Full Description

The intestinal inflammation and stool acidity package includes testing for calprotectin and gut acidity. Calprotectin is released during intestinal inflammation, and high faecal levels are associated with active inflammatory conditions. Stool pH provides supportive information on gut acidity, which may vary between individuals and may be considered alongside symptoms, clinical history, and other gut health markers.

This test may be useful for individuals with digestive symptoms, irregular bowel habits, known or suspected intestinal inflammation, or those seeking additional information alongside gut microbiome analysis. Results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, medical history, and any additional investigations.

Key Features

  • Tests for faecal calprotectin, a protein biomarker associated with active intestinal inflammation.
  • Measures stool pH to evaluate gut acidity, which may provide supportive information on digestive balance.
  • Can be ordered on its own or as an add-on to Gut Microbiome Testing for a broader overview of intestinal health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I get this test?
This test provides additional information about intestinal inflammation and gut acidity. It may be useful if you have digestive symptoms, irregular bowel habits, suspected gut inflammation, or if you want extra markers to complement your gut microbiome results.
How do I prepare for sample collection?
Follow the stool collection instructions provided with the kit. The sample should be collected cleanly and should not be contaminated with urine, toilet water, disinfectants, or cleaning products. No fasting is required unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.
What is included in the report?
Your report includes the results of faecal calprotectin testing and stool pH assessment, together with information to support discussion with your healthcare provider.
How do I interpret the results?
Results should be interpreted by your doctor or another qualified healthcare professional. Elevated calprotectin may indicate active intestinal inflammation, while stool pH should be considered alongside diet, symptoms, microbiome findings, and other clinical information.
What does IVD mean?
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) tests are medical diagnostic tests that are used for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or medical conditions in humans. In contrast to other, research use only (RUO) tests, IVD tests are regulated by governmental agencies and are required to meet certain performance standards before they can be marketed and sold to the public. Faecal calprotectin is an IVD test.
