PRO Gut Health Test
Microbiome Analysis With Stool Chemistry Markers
What is This Test?
You can explore microbial DNA using shotgun metagenomics alongside stool chemistry markers with the PRO Gut Health Test, for ages 3 and older. Unlike a microbiome-only panel, PRO includes selected digestion, inflammation, and immune markers. Results do not establish the cause of broad symptoms or diagnose a condition on their own.
Confirm the exact panel, eligibility, preparation, and timing in your Fullscript order and current lab instructions. Kit instructions take priority over this general summary. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your clinician's guidance. Laboratory certification does not establish that every proposed clinical use is validated.

What Should You Discuss Before Testing?
Panel Selection
Ask whether microbial analysis, stool chemistry, or another test best fits your clinical question.
Age Eligibility
This panel is intended for ages 3 and older; confirm suitability before ordering.
Interpretation
An out-of-range marker is not a diagnosis or proof of a symptom's cause.
