Can a gut health test detect food intolerances or allergies?
No. The Gut Health Test analyses your gut bacteria and what they produce. It does not test for food intolerances or allergic reactions.
The Gut Health Test is not designed to detect food intolerances or allergies. It does not measure your immune response to specific foods or identify substances your body reacts to. If you are looking to test for food allergies or intolerances, a separate allergy or sensitivity test would be more appropriate.
That said, your gut microbiome results do include an allergy-related insight. It will show whether your gut has high levels of histamine-producing bacteria. An overgrowth of these bacteria can contribute to allergy-like symptoms, so while it is not a direct allergy test, it can still give you useful context about what may be going on in your gut.

GUT Health
Gut Health Test (GHT) is a gut microbiome test that analyses the bacteria living in your digestive system from a stool sample. It shows how those bacteria may be affecting your digestion, energy, mood, heart, and metabolism. You get a personalised report of 20+ pages that explains your results in plain language, plus food and probiotic recommendations based on your gut profile.
What is a gut microbiome test?
Your gut contains trillions of bacteria, and together they are called the gut microbiome. These bacteria do much more than digest food. They help make vitamins, produce chemicals that affect mood and sleep, protect your gut lining, and influence how your body handles sugar and fat. Two people can eat the same meal and have very different blood sugar responses because their gut bacteria are different.
A gut microbiome test identifies which bacteria are in your gut and how much of each there is. From that, it estimates what your gut is doing well and where it may need support. It is not a scan or a blood test. It looks at your digestive system's "ecosystem."
Who should take a gut health test?
This test is a good fit if you:
Often feel bloated or gassy, or have irregular bowel movements (constipation or diarrhoea)
Feel tired even with enough sleep, or notice that your energy and mood are up and down
Want to know which foods actually suit your body before changing your diet or buying probiotics
Have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, or colon problems and want to take a preventive step
Are already health-conscious and want to track your progress (re-testing every 3–6 months is recommended)
