Anyone ever have this test or hear of it?

They also have tests for parasites and pathogens. My daughter has what I suppose is "Post-Infectious IBS-D," but her stool cultures come up negative. I was told regular lab tests are not sensitive enough, and I should take her stool to a veterinary lab! Maybe this is a better option?

Yep,
In Aus, gut permeability test has been available via functional medicine labs for ? 4 years or so.
In the last 6 months it has become available via all labs, and is now covered under govt Medicare system.

Thanks, Zizzle. Did you find a price list? My youngest son shows symptoms of both celiac and MC. It would be a lot easier to get him to do a saliva test than the poop test at Enterolab.
