GniomCheck is an analysis of the intestinal microbiota by DNA sequencing of intestinal bacteria by stool sample.

The intestinal microbiota is made up of billions of microorganisms that live in natural symbiosis with their host. In recent years, thanks to numerous scientific studies, the importance of bacteria for our health has been established.

Their role goes far beyond our “simple” digestion by impacting our: sleep, emotional balance, digestive comfort, weight control, appetite, tendency to intolerances & allergies and immunity.

To be in top shape and in good health, it is important to focus on your microbiota. This is why the analysis of your microbiota results in a personalized assessment informing you of the impact of your microbiota on all the roles mentioned above and personalized dietary recommendations.

You thus obtain the map of your microbiota and the first solutions to adopt for optimal well-being.

The GniomCheck test brings you information about what is happening in your body from your intestines without you being able to see or even smell it.

Are you prone to stress, irritability, bloating, weight gain, sleep disturbances and no matter what you do you can't cope? The GniomCheck test allows you to determine the root cause of these discomforts by studying the bacteria present or absent in your intestines.

You get a detailed personalized report on the following subjects on many points such as: balance of intestinal flora, diversity of bacteria, immune defences, digestive efficiency (proteins, lipids and carbohydrates), tendency to develop intolerances food (lactose & fructose) / allergies, indicators of inflammation and constipation. We also analyze the ratio of bacteria responsible for the assimilation of calories. This allows us to determine whether a person tends to gain or lose weight.

This information is listed in a report that gives you an overview of the impact of your microbiota on your body & the resulting personalized recommendations. Thus, you have in your hands the keys to improve your microbiota and your well-being in a sustainable way!

We have two interfaces where you can get information about the microbiota and your microbiota.

The microbiota www.gniom-check.com

Our website offers information on microbiota testing, a blog, and the solutions we have developed. This is a presentation and information website that also allows you to access the purchase of your kit.

Your microbiota www.mygnyiom-check.com

Our myGniom-Check platform is accessible following the purchase of a GniomCheck kit. It allows you to activate your kit, follow the steps and discover your personalized results & recommendations. It is necessary to create an account in order to access it. You have the possibility to create several profiles in order to gather your results and those of your family.

The microbiota, a real living organ, is constantly evolving. However, it takes time for new habits to permanently modify its composition. We advise you to carry out your second test 3 to 6 months after the first or according to the recommendations of your health referent. You will thus obtain an update on your microbiota, a visualization of your progress and new recommendations that will help you improve your balance sheet and your microbiota.

The GniomCheck test is perfectly suited to this approach since it provides a map of the microbiota, precise indicators making it very easy to visualize your evolution and finally personalized dietary recommendations.

To do this, you can order the duo kit consisting of two tests or buy a second test when you want to take stock. We advise you to carry out your second test 3 to 6 months after the first or according to the recommendations of your health referent.

We advise you to be followed by a health professional for the interpretation of your results and the possible evolution of your lifestyle & diet.

The GniomCheck test is for you if you have discomfort and disorders such as bloating, constipation, intolerances & allergies and more broadly, difficulty gaining or losing weight, disturbed sleep, emotional imbalance, etc. You will be as well guided in your search for cause, solution and follow-up of the evolution.

More generally, even without apparent problems, this test offers the possibility of better knowing your body and your state of health. Mapping your microbiota gives you an evocative “snapshot” of your gut health and general well-being. A poor lifestyle and an unbalanced diet can in the long run lead to various disorders. The GniomCheck test is part of this framework as a prevention tool.

Everything that is ingested influences the microbiota, even when it comes to drugs or dietary supplements. This explains the importance of informing the drugs, antibiotics and probiotics that you consume in the questionnaire part of the activation of your sample.

The microbiota is affected & influenced by everything that crosses it. Especially what is consumed on a daily basis!

Good to know: Antibiotics do not know how to target specific bacteria, whether they are in the intestines or in the body, and therefore also destroy those that are beneficial. This is why it is important to opt for a specific and personalized diet, an adapted lifestyle and possibly to supplement in order to restore a balanced microbiota.

