Can Gutology help you?

Fed up with prescription after prescription & frustrated at a 'one size fits all' approach?

  • Acidity

    You frequently experience a burning sensation in your throat after eating or between meals.

  • PPi's

    You don't want to be taking antacids or PPI's long term because you're worried about the side effects.

  • Fatigue

    Symptoms may impact your sleep and you may not be absorbing nutrients - leading to deficiencies.

  • Bloating

    Bloating is a sign of an imbalance in the gut, often caused by low digestive capacity or dysbiosis in the gut.

  • Food sensitivities

    You find that certain foods like tomatoes & garlic trigger your symptoms but don't affect other people in the same way.

  • Existing diagnosis

    You've been diagnosed with hiatal hernia, esophagitis or GERD and want more natural approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does stool testing help with Reflux/GERD

Stool testing can detect upper digestive issues such as low enzyme production. We can also explore any microbial imbalances which can be a driver of reflux and GERD symptoms.

What if I have a Hiatal Hernia?

Stool testing can detect why this has developed in the first place and we can work with you to control those symptoms with targeted diet & supplements.

Is it possible to come off PPI's?

With dietary interventions. practitioner support & supplements (based on your data) we see many clients being able to wean off their PPI medication.

Will I have any support while I follow the recommendations?

Gutology has a great Nutritionist support team who can assist you with your queries and questions throughout your journey.

Will my GP be informed about my test results?

Not necessarily. Practitioners use a holistic approach (diet, lifestyle, and supplement protocols) to target the root issues. Having said this, if we find elevated “red flag” markers, we will liaise with your GP to organise further tests and investigations.

Is there any medication that would affect testing?

It is not recommended to change or stop any prescribed or regular medications or supplements without seeking advice from a qualified medical professional. Some medications are known to have an impact on the test results and we'll advise you on this before you take your test.

Is testing suitable for children?

Microbiome testing is suitable from 2 years of age, as by that time the microbiome is fully developed.

How long does it take for my results to come back?

The turnaround time for the test results is a maximum of 15 working days.

I recently had a colonoscopy. How long do I need to wait until I can do the test?

Generally speaking it is best to wait at least 4 weeks following colonoscopy to let the gut settle after the procedure.

How long will I have access to my documents and support?

As long as you require. We normally advise to be consistent with your protocol and necessary follow ups, so we can provide the best support and speed up the healing process.
