Precision Point Diagnostics: Advanced IBA Profile for Intestinal Barrier Assessment The Advanced Intestinal Barrier Assessment (IBA) profile from Precision Point Diagnostics offers an in-depth evaluation of intestinal barrier function. By utilizing a collection of innovative biomarkers, this test helps clinicians determine if their patients are experiencing intestinal permeability, commonly known as "leaky gut." Intestinal permeability is often linked to autoimmune diseases, systemic inflammation, and food sensitivities. Addressing gut barrier health is critical for resolving chronic diseases—without proper gut healing, other treatments may have limited effectiveness. Key Biomarkers in the Advanced IBA Profile The Advanced IBA profile features unique and clinically relevant markers that provide a comprehensive view of gut barrier health: Histamine & Diamine Oxidase (DAO): These markers offer insights into histamine regulation and the health of the gut mucosa. Plasma Zonulin: A reliable indicator of intestinal tight junction integrity, Plasma Zonulin is the preferred marker for assessing gut barrier function. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) & LPS Antibodies: LPS, produced by gram-negative bacteria, are endotoxins that can contribute to inflammation. LPS antibodies provide valuable information about intestinal permeability and associated inflammatory responses. This test is beneficial for patients suffering from allergies, food sensitivities, digestive issues, headaches, cognitive decline, depression, and other related conditions (refer to the Table of Associated Symptoms and Conditions for more details). Personalized Treatment Plans Based on IBA Results The Advanced IBA profile enables clinicians to develop tailored treatment plans based on each patient's specific test results, ensuring more effective and targeted interventions. Since no two patients are the same, protocols to improve intestinal permeability must be individualized. The Advanced IBA profile helps identify the root cause of barrier dysfunction, making treatment more efficient, cost-effective, and successful. Some patients may need to focus on balancing DAO and histamine levels, while others may need to address the underlying causes of Zonulin elevation or high LPS antibodies. With this precise approach, clinicians can effectively address the root causes of intestinal permeability and guide their patients back to health. By using the Advanced IBA profile, practitioners can pinpoint and treat intestinal permeability issues, ultimately helping their patients achieve long-term wellness.

Precision Point Diagnostics: Innovators in Functional Medicine Testing Solutions
Precision Point Diagnostics specializes in advanced testing solutions that support the diagnosis and management of conditions frequently addressed by Functional Medicine Physicians. Their unique diagnostic profiles empower practitioners to take a comprehensive approach to patient care, focusing on the root causes of health issues rather than just the symptoms.
A Systems-Based Approach to Healthcare
They are committed to helping physicians explore the intricate connections between the body’s systems. This "systems-based approach" enables a deeper understanding of how various biological processes influence overall health. By uncovering the underlying mechanisms of disease, their testing helps practitioners design personalized treatment plans aimed at long-term wellness—without unwanted side effects.
Many underlying health issues remain silent until they manifest as full-blown pathology. Through the measurement of key biological markers, Precision Point Diagnostics helps practitioners identify these issues early, providing a proactive pathway to prevention.
Root Cause Analysis for Long-Term Health
Their approach emphasizes the importance of diagnosing the root causes of health problems, not just treating the symptoms. Addressing these root causes is essential for achieving sustainable relief. Temporary symptom relief without targeting the underlying issue can lead to ongoing health problems.
Precision Point Diagnostics offers a range of tests to help identify imbalances or dysfunctions in key areas such as:
- GI Tract
- Immune System
- Hormones
- Toxins
- Nutritional Markers
- Inflammation
These diagnostics allow for the development of highly personalized treatment plans that cater to the unique needs of each patient, ensuring optimal results.
Precision Testing for Precise Results
They provide physicians with precision-based testing designed to yield accurate, actionable insights. The goal is to help practitioners effectively treat the whole person, aiming for optimal health outcomes.
