The GI360 Profile Test, developed by Doctor’s Data, offers healthcare professionals a
state-of-the-art solution for understanding the complexities of the gastrointestinal
microbiome. This advanced diagnostic tool provides deep insights into how various
microorganisms influence not only gut health but also systemic wellness.
The GI360 Profile Test: A Comprehensive Diagnostic Tool for Gut Health
Key Features of the GI360 Test
Broad Spectrum Analysis: The GI360 test evaluates over 45 analytes, surpassing standard microbiome assessments by providing an extensive view of microbial diversity and abundance. This comprehensive scope ensures a more thorough understanding of the patient’s gut health.
Benefits for Healthcare Practitioners
In-Depth Microbiome Insights
The GI360 delivers detailed information about the microbiome’s composition, revealing key interactions among microorganisms. These insights are invaluable for practitioners in understanding the microbiome’s role in influencing gastrointestinal and overall health.
Precision in Treatment Planning
With its focus on pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and functional markers, the test supports personalized treatment plans. Whether managing infections, dietary sensitivities, chronic GI disorders, or systemic health issues, the GI360 equips practitioners with the necessary data for targeted interventions tailored to each patient’s unique health needs.
Diagnostic Accuracy for Improved Patient Outcomes
By analyzing a broad range of analytes, the GI360 enhances diagnostic precision. This capability allows practitioners to pinpoint the root causes of complex symptoms, leading to more effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
Ideal Patient Profiles for the GI360 Test
The GI360 is a valuable diagnostic tool for patients with both gastrointestinal and systemic conditions. It helps healthcare providers develop more targeted strategies by uncovering microbial imbalances that may affect various systems.
Gastrointestinal Conditions
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): Differentiates IBS from IBD by identifying
microbial imbalances.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Useful for monitoring Crohn’s disease and
ulcerative colitis by assessing gut microbiota.
• Chronic GI Symptoms: Effective for evaluating diarrhea, abdominal pain, or
mucosal dysfunction.
Systemic and Related Disorders
• Celiac Disease and Gluten Sensitivity: Identifies gut health issues linked to malabsorption.
• Neurological and Mental Health Conditions: Explores connections between the gut-brain axis and disorders like anxiety or depression.
• Cardiovascular Health: Evaluates how the gut microbiome may influence heart disease.
• Autoimmune and Inflammatory Conditions: Assesses gut permeability and microbial balance to support immune function.
• Skin Conditions: Identifies microbial triggers for skin issues like eczema or psoriasis.
What the GI360 Test Measures
The GI360 test uses advanced technology to evaluate a wide range of microorganisms, offering detailed insights into the patient’s gastrointestinal health.
Detection Technologies
• Multiplex PCR: Simultaneously detects multiple pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and
parasites with high sensitivity.
• MALDI-TOF: Identifies bacterial and yeast cultures through advanced mass
spectrometry for precise microbial analysis.
• Microscopy: Provides visual confirmation of parasites and microorganisms that
may not be detected by PCR or MALDI-TOF.
Dysbiosis Index (DI)
The GI360 report includes a Dysbiosis Index (DI), a score from 1 to 5 that reflects how much the patient’s microbiota deviates from a healthy norm.
• Scores and Standard Deviations: Results are reported from -3 to +3 standard deviations compared to a healthy population.
• Interpreting the Index: Higher DI scores indicate more significant disruptions in the gut microbiome, guiding treatment plans accordingly.
Sample Collection Guidelines for the GI360 Test
Accurate sample collection is essential to ensure reliable results. Below are the requirements and recommendations for proper collection:
• Three-Day Stool Collection: The test requires stool samples collected over three days to capture variations in the gut microbiome.
• Flexible Timeline: While consecutive-day collection is preferred, samples can be collected within seven days.
• Post-Treatment Testing: Wait at least three weeks after completing treatment to avoid false positives from dead pathogens.
Key Markers Evaluated by the GI360 Test
• Pathogen Identification: Detects pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites to diagnose infections and GI disorders.
• Digestion and Absorption Markers: Assesses functional aspects of gut health to identify malabsorption or nutritional deficiencies.
• Inflammatory Markers: Measures gastrointestinal inflammation, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like infections or IBD.
