Discovering a gastrointestinal tract assessment is about understanding how your digestive system works as a whole. This process combines key diagnostics to map gut health, inflammation, and digestion efficiency. Depending on your clinician's plan, you might be asked to provide stool samples for microbiome sequencing, blood tests to check markers of inflammation or immunity, and other functional assessments of gut health. Knowing what to expect during tests helps you stay calm and prepared, and helps you participate actively in your care. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers many GI tract assessment programs. As a modular platform, it delivers a robust set of insights: a Gut Microbiome Health Index from 0 to 100 that reflects overall gut health based on a proprietary collaboration with EAFIT University; a curated list of top 40 bacteria with comparisons to a healthy cohort showing where you stand on key players. It also classifies bacterial functions as positive or negative and scores you against a healthy reference on each functional category. For deeper insight, Target Group analysis examines how your microbiome supports specific goals, such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, or Skin & Hair Health. And with personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic advice, you get actionable steps tailored to your unique gut microbiome. Learn more about how these features power a gastrointestinal tract assessment by exploring InnerBuddies’ offerings: InnerBuddies microbiome test and the broader ecosystem described on their pages. When preparing for a GI tract assessment, you can maximize clarity and usefulness by keeping a few practical steps in mind. Track your typical diet with 3-day food diaries to help the analysis interpret how your meals influence the gut microbiome. Stay hydrated and follow any pre-test instructions provided by your clinician or the lab—these may include dietary adjustments or timing considerations for sample collection. After you receive results, the platform’s side-by-side comparisons to healthy cohorts and target-group benchmarks help you understand what the numbers mean and how changes to nutrition, lifestyle, or targeted supplements might move the needle. Whether you’re seeking a consumer-friendly test to guide daily wellness or a scalable GI tract assessment solution for your program, InnerBuddies can help you access comprehensive gut health insights.
