Bowel Screen Check
$115 AUD
Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer globally, with 1 in 13 Australians developing the disease in their lifetime. Early detection is crucial, as 90% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated when identified early.
We’ve combined the FOBT (Faecal Occult Blood Test) and Calprotectin in this bowel screen to provide a more comprehensive assessment of bowel health. While FOBT helps detect hidden blood that may signal polyps, cancer, or other lesions, Calprotectin measures gut inflammation, which can indicate conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Together, these tests give a clearer picture of what’s happening in the bowel and can help guide whether further investigation may be warranted.
What we test
Faecal Occult Blood
This test detects hidden traces of blood in your stool, which may indicate colorectal diseases, including bowel cancer. Conditions such as haemorrhoids and fissures may also cause blood to be present in the stool.
This stool test includes x2 faecal occult blood tests:
Calprotectin
This test measures the level of calprotectin, a protein found in white blood cells, in your stool. Elevated levels can indicate inflammation in the intestines, often associated with conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Gut Health Check
71 tests included
$449 AUD
There are medical explanations and labels for many gut problems, but the big exception is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Since many gut disorders have similar symptoms to IBS, ruling out a more serious underlying gut disease is an important first step.
Parasite PCR Check
13 tests included
$120 AUD
Some gut problems can be a consequence of an undetected gut infection. A significant number of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) cases could actually be due to undiagnosed gut pathogens such as Blastocystis hominis and Dientamoeba fragilis.

32 tests included
$229 AUD
As well as analysing your beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, our comprehensive microbiome test also includes testing for parasites and yeast overgrowth, and also provides an assessment of your digestive markers. This holistic picture provides actionable insights to help you improve your gut health.
