IBS Test - comprehensive digestive / gut health test
The IBS test is an in-depth test that gives you a thorough analysis of your digestive system and intestinal flora. We measure digestive function, digestive residues, bacteria and yeast in the intestinal flora, digestive malabsorption and inflammatory markers. Common imbalances in IBS are, for example, overgrowth of candida, pathogenic bacteria, lack of a healthy bacterial flora, leaky gut or digestive weakness.
Imbalance in the intestinal flora is very common in IBS and impairs the protective function of the intestinal mucosa and our immune system. Many people often say that 60-80% of individuals with IBS also suffer from SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a condition characterized by an excessive bacterial growth. However, experts consider SIBO a secondary disease, usually stemming from other weaknesses in the digestive system. Therefore, experts recommend conducting a thorough analysis of the gut to investigate underlying factors, which this test effectively does.. However, a SIBO test is still a complementary add-on to get an even more comprehensive overview of your gut health.
Who should take the IBS Test?
The IBS test is suitable for you who have IBS or similar stomach problems and so far have not received the right help. It suits you who either have had problems for a long time or have recently started to experience them. The sooner you find the root cause of your problems, the faster you can take action to treat the imbalances you have. If you suffer from IBS, we can recommend that you also test yourself for food intolerances and SIBO. The first step is to remove things that can disturb your gut and intestines, whether it is food you cannot tolerate, overgrowth of bacteria/fungus/yeast, or toxins.
The IBS Test analyses:

13 intestinal flora bacteria
4 yeast
The pH value
Digestive residues (fat, nitrogen, sugar and water)
Secretory IgA
Pancreatic elastase
Bile acids
Alpha-1 antitrypsin
Calprotectin

How does the IBS Test work?
The test is a stool test that is performed at home and then sent to our lab for analysis. After you have placed your order, you will receive a test kit with everything you need to be able to perform the test. You will then receive the answer digitally.

Bacterias

Escherichia coli Biovare is a distinct subspecies of E. coli that is not usually abundant in a healthy human intestine. It encompasses various forms, including haemolytic, mucoid, and lactose-negative types. Elevated levels—particularly in the presence of an alkaline pH and low beneficial E. coli—may indicate weakened mucosal immunity, often associated with reduced secretory IgA production.

Escherichia coli Biovare

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of bacteria that colonises the stomach lining and is known for its role in gastrointestinal disorders. It is commonly associated with peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, and an increased risk of stomach cancer. Its ability to thrive in the stomach’s acidic environment makes it a key factor in long-term digestive health.

Helicobacter pylori

Pseudomonas in stool refers to the presence of bacteria from the Pseudomonas genus, most commonly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in the gastrointestinal tract. While not usually a common gut resident, it can cause infection or overgrowth, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems. Its detection may indicate an imbalance in gut microbiota or an underlying condition, especially if gastrointestinal symptoms are present.

Pseudomonas

Proteus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria commonly associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly in individuals with long-term catheter use or compromised immune systems. They can also cause wound infections and, less commonly, respiratory infections. Proteus species are known for their resistance to multiple antibiotics, which can complicate treatment.

Proteus

Streptococcus Group A (Streptococcus pyogenes) is a type of bacteria responsible for a variety of infections, ranging from mild skin conditions and tonsillitis to serious illnesses such as scarlet fever, rheumatic fever, and necrotising fasciitis. Detecting Group A Streptococcus is essential for timely and accurate diagnosis, enabling prompt treatment to prevent complications.

Streptococcus Group A

Hafnia is a genus of bacteria commonly found in the intestinal tract and considered part of the normal gut flora. While generally harmless, its presence in stool may indicate changes in gut microbiota or suggest potential digestive imbalances.

Hafnia

Klebsiella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria found in environments such as soil, water, and the human gut. Certain species, including Klebsiella pneumoniae, can cause serious infections in the lungs, bloodstream, urinary tract, and wounds. These bacteria are notable for their resistance to many antibiotics, making them a significant challenge in healthcare settings.

Klebsiella

Enterobacter is a genus of bacteria commonly found in the human gut. Usually harmless, these bacteria are part of the natural gut flora and contribute to digestive health. However, an overgrowth of Enterobacter can indicate or lead to health problems. Monitoring Enterobacter levels in stool can provide important insights into gut health and assist in diagnosing various conditions.

Enterobacter

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. While most strains are harmless and aid digestion and vitamin production, certain types can cause foodborne illness and gastrointestinal infections.

Escheria coli

Bacteroides spp. are a key group of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, essential for breaking down complex carbohydrates and producing short-chain fatty acids. These functions support colon health, help regulate the immune system, and protect against harmful pathogens.

Bacteriodes

Clostridium is a genus of bacteria that includes species naturally found in the human gut as well as others that can cause illness. These bacteria are notable for their ability to form spores, which allows them to survive in harsh environments. While some Clostridium species contribute to gut health, others, such as Clostridium difficile, can cause serious infections, particularly after antibiotic use disrupts the normal gut flora.

Clostridium

Bifidobacterium is a key genus of beneficial bacteria that primarily inhabit the human gastrointestinal tract. They play an important role in supporting digestion, enhancing immune function, producing essential vitamins, and combating harmful microbes. Maintaining a balanced level of Bifidobacterium is essential for a healthy gut microbiome.

Bifidobacterium

Serratia is a type of bacterium commonly found in the environment and occasionally in the human intestinal tract. While generally harmless in healthy individuals, its presence in stool may be a concern for those with certain health conditions. Detection in stool tests can indicate potential imbalances in gut flora or infections.

Serratia

Enterococcus is a type of bacteria that naturally inhabits the human intestines as part of the normal gut flora. It contributes to aspects of gut health, but excessive growth in stool can indicate microbial imbalance or a possible infection, particularly in individuals with weakened immune systems.

Enterococcus

Lactobacillus is a beneficial bacterium commonly found in the gut and in certain fermented foods. It plays a vital role in supporting digestive health, improving nutrient absorption, and maintaining a balanced immune system.

Lactobacillus

IgM antibodies are the first type of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an acute infection. When IgM against Mycoplasma pneumoniae is present, it typically indicates a recent or ongoing infection. These antibodies appear within 1–2 weeks of exposure and usually decline after a few months. Testing for IgM is useful in identifying the early phase of a Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, especially in symptomatic individuals.

IgM antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae

IgG antibodies are produced later in the immune response and typically indicate previous exposure to Mycoplasma pneumoniae. They usually appear 2–3 weeks after the onset of infection and can remain detectable for months or even years. A positive IgG result does not necessarily signify an active infection but demonstrates that the immune system has encountered the pathogen before. When tested alongside IgM, IgG helps distinguish between acute, recent, and past infections.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
