Breath Test — Lactose
CHF 90

- For those who feel unwell after milk and dairy products and want functional confirmation.
- What we analyse
- Breath test measuring hydrogen and methane.
- How it is carried out

- 5–7 days
MCS-IN-03
SIBO — Bacterial overgrowth
CHF 100

- What we analyse
- Breath test (hydrogen and methane) for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
- How it is carried out
- Breath test, non-invasive.

Food Intolerances — Screening
MCS-IN-04
For those who suspect certain foods are causing symptoms but do not know which ones.
- Blood
- 10–14 days
MCS-IN-04
Food Intolerances — Screening
CHF 125
- Who it is for
- For those who suspect certain foods are causing symptoms but do not know which ones.
- What we analyse
- IgG4 against the 95 most important foods (46 individual + 8 pools).
- How it is carried out
- Blood sample.
- Why it matters
- An affordable first indication of which foods to investigate, before moving on to the extended panels.
- How to prepare
- Keep to your usual diet in the preceding weeks: cutting foods out distorts the result.
- Turnaround time
- 10–14 days
A tool for dietary orientation, not a diagnosis of allergy: the clinical value of IgG4 testing is debated within the allergy community. True IgE-mediated food allergy requires dedicated testing.

HIT — Histamine intolerance
MCS-IN-05
For those with flushing, headaches, digestive symptoms or hives after histamine-rich foods (red wine, mature cheeses, cured meats).
- Stool
- Blood
- 10–14 days
MCS-IN-05
HIT — Histamine intolerance
CHF 175
- Who it is for
- For those with flushing, headaches, digestive symptoms or hives after histamine-rich foods (red wine, mature cheeses, cured meats).
- What we analyse
- DAO enzyme and cofactors (vit. B6, zinc, copper), histamine in stool. Midi: histamine degradation capacity. Complete: HNMT cofactor (SAM).
- How it is carried out
- Blood (serum, EDTA, heparin) + stool.
- Why it matters
- If the DAO enzyme is deficient, histamine accumulates: knowing your degradation capacity allows targeted diet and supplementation.
- How to prepare
- No particular preparation. Stop antihistamines 48 h beforehand, if clinically possible.
- Turnaround time
- 10–14 days

MCS-IN-06
Gut Microbiota — Mini
CHF 225
- Who it is for
- For those who want to know the state of their gut flora as a first step.
- What we analyse
- Bacteria and fungi: diversity, phyla, key bacteria (F. prausnitzii, A. muciniphila), 7 opportunistic pathogenic yeasts, functional groups (butyrate, bile acids, histamine, TMA, phenol, indole, ammonia).
- How it is carried out
- Stool sample, collected at home with a kit.
- Why it matters
- The microbiota influences digestion, immunity, skin and mood: it is the starting point of almost every gut pathway.
- How to prepare
- No antibiotics in the preceding 4 weeks; stop probiotics 2 weeks beforehand.
- Turnaround time
- 12–16 days

- How to prepare
- Keep to your usual diet in the preceding weeks.
- Turnaround time
- 12–16 days
A tool for dietary orientation, not a diagnosis of allergy. True IgE-mediated food allergy requires dedicated testing.

IBS — Irritable bowel syndrome
CHF 395
- Who it is for
- For those with bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea or constipation, and difficult digestion.
- What we analyse
- Microbiota (incl. Candida), neurotransmitters and precursors (tryptophan, histamine), exclusion of digestive disorders (pancreatic elastase, bile acids, calprotectin).
- How it is carried out
- Stool (OmicSnap) + blood.
- Why it matters
- Irritable bowel syndrome is multifactorial (dysbiosis, digestion, barrier function, SIBO): mapping it guides diet and targeted treatment instead of proceeding by trial and error.
- How to prepare
- No antibiotics in the preceding 4 weeks; stop probiotics 2 weeks beforehand.
- Turnaround time
- 14–18 days
