The Digestive Health Panels assess gut function and food sensitivities through blood markers. It measures indicators of gut permeability (zonulin for leaky gut), inflammation (calprotectin, C-reactive protein), immune response (secretory IgA), pancreatic function (elastase), and IgG antibodies to common foods for sensitivities. It also checks for overgrowth markers like Candida or H. pylori antibodies.
Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.
Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).
Digestive Health Panels are comprehensive blood tests that evaluate gut function, inflammation, and food sensitivities. They help identify issues like leaky gut syndrome, food intolerances, dysbiosis, or impaired digestion, which can affect overall health, nutrient absorption, and immune function. Your doctor may recommend this panel for symptoms such as bloating, irregular bowel movements, fatigue, or skin issues. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.
A marker of intestinal permeability; elevated levels indicate leaky gut.
Measures inflammation in the gut; high levels suggest inflammatory bowel conditions.
Assesses gut immune barrier function; low levels may indicate weakened defenses.
Evaluates pancreatic enzyme production for digestion.
Detects sensitivities to specific foods like gluten, dairy, or nuts.
A general inflammation marker linked to gut health.
Checks for microbial overgrowth or infections.
A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold-top serum tube). No special patient preparation (such as fasting) is needed for standard panels. Simply drink water and eat normally unless otherwise instructed. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.
Elevated zonulin suggests barrier dysfunction, potentially leading to autoimmune conditions.
IgG responses identify intolerances that may cause chronic symptoms.
High calprotectin or CRP indicates gut irritation; antibodies flag overgrowth.
Low elastase may point to pancreatic issues affecting nutrient breakdown.
Used to track responses to probiotics, elimination diets, or anti-inflammatory therapies. The panels provide an overall snapshot of gut health and often lead to more specific follow-up tests if abnormalities are found.
Bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain.
Unexplained rashes, headaches, or joint pain after eating.
Poor absorption due to leaky gut or inflammation.
monitoring for links to gut permeability. For example, a patient with persistent bloating may have elevated IgG to dairy on the panel. Similarly, someone with fatigue might have high zonulin indicating leaky gut. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

Digestive Health Panels are blood tests that measure markers related to gut function, inflammation, and food sensitivities, including zonulin, IgG antibodies, and calprotectin. They provide insights into digestive and immune health.
These panels are often ordered for symptoms like bloating, irregular bowels, or fatigue, or to check for food intolerances and gut issues that affect overall wellness.
No special preparation is usually required. You can eat and drink normally. If the test is part of multiple panels (some require fasting), your provider will advise you.
A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a needle. It is quick (often under 5 minutes) and routine. You may feel a brief pinch; afterwards, a bandage is applied. There are minimal risks.
Risks are very low. You might experience slight pain or bruising at the needle site, which usually resolves quickly. In rare cases, a small bruise or feeling faint can occur.
Results are typically available within 2–3 working days. Swift Blood Tests provides a detailed doctor’s report explaining your results. You will be notified by email or phone as agreed.
es. Swift Blood Tests offers a convenient home sample collection kit (finger-prick or small tube) with instructions, or you can choose a clinic appointment. Follow the included instructions to collect and return the sample by post.
Recent infections, medications, or diet can influence markers like CRP or IgG. It’s best to mention any current health conditions or medicines when you discuss results with the doctor.
An abnormal result does not always mean disease. For example, high zonulin might indicate leaky gut from stress or diet. Elevated IgG could suggest food sensitivities. Your doctor will interpret any out-of-range values and may recommend follow-up tests (e.g. stool analysis) to find the cause.
This test is intended for adults (18+). Children’s normal values differ from adults. If testing is needed for a child or teenager, please consult with a paediatric specialist or contact us for guidance.
