Advanced Gut Repair Testing

Digestive dysfunction is often at the root of fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune flares, hormone imbalance, and chronic inflammation. When the gut lining becomes compromised or the microbiome falls out of balance, symptoms rarely stay confined to the digestive system. At Health & Vitality Center, we offer advanced gut repair in Los Angeles using comprehensive functional medicine testing to uncover the precise causes of bloating, IBS, SIBO, food sensitivities, constipation, and diarrhea. Schedule your consultation today to begin advanced gut repair testing in Los Angeles.

Why Advanced Gut Testing Matters

Many patients are told their labs are "normal" despite ongoing digestive distress. Standard evaluations often miss subtle microbial imbalances, increased intestinal permeability, enzyme deficiencies, or inflammatory triggers. Advanced gut testing allows us to:

  • Detect dysbiosis and bacterial overgrowth
  • Identify fungal or parasitic infections
  • Evaluate intestinal permeability
  • Assess inflammatory markers
  • Pinpoint food sensitivities
  • Measure digestive enzyme function

By identifying the specific drivers of gut dysfunction, treatment becomes targeted rather than trial-and-error.

Our Advanced Gut Testing Options

To accurately diagnose and repair gut dysfunction, we utilize the following specialized evaluations:

GI Effect and Gut Zoomer

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis uncovers hidden gut imbalances that may be driving inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic systemic symptoms.

SIBO Breath Test

The SIBO breath test identifies hidden bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine that may be responsible for persistent gas, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

Wheat Zoomer or Leaky Gut Test

Leaky gut syndrome develops when the intestinal barrier becomes compromised, allowing inflammatory triggers to enter the bloodstream and affect multiple systems throughout the body.

Comprehensive Food Allergy and Sensitivity Testing (IgA and IgG)

Hidden food sensitivities can quietly drive inflammation, digestive distress, and autoimmune symptoms, even when standard allergy tests appear normal.

A Structured Approach to Gut Repair

Testing with a gut health doctor is only the first step. Once imbalances are identified, we implement a phased gut repair strategy that may include:

  • Targeted antimicrobial or antifungal protocols
  • Personalized elimination diets
  • Probiotics and microbiome restoration
  • L-glutamine, zinc, and other gut-healing nutrients
  • Detoxification support when indicated

By restoring gut integrity and reducing inflammatory triggers, many patients experience improvement not only in digestive symptoms but also in energy, cognition, skin health, and immune balance.

Why Choose Health & Vitality Center?

Founded in 2009, Health & Vitality Center is led by Dr. Shiva Lalezar, who integrates advanced gut diagnostics with structured functional medicine treatment plans. Rather than suppressing symptoms, we identify the microbial, inflammatory, and immune drivers contributing to digestive dysfunction and create personalized strategies to restore balance.
