Digestive Testing

Digestive testing provides important information about the state of your digestive health and is a sensible place to check when your health is struggling or if you are suffering from digestive symptoms

After qualifying over 21 years ago and lecturing in digestive health and digestive testing Emma Wells consultant to Smart Nutrition Ltd has researched the top accredited UK laboratories and digestive tests to offer you a broad range of accurate and scientific digestive health tests.

A stool test can assess

  • Whether food breaks down into usable substances
  • Whether you absorb certain nutrients
  • Whether you properly eliminate waste.
  • Levels of good and bad bacteria (gut flora)
  • Levels of yeasts such as candida
  • Levels of digestive enzymes and stomach acid
  • Check for presence of parasites
  • Check the immune system within your gut
  • Check for the difference between Inflammatory bowel disease or Irritable bowel syndrome.

 

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions digestive testing may be right for you.

  1. Do you have Irritable bowel syndrome?
  2. Do you frequently experience indigestion?
  3. Do you suffer from constipation?
  4. Do you often have unexplained diarrhea?
  5. Do you experience gas and bloating?

US Custom changes Aug 29 2025

Every US shipment, regardless of value or content, must now undergo full entry with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Our lab partners are working hard to reduce the impact of these new customs procedures on returning US bound test samples.

Unfortunately this change may impact your test results turnaround time

  • Transit times may be longer due to increased customs processing.

  • Samples may be delayed or held while clearance is completed.

If you have already sent back your sample and it is directly affected by these customs delays, our team will contact you individually to advise on the next steps.

We know how vital timely testing is for you and we greatly value your understanding while these changes take effect.

We expect the situation to improve as customs processes adjust, and we will provide updates as this develops.

Please do not return samples to the laboratories that may arrive after Wednesday 27th March and up to and including Monday 2nd April.

The laboratories are closed from the 28th March – 2nd April for the Easter Holiday.
