IBS Test
GetTested’s IBS test is an in-depth gastrointestinal test that analyses the intestinal flora (bacteria and yeast), digestive function such as pancreatic elastase, bile acids, digestive residues, as well as alpha-1 antitrypsin, calprotectin and secretory IgA. The IBS Test is suitable for you who wish to make a thorough examination of your gut, as many of our health problems arise from imbalances in our gut.
If you’re dealing with IBS, consider combining this with our SIBO Test to further investigate potential root causes of your symptoms.

IBS Test - comprehensive digestive / gut health test
The IBS test is an in-depth test that gives you a thorough analysis of your digestive system and intestinal flora. We measure digestive function, digestive residues, bacteria and yeast in the intestinal flora, digestive malabsorption and inflammatory markers. Common imbalances in IBS are, for example, overgrowth of candida, pathogenic bacteria, lack of a healthy bacterial flora, leaky gut or digestive weakness.
Imbalance in the intestinal flora is very common in IBS and impairs the protective function of the intestinal mucosa and our immune system. Many people often say that 60-80% of individuals with IBS also suffer from SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a condition characterized by an excessive bacterial growth. However, experts consider SIBO a secondary disease, usually stemming from other weaknesses in the digestive system. Therefore, experts recommend conducting a thorough analysis of the gut to investigate underlying factors, which this test effectively does.. However, a SIBO test is still a complementary add-on to get an even more comprehensive overview of your gut health.
Who should take the IBS Test?
The IBS test is suitable for you who have IBS or similar stomach problems and so far have not received the right help. It suits you who either have had problems for a long time or have recently started to experience them. The sooner you find the root cause of your problems, the faster you can take action to treat the imbalances you have. If you suffer from IBS, we can recommend that you also test yourself for food intolerances and SIBO. The first step is to remove things that can disturb your gut and intestines, whether it is food you cannot tolerate, overgrowth of bacteria/fungus/yeast, or toxins.
The IBS Test analyses:
- 13 intestinal flora bacteria
- 4 yeast
- The pH value
- Digestive residues (fat, nitrogen, sugar and water)
- Secretory IgA
- Pancreatic elastase
- Bile acids
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin
- Calprotectin
How does the IBS Test work?
The test is a stool test that is performed at home and then sent to our lab for analysis. After you have placed your order, you will receive a test kit with everything you need to be able to perform the test. You will then receive the answer digitally.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

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.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
