The Digestive Health Panel is a comprehensive blood test specifically designed to evaluate the health and function of your digestive system and identify underlying causes of gastrointestinal symptoms. This extensive screening assesses liver function, pancreatic ensymes, nutritional absorption markers, inflammation indicators, immune responses, and coeliac disease screening—all critical components that impact digestive health, nutrient absorption, and overall wellbeing. Digestive disorders affect millions of people and can significantly impact quality of life, energy levels, nutritional status, and long-term health. Many digestive conditions remain undiagnosed for years, leading to chronic symptoms, malnutrition, and complications. This comprehensive panel provides crucial insights into digestive organ function, absorption capacity, and potential underlying conditions affecting your gastrointestinal health.

A blood-based first step for ongoing gut symptoms.
If you’ve been living with bloating, tummy discomfort or changes in your digestion for a while, a digestive health blood test is a simple way to start looking for answers. It checks a set of digestive health markers from one blood sample, so you can take clearer information to your GP.
It’s a starting point rather than a full gut investigation. Depending on your symptoms and results, your GP may also suggest a stool test, a breath test or a referral.
People who want a blood check before, or alongside, seeing their GP.
Different tests answer different questions. This helps you see where a blood test fits.
| Test type | What it looks at | Typically used for |
|---|---|---|
| Blood test (this test) | Markers circulating in your blood | A first check that can point to whether further tests are worth doing |
| Stool test | What’s present in your bowel, such as signs of inflammation or infection | Investigating bowel symptoms more directly, usually via your GP |
| Breath test | Gases you breathe out after a test drink | Certain infections and intolerances, as advised by a clinician |
Knowing the limits helps you book the right test.

It depends on what you want to find out. A blood test looks at markers in your blood and can be a useful first step. A stool test looks at what’s happening in the bowel itself. Your GP may recommend one, the other or both.
No. There isn’t a blood test that diagnoses IBS. Doctors usually diagnose IBS from your symptoms after ruling out other causes, and blood tests can be part of that process.
No. This test isn’t designed to diagnose food intolerance or food allergy. If you think you have a food allergy, speak to your GP.
