It is an unproven test. It based on the notion of biomarkers for IBS. There have not been any research papers published in peer reviewed medical journals discussing the reliability and efficacy of the test. Furthermore, as of yet, few, if any, reliable biomarkers have been identified for IBS. If you read the scientific information on their website you will note that they claim it is only sensitive for about 50% of IBS suffers which really isn't very good.

The best diagnosis is to see a GI doctor. If you have already been diagnosed by a GI doctor then the test will be a waste of money IMHO
