Organic Acid Test (OAT):

This test will evaluate many medical conditions that have one or more abnormal Organic Acid compounds, due to abnormal levels of yeast and other gastrointestinal bacteria. These compounds can affect, among other things, neurologic functioning, vitamin utilization, energy level, intestinal wall integrity, hormone utilization, and muscle functions. The test also reveals oxalates, exposure to solvent toxins, possible diabetic conditions, deficiencies of B or C vitamins, and unusual levels of neurotransmitters.

Benefits:

• 65 important compounds as indicators of overall health
• Focuses on detecting yeast and bacterial byproducts that have been implicated in many disorders
• Requires a first morning urine sample only

Treatment options:

Depending on test results, suggestions include
• Diet modification
• Diet supplementation, primarily with nutrients which increase the quantity of the beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract
• Oral antifungal or anti-bacterial (anaerobic) medications
• Intake of vitamins and antioxidants
• Reduction of exposure to toxic chemicals
