What Can a Gut Microbiome Test Reveal? A Real Case Study

A gut microbiome test cannot diagnose disease, but it can surface microbial patterns that provide a deeper layer of clinical information and understanding to care management. In this case, a reassuring wellness score sat on top of a microbiome that closely resembled inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The individual was later found to have ulcerative colitis, and that single fact turned a set of scores into a clear, personalised picture.

Does Where You Live Affect Your Gut Microbiome?

Populations that live in different regions of the world have varying taxonomic compositions. Geographical location has an impact on the microbial populations due to prominent differences in diet across geographic regions. The abundance of a certain enterotype varies from region to region, thus resulting in gut microbial differences. So YES, geography does affect the microbiome!
