Gut Health Testing in Tampa, FL — Get to the Bottom of Bloating, Gas, Brain Fog, and IBS
Your gut is at the center of your immune system, your mood, your metabolism, and your energy. If it's off — everything is off. We test it with precision.
Bloating after every meal. Gas that's embarrassing and painful. Inconsistent digestion. A brain that feels like it's wrapped in cotton. Fatigue that coffee doesn't fix. If any of this sounds familiar, your gut may be telling you something that standard medicine isn't trained to hear.

At Ascend Health & Wellness, we use comprehensive stool and microbiome testing that goes far beyond a basic GI panel. We analyze the specific makeup of your gut bacteria, look for pathogenic organisms, assess gut permeability (leaky gut), and evaluate digestive enzyme sufficiency — giving us a real map of what's happening in your microbiome.

What Our Gut Panel Examines

Candida and yeast overgrowth

Short-chain fatty acid production

Secretory IgA (immune function of the gut)

Digestive enzyme levels and absorption markers
