Digestion & Gut Health

Good gut health is critical to every aspect of our health which is why I'm so passionate about it. From digestion to immunity, hormones to mental well-being, it all starts with your gut.

Do you suffer from bloating, reflux, food intolerances, histamine intolerance, abdominal pain, constipation, loose stools or diarrhoea? Have you been told you have IBS? Have you been diagnosed with a life -long sentence of IBD with the only option long term medication or surgery? Or told you have a parasite without doing any testing prior? Do you have a range of gut issues and don’t have an answer to them at all? Let’s get to the bottom of it (pun intended) With the right testing and support, it is possible to be symptom-free.

I understand the frustration of investing your hard-earned money in supplements, hoping for relief, only to end up with mixed results. It's a cycle that needs to be broken. That's why, with every gut client, I prioritise testing over guessing.

By delving deep into the intricacies of your gut through comprehensive testing, we can uncover the exact nature of what's going on inside. No more throwing random supplements at the problem and hoping for the best. Together, we'll embark on a journey of discovery, leaving no stone unturned.

Functional Gut Testing

We use advanced stool testing to get a clear picture of what’s actually going on in your gut. Depending on your symptoms and history, we’ll choose the most appropriate test so we’re not guessing

  • GI map microbiome mapping

    The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a targeted, DNA-based stool test that looks at specific bacteria, pathogens and key gut markers from a single sample.

    It’s particularly useful when we want to dig into more specific gut issues and understand what may be contributing to symptoms on a deeper level.

    It looks at things like:

    • The balance of normal gut bacteria

    • Opportunistic or dysbiotic bacteria

    • Bacterial and viral pathogens

    • Helicobacter pylori and associated virulence factors

    • Fungi and yeast

    • Parasites and worms

    • Markers related to gut integrity

    • Inflammation in the bowel

    • Immune activity in the gut, including response to gluten

    • Beta-glucuronidase activity

    This is one of the main tools we use when we want a more targeted, detailed look at what’s going on.

  • MICROBA

    Microba is a more advanced, broad-spectrum stool test that uses metagenomic sequencing to analyse your gut microbiome in detail.

    Instead of focusing on a small number of microbes, it looks at thousands of different bacterial species and what they’re actually doing, giving us a much bigger picture of your gut environment.

    It looks at things like:

    • The diversity and balance of your gut bacteria

    • Specific bacterial species present in your microbiome

    • Functional pathways (what your bacteria are doing)

    • Short chain fatty acid production

    • Microbial patterns linked to diet and lifestyle

    This gives us a broader understanding of your gut, which can be helpful when we’re looking at overall patterns rather than just specific issues.
