StoolOMX Reference Guide
Advanced Bile Acid Testing and Short Chain Fatty Acid Evaluation in One Panel
GI-MAP Add-On Panel
StoolOMX™ combines two essential quantitative analyses in one convenient panel, a bile acid test and a short chain fatty acid test. StoolOMX is an add-on profile to the GI‑MAP® and evaluates 25 bile acids in total concentrations, percents, and ratios, as well as nine short chain fatty acids. Results from StoolOMX offer practitioners a more precise look into the underlying causes of IBS, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, altered motility, the state of the microbiome, and more.
Bile acids and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play essential roles in digestion, motility, microbiome balance, and metabolic health. Testing these gut metabolites provides additional understanding of gut functionality, revealing imbalances that may contribute to various health concerns.
