If you already know what test you're looking for, complete our self-referral form to book your test.
Alternatively, get in touch and share your symptoms, health history and goals - and we'll give you our tailored recommendations.
(If you’re already under the care of another healthcare professional, they can also refer you to us.)
Depending on the test, you’ll receive your at-home kit within 2-3 days, or you’ll be sent a link to book an appointment at your nearest clinic.
Within 1-2 weeks, you’ll receive your test results, along with a detailed report from one of our clinicians with personalised recommendations - from treatment options to referrals to our fully vetted and trusted partners.
Our guided self-assessment tool asks you some simple questions to find out more about your symptoms, so we can share personalised recommendations for the most suitable diagnostic tests for you.

At The Functional Gut Clinic we assess a wide range of gut-related symptoms including bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, acid reflux, heartburn, abdominal pain, and swallowing issues. Our functional gut tests help pinpoint the root causes of these symptoms.
While self-referral is available for many of our diagnostic tests, we recommend involving your GP or consultant to ensure a coordinated approach to your care.
Functional gut testing evaluates how your digestive system is working. We use advanced gold-standard testing techniques to diagnose issues like SIBO, acid reflux, slow digestion and gut motility disorders to guide effective treatment.
Results usually take 1-10 working days, depending on the test. We provide comprehensive reports with actionable next steps.
We have specialist permanent clinics in London, Manchester and Cambridge. We also have several satellite clinics across the UK including Edinburgh, Birmingham, Kettering, Stoke, Tunbridge Wells, Woking and Cardiff.
