Pathology of Digestion
Unlocking Digestive Health: Insights from the “Pathology of Digestion” Webinar
The Pathology of Digestion webinar offers a comprehensive exploration of digestive health, focusing on uncovering the root-symptom causes. This session delves into functional pathology—a cutting-edge approach that evaluates dysfunctions in digestive processes rather than merely diagnosing diseases. Unlike conventional pathology, which identifies the presence of illness, functional pathology provides a deeper understanding of how the gastrointestinal system operates, making it indispensable for addressing complex digestive challenges.
A Patient-Centred Approach to Assessment
The webinar begins by highlighting the importance of thorough patient assessments. Through detailed questionnaires and dietary evaluations, practitioners can establish a baseline understanding of symptoms, potential triggers, and dietary habits that may influence digestive health. These initial insights guide the selection of specific diagnostic tests tailored to the suspected condition.
Key Functional Pathology Tests
Stomach Health
- Helicobacter pylori Detection: Stool antigen, blood, and breath tests identify infections and inflammation caused by this common bacterium.
Small Intestine Health
- SIBO Testing: Breath tests diagnose Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, a frequent cause of bloating and discomfort.
- Intestinal Permeability: Markers like zonulin reveal “leaky gut,” while secretory IgA testing evaluates mucosal immunity.
- Coeliac Disease Testing: Essential for detecting gluten-triggered autoimmune responses.
- Detox Pathways: Hepatic detox profiles assess the body’s ability to process and eliminate toxins.
Large Bowel Health
- Complete Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA): A multi-level test (Levels 1 to 5) offering in-depth insights into bacterial balance, inflammation, and digestion efficiency.
- Advanced Microbiome Mapping: DNA-based stool tests and parasitology clarify the state of gut microbiota and detect parasitic infections.
- Organic Acids Testing: Provides a broader metabolic perspective, revealing imbalances affecting digestion and overall health.
- Urinary Amino Acid Profiling: Highlights metabolic issues linked to protein digestion and utilisation.
Bridging Assessment and Action
The webinar emphasises the value of combining functional pathology with clinical insights to create targeted, effective treatment strategies. By addressing the underlying causes of symptoms, practitioners can achieve better outcomes for patients struggling with digestive disorders.
