What is Gut Testing?

Suffering from gut problems like food sensitivity, bloating, pain, gas or irregular bowel movements? Gut health is a central indicator of our well being and the underlying cause of many health issues. Let’s make your gut well again.

Gut health plays such a central part in our wellness, as it affects our immune system, skin, nervous system, brain health, and pretty much every other bodily system. The gut is home to trillions of bacteria but is also root of many people’s health problems. Gut problems include:

​

• heartburn

• swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)

• chest pain

• stomach pain

• abdominal pain

• bloating

• nausea

• constipation

• diarrhoea

• difficult defecation

• incontinence

If you have any of these symptoms you may also suffer from nutritional, skin and psychological problems.

Diagnosing the specific cause of these symptoms through pathologic testing allows us to treat your problem effectively and help to get your gut functioning properly again.

How does testing work?

Call the testing lab recommended by us who will post out an at-home sample kit within 48 hours. Samples are collected in the privacy of your own home, then you send this to the pathology lab. Results are sent directly to Aurora at High Street Natural Health. We will then dicsuss the results of your test with you at your next consultation and decide on the best treatment plan for you.

What tests are available?

A wide range of tests can be performed including a complete digestive stool analysis (CDSA), 3 day parasitology, intestinal permeability and functional liver detoxification profile. The test required depends on your symptoms- we will decide the best testing form together.
