Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT) General DescriptionThe Microbial Organic Acids Test (MOAT) is included in the Organic Acids Test (OAT)and primarily shows metabolites produced by yeast and bacteria. The additional indicators are also yeast and bacteria metabolites. At lower test values, they are related to yeast or bacterial dysbiosis. Higher test values can indicate a rare genetic condition. The MOAT is ideal for follow-up to the OAT and may be recommended by practitioners looking for a specific abnormality, to monitor certain microbial balances, or to assess treatment efficacy. We strongly recommend the OAT as the initial screening test. This test reports 21 components (including Creatinine) such as markers for beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria, Clostridia species, Candida species, other yeast and fungal metabolites, and general markers of dysbiosis. Testimonials"I like the work of The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc., and the book and conferences by Dr. Shaw. I have sent samples of my patients (names omitted) for detection of organic acids and morphine peptides in urine and now they are improving greatly with the results you have recommended." – Pediatrician from Barcelona, Spain
“Within a few weeks of starting treatment for the yeast and bacterial problems I started feeling better than I had felt in years.” – Email to Dr. Shaw from the Director at the Fibromyalgia Coalition International Analyte ListYeast/Fungal metabolites: Citramalic, 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-Furoic, 3-Oxoglutaric, Furan-2,5-Dicarboxylic, Furancarbonylglycine, Tartaric, Arabinose, Carboxycitric;Bacterial metabolites: 2-Hydroxyphenylacetic, 4-Hydroxyphenylacetic, 4-Hydroxybenzoic, 4-Hydroxyhyppuric, HPHPA (Clostridia marker), DHPPA (beneficial bacteria marker); Additional indicators: Hippuric, 3-Indoleacetic, 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaric, 2-Hydroxyhippuric; Indicator of fluid
