FUNCTIONAL GUT TESTING

Why Functional Gut Testing Matters

Functional gut testing is a powerful tool for identifying the underlying causes of digestive imbalances and chronic symptoms. When paired with your health history, diet, lifestyle and goals, it enables a highly personalised approach to treatment - accelerating results and supporting long-term wellness.

No more guesswork. Just clear, targeted insights into what your body needs to heal and thrive.

Almost everyone can gain valuable insights from a gut health testing but it is especially beneficial for:

🔍 Chronic Digestive Issues:

If you’ve tried everything and still experience symptoms like bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, or reflux, functional testing can identify the missing root causes that conventional testing often misses.

🧬 Unexplained Chronic Illness:

Ideal for those dealing with long-term symptoms without a clear diagnosis or effective treatment.

🌿 Proactive Wellness:

Even without obvious symptoms, functional gut testing can guide those wanting to optimise health, prevent future issues, and enhance vitality.

We offer a comprehensive range of functional health tests to help uncover the underlying causes of persistent symptoms and chronic health issues.

Our most commonly used assessments include:

• MetaXplore GI Plus – A complete functional gut microbiome analysis

• SIBO Breath Test – To detect bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine

These tests are non-invasive and typically require only a stool, saliva, urine, or breath sample — most of which can be conveniently collected from the comfort of your home. In some cases, a brief visit to a collection centre may be required.
