Diagnose At Home: gastrointestinal diagnosis tests you can take from the comfort of your home.

Digestive and gastrointestinal problems can severely compromise your life. If you are troubled by persistent digestive tract issues, indigestion and stomach aches, it’s time to isolate the cause and move forward with a solution.

Every year, millions of people struggle with digestive disorders, including lactose intolerance, celiac disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In fact, inflammatory bowel disease in North America alone is one of the highest occurrences of IBD worldwide.

Now you don’t have to guess - or go all the way to the clinic for a gastrointestinal pathogen panel test or a blood test to detect gastrointestinal diseases. Order a fast and accurate gastrointestinal diagnostic test that’s easy to take in the privacy of your own home. You’ll get detailed results delivered to you confidentially by phone or email by a trusted medical professional, alerting you to any risk factors, such as issues with your esophagus or upper intestinal tract. Where imbalances and/or disease are detected, our healthcare professionals are standing by to connect you to the right medical advice fast.

Most people have occasional problems with their stomach, such as Indigestion and heartburn. You can relieve some stomach problems with over-the-counter medicines and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding fatty foods, lactose or eating less and more gradually at mealtime. Other problems, however, like peptic ulcers or GERD will require medical attention.

Gastrointestinal disorders include all diseases involving the gastrointestinal tract, namely the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine and rectum, along with the accessory organs of digestion, the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Most gastrointestinal disorders can be successfully treated with medications or surgery

Problems with the digestive track may be an indication of the following gastrointestinal disorders:

  • Crohn’s Disease: Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which can occur anywhere in the GI tract. It often occurs in the intestinal area, and can result in stomach pain, watery diarrhea and fatigue.
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD or heartburn): GERD occurs when food or liquid travels from the stomach back up into the esophagus (the tube that travels from the mouth to the stomach). This partially digested material is often acidic and can irritate the esophageal sphincter, often causing a burning sensation and problems swallowing. If left untreated GERD can permanently damage the lining of the esophagus.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): IBS, which occurs in the lower part of the intestinal tract, is characterized by abdominal cramping with alternating diarrhea and constipation, although one may be more common than the other. Symptoms of IBS may be worsened by emotional stress. IBS is also known as spastic colon, functional colitis, and irritable colon.
  • Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD): Peptic ulcers occur in the GI tract when gastric (stomach) acid is exposed to the lining of the stomach or the small intestine. They are commonly caused by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori that lives in the acid contents of the stomach.
  • SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth): Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, known as “SIBO” is a potentially serious condition affecting the small intestine. It occurs when bacteria that normally grow in other parts of the gut start growing in the small intestine. You may commonly experience belly pains, diarrhea, bloating and nausea.

Abdominal pain is common, but the severity of symptoms you may experience ranges from minor to life-threatening. It could, for example, be as simple as an upset tummy after a big meal, as complex as the onset of a debilitating disease like Crohn’s – or as critical as to require immediate surgery to remove part of your intestine.

Gastrointestinal tests and procedures are very important in cases where a symptom is acute or chronic. It will allow you to quickly rule out serious conditions – or take action if one is initially detected.

Our at-home gastrointestinal diagnostic tests are the first simple step to get to the root of what ails you. After all, feeling better could require just a simple treatment involving diet and lifestyle changes.

Where more serious conditions are detected, our medical professionals will guide you accordingly. They may direct you to gastrointestinal specialists to take a series of more complex tests that could include:

  • Barium Swallow
  • Barium Enema
  • Esophageal Manometry
  • Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscope
  • Anorectal manometry
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Upper GI Endoscopy
  • Pancreas Scan
  • Liver Scan
  • Colonoscopy
  • PCR test
  • Sigmoidoscopy
  • Abdominal X-ray
  • Abdominal Ultrasound
  • CT Scan of the Abdomen
  • CT Scan of the Liver and Biliary Tract
  • CT Scan of the Pancreas
  • Laparoscopy
  • Virtual Colonoscopy for Colorectal Cancer Screening
  • Colectomy
  • Proctectomy

You are more likely to experience gastrointestinal disorders if you

  • Drink too much alcohol
  • Smoke
  • Eat too much fat and sugar
  • Eat too little dietary fiber
  • Drink too few fluids (water)
  • Have a family history of gastrointestinal disorders
