Why Gut Health Testing is Important

Digestive symptoms like bloating, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, and food intolerances can affect daily life. Identifying the root cause is key to effective treatment. At Health Screening Clinic, we offer targeted laboratory tests to assess gut health, detect infections, inflammation, and imbalances in gut bacteria.

Gut Health Tests We Offer

1. Stool Culture

  • Detects bacterial infections (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, Campylobacter).
  • Useful for acute diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fever, or travel-related illnesses.
  • Sample: Stool.

2. Faecal Calprotectin

  • Measures calprotectin levels to assess intestinal inflammation.
  • Helps differentiate between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
  • Sample: Stool.

3. H. pylori Stool Antigen Test

  • Detects Helicobacter pylori infection, a common cause of gastritis, ulcers, and dyspepsia.
  • Sample: Stool.

4. Coeliac Disease Screening (Blood Test)

  • Blood test to detect antibodies (anti-TTG, EMA) indicative of coeliac disease.
  • Recommended for symptoms like chronic diarrhoea, bloating, fatigue, and unexplained anaemia.
  • Sample: Blood.

Who Should Consider These Tests?

  • Individuals with ongoing bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, or abdominal pain.
