A food sensitivity*, (or maybe you know it as a food intolerance?)...
is an adverse reaction to certain foods we eat. This reaction is directly measured by analysing an antibody called Immunoglobulin G, or IgG, which is in association with an immune response. The reason for this may be due to microbiome imbalances, which can also lead to compromised gut linings, which can result in leaky gut. This means larger undigested particles enter the bloodstream and are attacked by our immune system. The breakdown process of this response results in inflammation that manifests in many different ways.
Food Sensitivity Testing involves analysing your body’s response to various foods to identify which ones may cause these adverse reactions. Our comprehensive lab testing can help discover other root causes of many digestive issues.
We cover a broad spectrum of sensitivities, testing against 100 or 210 different foods, depending on the test chosen.
Click an option below to see what food sensitivities we test for:
100 foods OR 210 foods -
FS symptoms can include:

Our Food Sensitivity test is a simple home to laboratory finger prick testing service, where we will either take the sample in clinic or ship your testing kit direct to your home and ship the sample directly back to YourGutMap’s UK based laboratory.
Check out the instructional video by clicking here.
The test requires a small sample of your blood, which is then examined for specific antibodies or other markers that indicate a reaction to certain foods.
The 210 food test also includes a hs-CRP test: This measures the concentration of high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. This test is used to primarily to asses the presence of low grade inflammation, which may be indicative of various conditions including cardiovascular diseases, infections, and autoimmune disorders. -
Say goodbye to bloating, headaches, fatigue and other discomforts!

GUT Microbiome & Microbiome Plus Testing
Price: £300 (OR £370 for Plus).
-
Addressing our microbiome imbalances can help reduce associated health conditions such as, IBS*** , IBD, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases and food sensitivities. This is due to imbalancing causing our bad bacteria to eat away at the mucosal (intestinal) lining of our gut. This leads to the breakdown of the structural integrity of our digestive system and causes bad bacteria, pathogens, viruses, toxins and undigested food proteins to enter the bloodstream. This puts additional strain on our immune system and could cause chronic health conditions in later life if not corrected.
Gut Microbiome testing analyses the types of bacteria present in your gut to understand its current state and health. The 'Microbiome Plus' includes additional analysis for a more comprehensive view. -
These tests involve submitting a stool sample that is then analysed in a lab. The analysis focuses on identifying the diversity and types of bacteria present.
Our Microbiome test is an easy to do home to laboratory testing service, where the kit is shipped direct to you and you conduct the testing in the comfort of your own home (or in clinic, at your appointment). The test is a simple at home stool swab where the sample is collected using toilet roll. Easy right?Highlights include:
Simple at home stool sample swab
Register your kit online
Complete a simple 3 minute health quiz online
Post in any UK red letter box with the supplied Pre paid return envelope

DNA Genetics Health Testing
Price: £300.
-
Our DNA is what makes us who we are. It is a library of instructions that provides the blueprint for our body’s development, functioning and growth of organisms.
Our genetics can play a vital role in our overall health and wellbeing, but are not your destiny!
Let's think of this as Nature vs Nurture, life's biggest challenge.What can we do personally to try and work with our body to prevent longer term health conditions?
I am sure if you were told how to avoid this you would do it, right? Well DNA is the answer to this first instructional step to understanding your body’s fundamentals.Understanding our genetic predispositions can be a crucial aid in understanding how we can manage our health on a day to day basis; but if we were able to adopt better habits and integrate them into our way of living it would allow us to keep our mutated genes at bay. Mutated genes are those that may have a negative impact on our health.
A useful analogy is that of a lightbulb switching on and off. Turning a light switch on represents the activation or expression of a gene, while turning it off represents the suppression or inhibition of gene expression.
Genes being activated or repressed in response to changing conditions, means we have the ability to adopt lifestyle changes that essentially keep that lightbulb switched off and the mutated gene would never turn on, thus avoiding the negative effects. For example a mutated COMT gene leaves individuals more susceptible to stress meaning if not addressed, could lead to adrenal fatigue, increased inflammation, higher blood pressure and chronic heart disease. However if we were to exercise more, wear less irritable clothing, adopt stress management techniques such as meditation and breathe through situations that make you angry, then the mutated COMT gene remains switched off. Therefore leaving you less susceptible to the health conditions listed prior.
YourGutMap explores your personal genetic profile within the context of 8 elements of health and wellbeing: digestion, metabolism, stress, immunity, nutrients, stimulants, exercise and sleep.

-
A gut parasite is a type of parasite that lives in the gastrointestinal tract of its host, which in this case are humans. Parasites inhabit various parts of the digestive symptom which includes the stomach, small and large intestines and rectum.
Examples of gut parasites include intestinal worms, protozoa and microsporidia. They are typically acquired after the consumption of contaminated food or water, exposure to soil or from surfaces due to poor hygiene. This testing identifies the presence of harmful organisms like parasites, H-Pylori, bad bacteria, and viruses in your digestive system.
Whilst some parasites are harmless, others can cause health problems.One of the most researched and prominent pathogenic bacteria is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) which has been shown to damage tissue in the small intestine.
This test is a complete screen of 22 of the most common parasites, viruses and pathogenic bacteria:
BacteriaHelicobacter pylori, Clostridium difficile, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Salmonella, Yersinia enterocolitica, Campylobacter jejuni/coli, E. coli O157, Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) aar, Enteropathogene E. coli (EPEC) eae, Enterotoxigene E. coli (ETEC) LT, Shiga-Toxin-erzeugende E. coli (STEC) stx2, Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) ipaH

*Food Sensitivity Disclaimer:
A food sensitivity is defined as a food specific IgG response. The reaction is measured through IgG responses to foods to help overcome problems associated with adverse delayed immune reactions to food. Our company does not claim to cure any associated diseases or conditions, and always recommend consulting with a GP before undertaking our testing programmes.

***IBS- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It causes symptoms like stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation. These tend to come and go over time, but can last for days, weeks or months at a time. It's usually a lifelong problem, can be very frustrating to live with and can have a big impact on your everyday life.
