IBS is the most common gastrointestinal disorder, with worldwide prevalence rates ranging from 10-15%. Candida is a fungal pathogen that is healthy in normal amounts, but if allowed to overgrow, it can wreak havoc on the digestive system and create an imbalanced gut microbiome. Candida overgrowth can also cause infections in the bloodstream or major organs; Candidemia is one of the most common bloodstream infections in the US. Fungal or bacterial overgrowth and infections can cause increased intestinal permeability, leading to chronic inflammation and conditions such as IBS. The Vibrant Wellness Candida + IBS Profile helps identify IBS-diarrhea predominant (IBS-D) or IBS-mixed type (IBS-M) associated with fungal/bacterial overgrowth and determine if pathogens are at the root of your digestive symptoms. The panel will allow you to discover the source of your symptoms and build a personalized wellness plan with your provider to address inflammation, resolve fungal or bacterial overgrowth, and improve your lifestyle. How Should I Prepare For This Test? Follow our simple instructions to perform this dried blood spot test at home or at a practitioner’s office. Before testing: No need to fast—consume your normal diet. Your provider may ask you to discontinue medications or dietary supplements. Speak with your provider to learn more. Send the test to our labs for analysis and work with your care provider to understand the results.
