The SIBO test can be done either in one of our clinic locations or the test can be performed at home using a home testing kit.

Cold can lead to a variety of digestive issues. If you've noticed that your stomach is more sensitive or you experience discomfort more frequently during the colder months, you're not alone.

The cold weather makes outdoor activities less inviting, and many of us become more sedentary during winter. Lack of exercise slows down your metabolism and digestion, making it harder for your body to break down food properly.

During the winter months, the immune system can be weaker due to the lack of sunlight and vitamin D. This can make your body more susceptible to infections that impact the digestive system, like stomach viruses or foodborne illnesses. When the immune system is compromised, it may struggle to protect the digestive tract from harmful bacteria or viruses.

Poor gut health can lead to some unpleasant, short-term symptoms that impact day-to-day activities.

For example, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a condition that can affect up to 10% of the population, impacts the colon with persistent symptoms like:

Abdominal pain
Bloating
Diarrhea or constipation
Excessive gas
Mucus in stool

While IBS has no known specific cause, excessive stress and poor diet may contribute to these symptoms.

On a more extreme scale, poor gut health can lead to more serious conditions.

Acid Reflux Remedies or solutions would include reducing spicy food, chocolate, caffeine, and fatty foods which can impact the valve at the top of your stomach. Eating small regular meals can help to reduce stomach pressure and therefore help to reduce reflux entering your food pipe from your stomach. Once again there are over the counter options such as antacids that can provide fast relief for mild symptoms of heartburn.
Elevating the head of your bed at night and not eating too close to bedtime can help prevent nighttime reflux.

A faecal calprotectin test can be used to identify if the symptoms are associated with an inflammatory bowel condition.

When inflammation occurs, calprotectin is activated. The higher the degree of inflammation, the higher the concentration of calprotectin.

A Faecal Calprotectin test can be performed in the comfort of your own home with no fasting requirement. The test is suitable for both adults and children.

Helicobacter Pylori is a very common infection (present in up to 50% of the population) that is thought to be a factor in the development of stomach and duodenal ulcers (peptic ulcers). It is a bacterium that causes chronic gastritis (inflammation) of the stomach lining. Symptoms of peptic ulcers include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain/discomfort. Some ulcers may bleed which can cause fatigue.

The bacteria can survive because it can pe*****te the stomach lining and produce by-products that neutralise the gastric acid around it, thereby creating a protective environment. When a Helicobacter Pylori breath test is performed, the tablet that is consumed contains Urea. The bacteria breaks this Urea down releasing a carbon atom. The breath test can measure this carbon for the presence of Helicobacter Pylori through the collection of breath samples which are then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
