Gut Health Testing – Private Stool & Microbiome Analysis in Cheshire

Struggling With Bloating, IBS, or Gut Problems That Won’t Go Away?

If you’ve been told your tests are “normal” but still feel uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Many patients live with bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea, or unpredictable digestion without clear answers. Our private gut health testing goes deeper, uncovering issues that standard checks often miss.

What Is Gut Health Testing?

Gut health testing uses advanced stool and microbiome analysis to look at the balance of bacteria, yeast, and other organisms in your digestive system. It can reveal:

Hidden infections or parasites
Imbalances in your microbiome (dysbiosis)
Signs of leaky gut or inflammation
Problems with digestion and absorption

By identifying these root causes, we can explain why you’re experiencing persistent gut symptoms — and more importantly, what to do about them.

What Symptoms Can It Help With?

Gut health testing may be helpful if you experience:

Frequent bloating or abdominal pain
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) symptoms
Reflux or heartburn
Constipation or diarrhoea
Unexplained food intolerances
Skin problems (eczema, acne, rosacea)
Low energy, brain fog, or poor immunity
