Event Details
Microbiome Guardian Meetups Autumn Tour 2025
In this practical, interactive workshop, the Invivo team will delve into Understanding Intestinal Inflammation – what it is, how to assess it and why it matters in clinical practice.
Intestinal inflammation is a hallmark feature of inflammatory bowel disease. However, its role in a variety of other gastrointestinal and systemic conditions may be under-recognised. While often discussed alongside intestinal permeability, intestinal inflammation represents a distinct biological process – requiring its own diagnostic lens, therapeutic strategies, and clinical considerations.
We’ll explore:
- The common signs and symptoms of intestinal inflammation
- Why functional testing is key to accurate assessment
- Core gastrointestinal health markers: Calprotectin, Lactoferrin, Faecal occult blood and Secretory IgA
- The gut microbiome’s role in driving inflammation and the relevance of wider microbial markers such as hexa-LPS, butyrate and other SCFAs, mucin degradation, and indole-3 propionic acid (IPA) in assessing risk
- Emerging insights on the interplay between oral microbes and intestinal inflammation
You’ll also gain evidence-informed guidance on:
- Recognising red flags in testing and when to refer to a specialist
- How to personalise intervention strategies for clients with intestinal inflammation
- Effective clinical use of anti-inflammatory botanicals, polyphenols, nutrients, pre and probiotics
As always with our Microbiome Guardian Meet-ups, there will also be plenty of opportunity to socialise and network with fellow practitioners in your area and the Invivo team.
