Our SIBO Test is often paired with the Gut Microbiome XL Test, providing a thorough analysis of your gut health.

Stool Tests
GetTested’s Gut Microbiome Test Large is ideal for those who want a comprehensive overview of your gut health. Many health problems arise from imbalances in our gut and this test is an in-depth analysis of your gut by measuring the presence of bacteria, yeast, the pH of the stool and digestive functions, such as pancreatic elastase, bile acids, digestive residues, as well as alpha-1 antitrypsin, calprotectin and secretory IgA.
If you’re dealing with IBS, consider combining this with our SIBO Test to further investigate potential root causes of your symptoms.

Lab Test
Stool Tests
GetTested’s Peptic ulcer test tests for antigen against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the stool. H. pylori is a bacterium that can be found in the lining of the stomach. An infection with H. pylori can lead to gastritis of varying severity. However, most people with an H. pylori infection do not experience any symptoms at all. About 5% of those infected develop peptic ulcers, which is the only condition that requires medical treatment of the infection.
Alongside testing for H. pylori, if you’re experiencing stomach discomfort, our SIBO Test might also be beneficial to consider, as symptoms like abdominal pain can also stem from conditions such as SIBO.
Rapid Test
Blood Tests
Experience the simplicity of tracking your gluten sensitivity using GetTested’s Celiac / Gluten Intolerance Rapid Test. Crafted for both convenience and precision, this at-home test pinpoints potential celiac disease, enabling you to manage your health proactively. Should your symptoms not align with celiac disease, they could be attributed to an allergic reaction or a food intolerance to wheat instead.
