The Gut Barrier Panel

Simplify Holistic Nutrition Consulting & Functional Medicine Health and Wellness Coaching

Let me introduce the new updated GUT Barrier Panel from KBMO Diagnostics: It is available as a stand-alone test on my website and is included in the FIT 132 Test and the FIT 176 Test.

KBMO Diagnostics offers the only patented Food Sensitivity Testing on the market that measures sensitivities for up to 176 different foods, colorings and additives using the Food Inflammation Test, also known as the FIT Test. The test was created by Brent Dorval, Ph. D., who was involved in the creation of the first HIV/AIDS rapid diagnostic assay.

In addition to the FIT Test, KBMO Diagnostics offers their unique Gut Barrier Panel which includes: Candida, Zonulin, Occludin, and LPS. The FIT Test comes in three panels: the FIT 22, FIT 132, and FIT 176. The numbers stand for the foods/additives and extracts tested for. The Gut Barrier Panel is included with the FIT 176 and FIT 132 and is NOW available as a stand-alone panel.

Silke Heine is creating currently all FIT 176 Test meal plans

The FIT Test is the most sensitive food test available using patented technology. The multiple pathway approach allows to measure the whole immune system and looks at not only food sensitivities but also inflammation and gut permeability all from one test. KBMO Diagnostics also provides best in class compliance tools including a personalized meal plan, and an app where you can see your test results, possible cross reactions and your meal plan.

As the head nutritionist of KBMO Diagnostics since almost 10 years, I am creating currently all FIT 176 Test meal plans with a large team of amazing and reliable meal planners. I could not do this alone, and I am so grateful for my team!!!

Gut Barrier Panel (GB Panel)

KBMO has created a unique Gut Barrier Panel which in recognition that leaky gut occurs across a spectrum; KBMO Diagnostics has included the following gatekeeper markers: Candida, Zonulin, Occludin, and Lipopolysaccharides (LPS).

Candida
We measure and use any candida overgrowth in the stomach/dysbiosis as a precursor to leaky gut occurrence.

Zonulin
Zonulin is a marker of intestinal permeability, otherwise known as leaky gut. If a patient has elevated zonulin levels, the normal regulation of the tight junctions is compromised. This zonulin marker is unique to KBMO.

Occludin
Occludin is a marker of tight junction stabilization and optimal barrier function. Elevated occludin indicates that the tight junctions are breaking down.

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS)
LPS is a major structural component of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Elevated levels of antibody against LPS may be indicative of Leaky Gut Syndrome and other gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases.

For all clients who have been working on improving their gut health, the new stand-alone Gut Barrier Panel will be so helpful to retest. It is now available on my website for $ 199 including a 30-minute test review with me. I am excited to offer this test to all my clients.

Recommended Supplements

As I mentioned before, I love the supplements from the company www.PatientOneFormulas.com. I have met the owners at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium several years in a row and love how they keep developing new products according to people’s needs. I also appreciate the labeling that shows “Free off” for my clients, to make sure we can avoid what we should not include in our daily healing protocols. To create your own patient account on this website, you need to use my cell phone number as a passcode to be able access ordering your supplements (781 883 5951).
