About the Gut Health Plus

For tummy trouble that has gone on too long. Gut Health Plus brings together the tests a doctor reaches for first with bloating, indigestion, upper abdominal pain or a change in bowel habit: a liver function test, the pancreas enzymes amylase and lipase, a routine stool analysis, the H. pylori stool antigen test for the bacterium behind most stomach ulcers, a blood count and CRP for inflammation, and faecal calprotectin, the stool test that tells inflammation of the bowel apart from irritable bowel syndrome.

Read by a doctor. A GP goes through every result with you, checks your blood pressure and BMI, and advises on treatment or anything worth following up.

No referral and no insurance needed. Pick up a stool container from the clinic (or at your blood test) and bring the sample back the same day.

With the doctor

General Consultation

20% off a specialist Internal Medicine consultation with any health package.

How the test is done

  1. Book the package

    Book online or on WhatsApp, and pay online or at the clinic.

  2. Collect a stool sample

    Take a sample container home from the clinic and bring the sample back the same day. Avoid antibiotics for 4 weeks and acid-reducing medicines for 2 weeks before, if you can.

  3. Blood test

    A quick blood sample at the clinic, any morning, with no appointment needed. No fasting is required for these tests.

  4. Results

    Usually within a few days; calprotectin can take up to a week. You get a WhatsApp message when they are ready.

  5. Doctor's review

    A GP goes through every result with you and agrees what happens next.

Who it suits

Anyone with ongoing bloating, diarrhoea, tummy pain or a change in bowel habit who wants to know whether the bowel is inflamed, as well as checking for H. pylori, parasites and the liver and pancreas.

How booking works

Walk in during opening hours — no appointment and no referral. You can also pay online first and come in whenever suits you, or message us on WhatsApp if you would rather ask something before you do.
