Through advanced functional medicine testing, including stool and
urine organic acids, I learned about the underlying causes of my IBS — including Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and candida overgrowth.
We can often detect nutrient deficiencies via lab tests, such as
a urine organic acids test for some B vitamins.
This includes but is not limited to comprehensive stool testing,
urine organic acids, nutrient levels, food sensitivity, complete hormones, cortisol (adrenal), heavy metals, genetics, mycotoxins and environmental chemicals.
We talked about getting
the urine organic acids for looking into the yeast and measuring it that way because stool test often gives us a false negative.
In dopamine - secreting neurons, dopa is metabolized into HVA, which can be measured in
the urine organic acid test.
In these neurons, dopamine is metabolized into homovanillic acid which can be measured in
the urine organic acid test.

Meaning, Candida's in there and it broke down into this
organic acid, and we found it in the
urine.
So, sometimes we see people to get the stool test back and they're maybe okay from a fungal perspective, but when we look at the
organic acid urine, we may see that the D - rabanose is on the higher side which tells us there maybe some kinda fungal thing going on at a systemic level and sometimes we may see it systemically but not on the gut.
The
organic acid test is a
urine test that will look at a biomarker of B6 called pyrodixic.
Since a similar marker of DNA oxidative damage repair, 8 - OHDG, is measured in the
urine on
organic acids tests offered by certain labs, could
organic acids testing be used to assess AD risk in our patients?
But what happens is, when we pull up your stool test and your
organic acids, if we see that you've got elevated HPHPA — That's
organic acid that will show high on an OAT Test, a
urine test.
Instead of tests that measure nutrient concentrations, the OATs measures abnormal concentrations of
organic acids in
urine.
