Gut Health Testing & Treatment in Fayetteville, AR
Bloating after every meal. Fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix. Skin that flares up for no clear reason. If any of that sounds familiar, the cause may not be what you’ve been treating it may be your gut.
Care built around what's actually happening in your body and what the evidence for each test actually supports.
At Rejuvenated, A Well Labs+ Medspa, gut health testing in Fayetteville, AR starts with real data, so your care plan is built around your body not a template.
We built this page as your complete resource for gut health, Fayetteville, AR patients can actually use: the symptoms to watch for, the tests that answer them, and what treatment looks like once you have real results.
Signs your gut health may be off
Gut dysfunction doesn’t always show up as an upset stomach. Some of the most common signs we see in Fayetteville, AR patients include:
A normal colonoscopy checks for structural issues. It doesn’t evaluate the balance of bacteria, yeast, and inflammation markers in your microbiome. That’s a different kind of testing, and it’s part of the broader, functional-medicine approach we offer for patients whose symptoms haven’t been explained by standard workups.
Irregular bowel movements, bloating, or pain after eating
Skin issues like acne, eczema, or unexplained flare-ups
Persistent fatigue or brain fog
Frequent headaches
New or worsening food sensitivities
Symptoms consistent with SIBO, candida overgrowth, or general gut dysbiosis
Irregular bowel movements, bloating, or pain after eating
Two primary tools for a clearer picture of your gut health
Which one we recommend depends on your symptoms and goals.
OPTION ONE
GI-MAP Stool Analysis
This is a comprehensive, at-home stool test using qPCR technology to look at your gut microbiome. It’s genuinely useful for detecting specific things like bacterial or yeast overgrowth, parasites, and H. pylori all things a standard PCR-based test is well-suited to identify.
It’s worth being clear that using this kind of broader microbiome mapping to build a personalized protocol for symptoms like fatigue or skin flare-ups is part of a functional-medicine approach rather than a standard diagnostic pathway endorsed by mainstream gastroenterology societies for these symptoms.
You collect the sample at home, and results typically return in two to three weeks with a personalized protocol built around what we find. This is a reasonable starting point if you suspect SIBO, candida, or want a deeper look at unexplained chronic digestive symptoms, and Dr. Gentry can walk you through what the results can and can’t tell us.
OPTION TWO
Food Sensitivity Testing (IgG)
A simple in-office blood draw measures IgG antibody levels to different foods. It’s important to understand what this test does and doesn’t establish. Major allergy and immunology organizations, including the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, have stated clearly that IgG antibody levels are not a validated way to diagnose food allergy or intolerance, since positive results are common even in healthy people with no sensitivity at all, and generally reflect normal food exposure rather than a problem.
We don’t present this test as a definitive allergy diagnosis. Instead, we use it as one data point within a broader functional-medicine approach, alongside your symptom history and an elimination-and-reintroduction process, to help identify patterns worth exploring together.
If a specific food allergy is a concern, IgE testing or an oral food challenge through an allergist is the recognized diagnostic standard, and Dr. Gentry can help coordinate that referral if it’s the right next step for you.
Not sure which one applies to you? That's exactly what your consultation is for. We'll walk through your symptom history together and recommend the option that actually fits your situation, rather than running everything by default.
Testing is only useful if it leads somewhere.
Once your results are back, we walk you through them in plain language no medical jargon left unexplained and build a personalized plan that may include targeted supplementation, dietary adjustments, and a follow-up visit to track your progress.
Gut health treatment isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a short series of adjustments based on what your specific results show and how your body responds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gut health refers to the balance of bacteria, yeast, and other microorganisms in your digestive system. That balance affects digestion, immunity, energy, mood, and even skin clarity, which is why gut issues often show up as symptoms that don’t look digestive at all.
If your symptoms point to bacterial or yeast overgrowth, parasites, or chronic unexplained digestive issues, GI-MAP is the deeper test. If you’re curious whether certain foods might be connected to your symptoms as part of a broader elimination approach, food sensitivity testing can be one piece of that picture, alongside your symptom history rather than as a standalone diagnosis.
Yes. Once your GI-MAP results identify the underlying imbalance, we build a targeted protocol around it, whether that’s bacterial overgrowth, yeast overgrowth, or general dysbiosis.
Your first visit is a consultation with our clinical team to review your symptoms and history, decide which test fits your situation, and walk through exactly how the testing process works, including what it can and can’t tell us, before you commit to anything.
Most patients notice initial changes in digestion and energy within a few weeks of starting their protocol, though full resolution depends on what your test results show and how consistently the plan is followed.
