Desulfovibrio piger
Desulfovibrio piger is a common sulphate-reducing bacterium (SRB) in the human gut microbiota. It reduces sulphate and other sulphur compounds into hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), a gas that in small amounts plays physiological roles but in excess can be toxic to intestinal cells. Elevated levels of D. piger have been associated with gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Its abundance may reflect increased sulphur intake through diet or a disrupted microbial balance that favours sulphur metabolism.
Description
It is a type of sulphur-reducing bacterium found in the gut that converts sulphate into hydrogen sulphide.
To evaluate sulphur metabolism and potential microbial imbalances linked to gut inflammation or dysbiosis.
An overgrowth of sulphur-reducing bacteria, which may lead to excessive hydrogen sulphide production and intestinal irritation.
While it is a normal resident of the gut, elevated levels may contribute to impaired gut barrier function and inflammation.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
