Genova GI Effects with Parasitology

*NON-PATIENT PRICING*

Gastrointestinal complaints are among the most common reasons that patients seek care. The more we learn about the impact gut health, the more evidence we have demonstrating the far-reaching effects of a compromised digestive tract. The Wellness Way has teamed with Genova Diagnostics to offer this exclusie panel to give the most comprehensive look into your GI. This custom analysis can help assess digestive and absorptive functions, the presence of bad bacteria, pathogens, and parasites, allowing patients to better address their intestinal health.

Fasting is not required for this test. Consult package instructions before completing test. Take all medications as prescribed. Certain medications can interfere with the tests included in the panel, so tell your health practitioner about any drugs that you are taking. Consult your results with a Wellness Way practitioner to make the most of them and develop a course of care that will bring optimal health.
