About this test

The Complete Gut Health Test & Symptom Screen measures 11 markers across a stool and blood sample: faecal immunochemical testing for blood in the stool, faecal calprotectin for gut inflammation, a Helicobacter pylori stool antigen, PCR tests for five common gut bacteria and parasites, tissue transglutaminase IgA for coeliac antibodies, and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Selph says the marker selection follows guidelines from the British Society of Gastroenterology for investigating gut symptoms.

There is no comparison group of similar combined panels in our data yet, so we cannot say how its £319 price or 11 markers compare with direct competitors. Within Selph's own range, it groups together markers that are also sold individually or in smaller combinations, such as the Calprotectin Test (£83) and Coeliac Disease Blood Test (£63).

Its Clinical Depth score is high, placing it in the 90th percentile of the wider set of gut health tests we track, and Trust Signals and clarity and documentation also score well. value for money scores more moderately, reflecting the lack of a comparison group to benchmark the £319 price against rather than any specific overpricing.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you have ongoing gut symptoms and want one combined test covering several possible causes, including infection, inflammation and coeliac antibodies, rather than ordering separate panels. If you already suspect one specific cause, for example thyroid symptoms alone or a possible H. pylori infection, a single-purpose Selph test such as the Advanced Thyroid Test (£87) or Helicobacter pylori Test (£93) would cost less.

How it works

You collect a stool sample and a blood sample (finger-prick or venous) at home and post them to the lab, or arrange a clinic or nurse visit for the blood component. A Selph doctor reviews the combined results and provides a written report, typically within 3 to 4 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Combines 11 markers across stool and blood in a single order, covering infection, inflammation, coeliac antibodies and thyroid function.
  • Selph says the panel selection follows British Society of Gastroenterology guidelines.
  • Results reviewed by a doctor within 3 to 4 days.

Cons

  • No comparable combined panels in our data yet, so its £319 price cannot be benchmarked against direct competitors.
  • Costs more than ordering some of the same markers separately, such as the Calprotectin Test (£83) or Coeliac Disease Blood Test (£63).
