Vibrant Wellness: Gut Zoomer Stool Test : Microbiome, Inflammation, Zonulin & Gut-Brain Markers

$669.00

***NOTICE: Cannot ship to NY***

A comprehensive stool test to map your microbiome, gut inflammation, digestion, intestinal barrier patterns, and gut–brain signaling.

If you’ve been dealing with bloating, unpredictable stools, food reactions, fatigue, brain fog, skin flares, or symptoms that don’t “add up,” your gut may be the missing piece. The Gut Zoomer is an advanced stool test that evaluates microbial balance, pathogens, inflammation, digestion/absorption, immune activity, metabolites, and even gut neurotransmitter pathways—so you and your clinician can stop guessing and start targeting the true patterns.


What this test looks at (big picture)

Gut Zoomer evaluates biomarkers across key categories, including:

  • Gut Commensals (beneficial + imbalanced bacteria)

  • Phyla distribution + diversity indices (how resilient your microbiome is)

  • Gut pathogens (bacteria, protozoa, helminths, fungi, viruses)

  • Inflammatory markers (immune activity inside the gut lining)

  • Digestion & immune balance markers (enzymes, sIgA, pH, FIT, zonulin)

  • Gut antibodies (immune reactions tied to gut barrier + gluten-associated markers)

  • Malabsorption markers (fat + fiber digestion patterns)

  • Gut metabolites (SCFAs + bile acids + β-glucuronidase)

  • Gut neurotransmitters & pathways (gut–brain chemistry patterns)


Why Gut Zoomer can be a game-changer

A basic stool test often checks only a few pathogens. Gut Zoomer goes further by showing:

  • Whether your gut ecosystem looks diverse and stable or stressed and depleted (diversity indices + phyla ratios)

  • Whether you have signals of gut inflammation (multiple markers—not just one)

  • Whether your gut is struggling with barrier integrity patterns (including fecal zonulin)

  • Whether digestion support may be needed (ex: pancreatic elastase, fat markers, fiber findings)

  • Whether your microbiome output (like butyrate and other SCFAs) supports healthy metabolism, inflammation balance, and gut lining nourishment

  • Whether bile acids + β-glucuronidase patterns suggest issues with detox recirculation and hormone clearance pathways


Who this test is for

Gut Zoomer is especially helpful if you have:

  • Chronic bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, IBS-like symptoms

  • Food reactions or “my gut is sensitive” symptoms

  • Brain fog, fatigue, mood changes, anxiety that seem connected to your digestion

  • Skin flares, histamine-type reactions, or systemic inflammation patterns

  • A history of antibiotic use, travel exposure, or suspected pathogen/overgrowth patterns

  • Ongoing symptoms despite “clean eating” or basic labs looking normal

Test Turn Around Time: 10-12 days

Results securely emailed within 12-16 days.

What exactly is included

1) Gut Pathogens + resistance genes

Gut Zoomer screens for a broad set of pathogens including:

  • 28 bacteria

  • 14 protozoans

  • 15 helminths (worms)

  • 6 fungi/yeast

  • 13 viruses

  • Antibiotic resistance genes (reported as detected/not detected)

    Gut-Zoomer-Complete-Markers-List

    Gut-Zoomer-Complete-Markers-List

Pathogens can be reported qualitatively and/or semi-quantitatively (for many organisms, results may be expressed in copies/µL with scientific notation).


2) Gut Commensals + microbiome patterns

Gut Zoomer uses advanced microbiome profiling to assess key commensal (beneficial and/or imbalanced) organisms—often from phylum down to species level—so patterns of dysbiosis are easier to identify.


3) Gut Diversity + phyla ratios

This section includes:

  • Shannon Index and Simpson Index (two ways to represent microbiome diversity)

  • Phyla distribution (a snapshot of major bacterial groups)

  • Key ratios such as Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and Prevotella/Bacteroides


4) Gut Inflammation markers

Inflammation is not “one thing,” so this panel uses multiple markers, including:

  • Calprotectin

  • Lactoferrin

  • Beta defensin 2

  • MMP-9

  • Lysozyme

  • S100A12

  • Eosinophil Protein X


5) Digestion & immune balance

Includes stool-based markers that can suggest digestive performance and mucosal immune response, such as:

  • Pancreatic elastase 1

  • Secretory IgA (sIgA)

  • Fecal zonulin

  • pH

  • Fecal immunochemical test (FIT)


6) Gut antibodies

This section includes gut-immune antibody markers, including gluten-associated markers (tTg/DGP/anti-gliadin) plus additional immune markers such as actin antibody, LPS antibody, and ASCA.


7) Malabsorption + fat digestion markers

This section looks for patterns that can suggest absorption issues, including:

  • Meat/vegetable fiber detection

  • Fecal fat + lipid markers (total fecal fat, triglycerides, long-chain fatty acids, cholesterol, phospholipids)


8) Gut metabolites: SCFAs, bile acids, β-glucuronidase

This is where the “output” of your microbiome becomes visible—especially:

  • Short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate + total SCFAs

    Gut-Zoomer-Complete-Markers-List

  • Bile acids (CA, CDCA, DCA, LCA + ratios)

    Gut-Zoomer-Complete-Markers-List

  • β-glucuronidase (a marker tied to toxin/hormone deconjugation patterns)


9) Gut neurotransmitters + pathways (gut–brain)

Gut Zoomer includes gut neurotransmitter markers and pathway patterns (examples include serotonin pathway metabolites, dopaminergic breakdown markers, histamine pathway markers, GABA/glutamate, kynurenine pathway metabolites, and more).


How the test is performed

Sample type: stool (often includes an unpreserved stool sample, depending on kit instructions).

Methods used (high level):

  • Real-time PCR and deep metagenomic PCR are used for microbial detection/profiling in stool.

  • ELISA is used for several inflammation/digestion markers (example markers include calprotectin, zonulin, sIgA, lactoferrin, and others).

  • LC-MS/MS is used for metabolites like SCFAs, bile acids, and neurotransmitter-related markers.


How results are reported

Your report is organized into clear sections and typically displays results with risk indicators (commonly shown as green/yellow/red for low/moderate/high risk patterns, depending on the marker group). Reference ranges are based on healthy adult cohorts (and pediatric reference ranges may not be available for some sections).


Important note about interpretation (please read)

This type of testing is designed to support wellness assessment and should be interpreted in the context of symptoms, history, and clinical judgment. Antibody titers do not diagnose infection, and results should be reviewed with a qualified clinician before making major changes to diet, exercise, medications, or supplements.
