Gut Health
The Gut Health bundle listing includes a Bowel Health (FOB/FIT) test, an H. pylori test and a Vitamin D test. These screens look at separate markers; together they are not a complete digestive assessment and cannot diagnose the cause of symptoms.
What these gut health tests can and cannot tell you
A stool blood screen does not diagnose bowel cancer, and a result that does not detect blood cannot rule out bowel disease. An H. pylori screen checks for the marker stated in its leaflet; it does not show whether you have an ulcer. The Vitamin D test is separate from digestive testing. Continue NHS bowel screening when invited and contact your GP about bowel changes, persistent pain, unexplained weight loss or other concerns.
See the Bowel Health Test, H. pylori Test and Vitamin D Test. Read the NHS bowel screening guidance.
Gut Health bundle questions
Does a positive stool test mean bowel cancer?
No. Blood can have several causes. Contact your GP for appropriate follow-up and continue any investigation they recommend.
Will this bundle diagnose an ulcer or explain digestive symptoms?
No. It screens selected markers only. Speak to a GP about persistent or concerning symptoms.
