Did you know your gut health plays a major role in autoimmune diseases, including Type 1 diabetes (T1D)? Specific gut imbalances, such as low levels of beneficial bacteria like SCFA-producing microbes and Akkermansia muciniphila, are common in diabetes and can affect blood sugar control and overall health.

Your gut microbiome does so much more than just digest food. It supports your immune system, helps absorb nutrients, and even breaks down harmful waste. When something is off in your gut, it can lead to inflammation, blood sugar challenges, and other complications—making it essential to understand what’s happening inside.

What is BiomeFx™?
BiomeFx™ is a powerful at-home stool test that gives you a full picture of your gut health. It identifies which microorganisms are thriving, which are missing, and how these imbalances might be affecting your overall wellness. With this information, you and your healthcare provider can create a tailored plan with food, lifestyle changes, and supplements to restore balance and improve health.

Why It’s Especially Important for T1D
Autoimmune diseases often begin in the gut, and T1D is no exception. The Type 1 Diabetes Comprehensive Gut Panel uses advanced testing like BiomeFx™ to:

  • Detect imbalances in gut bacteria.
  • Identify inflammation levels that impact blood sugar and immune function.
  • Assess microbiome diversity, crucial for managing autoimmune conditions.

Do These Symptoms Sound Familiar?

  • Blood sugars stuck high despite insulin adjustments.
  • Bloating, gas, or heartburn.
  • Irregular bowel movements.
  • Skin issues like acne, eczema, or psoriasis.
  • Hormone imbalances (PMS, heavy periods).
  • A history of multiple autoimmune conditions.

If you’re tired of hearing “everything looks normal” but still feel off, or if you’re curious about how gut health impacts your overall wellness, this test could be the answer.

What’s Included in the Panel?

  • BiomeFx™ at-home stool test kit.
  • Prepaid shipping for convenience.
  • Detailed PDF lab results.
  • A personalized video interpretation by Kelly, a dietitian with T1D who understands the unique challenges of autoimmune conditions.

With this test, you’ll gain clear, actionable insights into what’s driving your symptoms and how to address them. A healthier gut is the first step to long-term health, inflammation control, and fewer complications.
