Digestive symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, or a diagnosis of IBS are often a sign that something deeper is going on within the gut.
Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, this test is designed to explore the underlying patterns that may be driving digestive imbalance.
Because the gut is closely connected to immune function, energy, skin health and even mood, imbalances here can also show up in less obvious or seemingly unrelated ways.
This comprehensive stool analysis provides a detailed overview of gut function and microbial balance, including:
- How effectively you are digesting and absorbing nutrients
- Levels of intestinal inflammation
- Balance between beneficial and pathogenic bacteria
- Presence of yeast overgrowth
- Potential parasitic or microbial imbalances
The test is completed at home using a simple stool collection kit, which is sent directly to you with clear instructions.
Once your sample is returned to the laboratory, results are typically available within approximately three weeks. These are then reviewed and shared with you securely via your Practice Better portal.
Understanding what is happening within the gut allows us to move beyond trial-and-error approaches and instead identify where support is truly needed.
This creates a clearer, more targeted path forward—helping to address the root contributors to symptoms and supporting wider aspects of health, including energy, immunity, skin, and overall wellbeing.
This often has a wider positive impact on energy, immunity, skin, mood, and overall wellbeing.
