GI Effects Complete Gut Function Panel
GI Effects Complete Gut Function Panel
SKU:GI7
Digestive issues such as bloating, abdominal pain, constipation, or diarrhea may be linked to imbalances in gut health. The GI Effects Test is a comprehensive stool analysis that evaluates digestion, absorption, inflammation, and the balance of gut microbes. It helps uncover the root causes of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms and provides insight into overall gut function.
Why GI Effects Test Matters?
Your gut plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, immunity, and overall well-being. This test identifies imbalances in gut bacteria, signs of inflammation, or poor digestive function. Early detection supports better management of gut-related conditions and helps guide dietary, lifestyle, or therapeutic interventions.

FAQs
What does the GI Effects Test measure?
It evaluates gut health by analysing digestion, absorption, inflammation, microbial balance, and potential pathogens in the stool.
Who should consider this test?
Individuals with ongoing bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, or suspected gut imbalances should get themselves tested for GI Effects.
How is the sample collected?
A stool sample is collected at home following the provided instructions and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Can this test detect leaky gut?
It cannot directly diagnose leaky gut, but inflammatory and digestive markers may indicate related issues.
How are results used?
Results guide personalised interventions, such as dietary changes, probiotics, or medical treatment if pathogens are found.
