Overview

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.

What Is a Digestive Health Blood Test?

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.

Who May Consider It

People who want a blood check before, or alongside, seeing their GP.

  • You’ve had digestive symptoms for several weeks and want an initial check
  • You’d prefer to start with a blood test rather than a stool or breath sample
  • Your GP or clinician has suggested a digestive blood check
  • You want results to share at your next GP appointment

Blood, Stool or Breath — Which Gut Health Test?

Different tests answer different questions. This helps you see where a blood test fits.

Test typeWhat it looks atTypically used for
Blood test (this test)Markers circulating in your bloodA first check that can point to whether further tests are worth doing
Stool testWhat’s present in your bowel, such as signs of inflammation or infectionInvestigating bowel symptoms more directly, usually via your GP
Breath testGases you breathe out after a test drinkCertain infections and intolerances, as advised by a clinician

What It Can and Cannot Tell You

Knowing the limits helps you book the right test.

It can

  • Show whether the digestive markers tested are within the reference range
  • Help you and your GP decide on next steps
  • Give you a starting point without a stool or breath sample

It cannot

  • Diagnose IBS, food intolerance or food allergy
  • Replace a stool test, breath test or endoscopy when these are needed
  • Rule out every cause of digestive symptoms

See your GP promptly if you notice blood in your poo, unexplained weight loss, a lasting change in your bowel habits or difficulty swallowing — don’t wait for a private test.

Digestive Health Blood Test FAQs

Quick answers before you book.

Do I need a blood test or a stool test for digestive symptoms?

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.

Can a digestive health blood test diagnose IBS?

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.

Is this a food intolerance or allergy test?

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.

How much does the test cost?

The current price is shown in the booking panel at the top of this page. Your total, including the collection option you choose, is shown before you pay.

What happens if a result is outside the normal range?

An out-of-range result isn’t a diagnosis on its own. Share your results with your GP, who can explain what they mean for you and arrange any further tests you need.

When should I see a doctor instead?

See your GP promptly if you have blood in your poo, unexplained weight loss, a lasting change in your bowel habits or difficulty swallowing. For severe tummy pain, call NHS 111 or, in an emergency, 999.

Great service. I’m not the best with needles, however, Jo made me feel comfortable and at ease which made the whole process much more tolerable. 5 stars from me.
