The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient's overall health with 76 makers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganism can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors. 
​
Our OAT also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT test to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses. 
​
If abnormalities are detected using the OAT, treatments can include supplements, such as vitamins and antioxidants, or dietary modification. Upon treatment, patients and practitioners have reported significant improvement such as decreased fatigue, regular bowel function, increased energy and alertness, increased concentration, improved verbal skills, less hyperactivity, and decreased abdominal pain. The OAT is strongly recommended as their initial screening test. 
 
Includes testing and print out of results. For interpretation and a plan of action based on your results you must make an appointment with our office. 
 
**Once the test is purchased, please call our office at 308-386-4799. You will need to set up a new patient appointment and a follow up visit to go over results after the test is completed. Insurance does not pay for the functional test, but the medical portion of your visit is often covered by insurance. We do recommend setting up an extended visit to go over results, as there is a lot of information, this additional time will be out of pocket.
