Key Markers Tested
- Macroscopy: Stool color, form, mucus, and presence of occult blood.
- Short Chain Fatty Acids: Butyrate, acetate, propionate, and valerate to assess gut health and metabolic function.
- GIT Functional Markers: Calprotectin, Secretory IgA, Pancreatic Elastase, Zonulin, and other key markers to evaluate inflammation, gut permeability, and enzyme function.
- Parasites & Worms: Detection of common parasites and worms like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and Blastocystis hominis.
- Bacterial Pathogens & Viral Pathogens: Identifies harmful bacteria like Helicobacter pylori and viral infections like Norovirus.

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.
