Priced above most peers in this H. pylori group

Microbiome test bundled with a 3-month supplement supply
A bundle combining an at-home stool microbiome test with three months' supply of Stride's daily pre- and probiotic supplement. Suits people who want both a gut health readout and an ongoing supplement in one purchase.
Stride's standalone gut microbiome test
An at-home stool test analysing your gut microbiome, covering bacterial diversity, digestive markers and gut-brain-related pathways. Suits people wanting a detailed one-off look at gut bacteria balance.
DNA gut test that doesn't publish a biomarker count

Three-in-one gut bundle with no published marker count
A bundle of three separate at-home tests covering food intolerance, gut microbiome balance and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), aimed at giving a wider picture of gut health.
Priciest H. pylori test we track; others start at £10

Priced above median for similar gut health tests we track
A stool test that looks for parasites and other infectious organisms, examining the sample under a microscope and by culture.
Fastest Better2Know coeliac screen, priced above most peers
Screens for coeliac disease and gluten sensitivity from a single blood marker, with results back in two working days. Suits people who want a faster result than Better2Know's other coeliac screens.
Specific coeliac marker; needs gluten in your diet first
Measures IgA endomysial antibodies, described by Better2Know as a highly specific marker for coeliac disease, from a blood sample. Suits people with digestive symptoms who can keep eating gluten in the run-up to testing.
Multi-sample lactose test priced well above typical
Measures your blood glucose response after a lactose drink, taken across several samples in one appointment, to look into dairy-related digestive symptoms.
Nearly triple the median price for one coeliac marker
Tests for a coeliac disease marker from a blood sample. Despite the name, Better2Know's own description discusses tissue transglutaminase (TTA) antibody testing rather than a distinct genetic method.
Most expensive test in its coeliac comparison group
A single-marker blood screen for coeliac disease from Better2Know, with results in around 10 working days. Suits people who want a basic check without paying for a wider panel.
