Advances in Functional Digestive Testing - Part 1

This event is an excellent opportunity to listen to presentations on the latest in functional digestive testing from Invivo Clinical covering full upper and lower GI assessment - SIBO, intestinal permeability and lower GI microbiome analysis. This will include an advanced intestinal barrier assessment by Dunwoody Labs (zonulin, DAO, histamine, LPS) and an IgA/IgM against a range of intestinal bacteria antigens as an assessment of intestinal barrier integrity by R.E.D labs. SIBO testing by Aerodiagnostics and the GI-MAP DNA microbiome analysis by Diagnostic Solutions Lab will also be discussed. 

These are arguably some of the most advanced diagnostics available on the market for gastrointestinal health. This event is designed to give practitioners more knowledge of assessing imbalances, and to feel more confident in knowing which test to choose, as the science continues to develop in new ways. There will a Q&A session at the end. 

Exhibitors include Invivo Clinical, Biocare and Toxaprevent.
