GI Ecologix was recommended by my GP in the hope that we can discover what is happening in my gut.
At this time I’m only able to give a rating for delivery and packaging as I or my GP haven’t as yet received any results or information.
The testing kit arrived pretty swiftly and was well packed. The instructions are easy to follow and on completion of sample collection and repackaging I mailed the samples straight away on 21st October2024. According to my Special delivery tracking number the package was delivered to Invivo Healthcare the following day 22nd October 2024.
Today is 26th November 2024 and hope I shall receive results asap.
I have been using this product through my functional nutritionalist for a number of years and am impressed how it shows up issues that don’t come up on NHS tests. I have multiple issues and it helps to show whether or not any have reoccured. It has been very useful to show NHS consultants though. Compared with some
other tests having to be collected by and sent by courier, it is so easy to post. Worth every penny.
As a registered Naturopath and nutritional therapist I use Invivo GI Ecologix functional test to help establish clear understanding of gut health for my clients. Every client has their own gut ecology story so direction and clarity is essential to support recovery. (justineevans.co.uk)
As a registered nutritionist and gut health specialist (https://kalratcliffe.com/), I have been using Invivo’s functional tests to support my clients to get to the underlying cause of their symptoms with great success. Often clients have had conventional medical tests which have come back normal, yet they still experience symptoms. My favourite go to test is the GI EcologiX, which is a simple to use, one sample test which makes it very convenient to use. Along with a food diary and case analysis, testing fast tracks progress as it helps to determine what may be going on for my clients and how we can address and support for optimal gut health. I love that it has NHS recognised markers included as well as looking at other key markers such as digestive capacity and the microbial balance to help me draw up a personalised plan. I have used many of the tests on myself and can definitely recommend them. Well done Invivo for the excellent practitioner support!
I know some people may hesitate at the cost involved in this test but trust me you won’t regret it. I have battled to be heard re my symptoms and have had to pursue things myself with the help of a functional practitioner. This test has proven what I have been saying all along re my symptoms and is allowing me to hopefully get some help to relive some of my symptoms and hopefully I will be able to use these results at my next consultant appt to prove to them what I have been saying is wrong with me for the last 12 + months. Thank you for such a comprehensive test.
Recommended by a nutritionist and results clarified for me. This has been so interesting and helpful. I will be ordering again, in time, once I make the necessary dietary changes, to see how I have progressed.