If you perform a GniomCheck test right after an antibiotic treatment, the recommendations will be directed towards the recovery of the microbial ecosystem. Generally, three months after stopping antibiotics, a difference is already noticeable in the recovery of the microbiota. However, their negative impact can last up to a year or more in rare cases. A suitable lifestyle (a healthy diet rich in pre & probiotics, rich in fibre, probiotic supplementation) can accelerate this process. In order to assess the recovery of your intestinal microbiota, you can perform a follow-up test.

Warning: any interruption or discontinuation of drug treatment must be subject to medical supervision.

The GniomCheck test is offered for mature microbiota only initially. Anyone can perform a microbiota test from the age of 14.

Start by watching our explanatory video on the homepage of the platform www.mygniom-check.com or via the following link: https://youtu.be/L6ZqDvlJk9A

Your GniomCheck kit contains all the materials needed to collect a stool sample.

Take your sample on toilet paper by tapping with the attached cotton swab, then shake the cotton swab in the solution contained in the bottle provided. A pinhead-sized amount is more than enough. If the amount on the toilet paper is not enough, try collecting the stool in other ways and rubbing it out. Make sure that the cotton swab does not come into contact with the water in the toilet or with other utensils. Then simply slip the bottle into the enclosed T-envelope and send it back to the laboratory.

WARNING: it is important to collect a very small amount of stool, barely a pinhead; in which case the analysis cannot be performed.

First, make sure you have viewed the video presenting the sampling methodology, which you can find at the following link: https://youtu.be/L6ZqDvlJk9A.

If you are unable to collect the sample from the toilet paper, you can collect the stool in other ways, such as using a chamber pot or stretching plastic wrap over the toilet. Make sure that the stool and the cotton swab do not come into contact with anything else, to avoid falsifying the results.

It is important to collect only a minimal amount of stool, barely a pinhead is enough. Above all, do not fill the collection tube! In the event of an error during your direct debit, contact us via the chat form or by telephone on 09 74 19 00 54. We will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks to the DNA stabilization solution contained in the storage tube for your sample, the DNA of your intestinal bacteria remains intact for several months, even in the event of temperature variations. However, we advise you to send it as soon as possible in order to have a map of your current microbiota. Obtaining results six months after collection is not of great interest since the microbiota is constantly changing.

To resend your direct debit:

1) Make sure the cap of the tube that contains it is screwed on

2) Place the tube in the small bag it was in

3) Insert this sachet in the T-envelope contained in the kit

4) Slip the T envelope into a post office mailbox

We look forward to receiving it and then sending you your report and personalized recommendations!

The complete process of analyzing a sample, which is divided into several stages, takes about four weeks, from the dispatch of the T envelope if the sample is compliant (no excess stool ). As soon as your results are ready, you will receive an email with all the necessary information to discover them.

You will receive an email to the address entered on your www.mygniom-check.com account with all the necessary information to discover them on the platform.

You regularly check the mailbox that you entered on your www.mygniom-check.com account but do not receive an email indicating that your results are available.

In this case, you can follow these steps:

1) Check that your direct debit was sent more than 4 weeks ago. If not, it's normal, just a little more patience. If so, read on.

2) Check your spam in case the email is there. If the email is there, congratulations you have received your GniomCheck results! If it's not there, read on.

3) Contact us via the contact form available on the website or on the www.mygniom-check.com platform. We will answer you as soon as possible.

A process to improve your GniomCheck indicators is inseparable from an improvement in your lifestyle. At first, the easiest way is to follow the recommendations of your personalized report in terms of food and supplementation. More generally, it is important to balance your diet and stay hydrated. You can also make sure to insert physical activity sessions into your week and create relaxing pre-sleep routines for example.

These steps can disturb the body or sometimes you put yourself unconsciously in danger, which is why we advise you to be accompanied by a health professional for the follow-up of this step.

The GniomCheck test is perfectly adapted thanks to the monitoring of the evolution of the indicators. The microbiota, a real living organ, is constantly evolving. However, it takes time for new habits to permanently modify its composition. This is why we advise you to do another test at the earliest 90 days after the previous one if you want to take stock of your microbiota, visualize your progress and determine the new recommendations that will help you improve your balance sheet & your microbiota. .
