Discover GutDetective®…
GutDetective is a comprehensive stool biomarker panel used by practitioners to investigate key areas of gut health, including inflammation, digestive enzyme production and intestinal permeability. This noninvasive testing solution helps identify underlying imbalances and supports targeted, personalised treatment plans.
GutDetective combines multiple functional stool markers into a single, convenient panel. It provides a detailed picture of a patient’s digestive health, helping to uncover potential causes of persistent symptoms that may not show up on routine tests.
Each test is CE-marked and lab-analysed, ensuring trusted clinical accuracy. It’s an ideal tool for practitioners specialising in nutrition, gut health, functional medicine, or integrative care.
What does GutDetective measure?
Identifies gut-specific inflammation and helps differentiate IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Useful for monitoring flare-ups or treatment progress.
Assesses digestive enzyme production. Low levels may indicate pancreatic insufficiency, leading to nutrient malabsorption and symptoms like bloating, gas, and weight loss.
A marker of intestinal permeability (commonly known as ‘leaky gut’). Elevated levels may point to inflammation, immune activation, or barrier dysfunction.
Assess mucosal immunity, detect dysbiosis, and identify compromised gut barrier function (leaky gut). This insight is crucial for addressing immune dysregulation, chronic inflammation, and supporting immune tolerance. Action required at elevated and low levels.

This test is not designed to diagnose coeliac disease; however, it may indicate elevated Calprotectin levels, which are characteristic of inflammation in the gut and are associated with coeliac disease. We recommend you seek advice from your GP, who can arrange for you to be tested for coeliac disease.
