Labs

The tests described in Digestive Wellness are all performed by the laboratories listed below. These labs also offer a wide variety of other useful functional tests. The tests listed here are not the ordinary tests you will find in your local medical lab or hospital, although many tests that were originally only performed by these laboratories have found their way into local and national labs. Unless your physician is nutritionally oriented, he/she may be unfamiliar with many of these tests. Don't let that deter you from asking your physician to order any tests you feel may be appropriate for you and your condition. Your physician can call these labs for complete information packages and test kits. These labs also provide competent staff to assist your doctor with interpretation of the results.

Dr. Lipski is available to consult with you or your doctor about the use and interpretation of these tests.
See our Personal Consulting section for more details.
