Gastrointestinal Screen – Parasites by Medical Diagnosis
£72.00
Do You Have a Hidden Parasite Infection?
Digestive issues like chronic diarrhoea, bloating, nausea, and unexplained fatigue could be signs of a parasitic infection. Many people unknowingly carry parasites for years, experiencing only mild symptoms—or none at all—until an overgrowth leads to severe health problems. The Gastrointestinal Screen – Parasites test is a comprehensive stool analysis designed to detect the most common and clinically significant parasites affecting digestive health.
Why Test for Parasites?
Many parasites can go undetected for months or even years, contributing to persistent gut disturbances, weakened immunity, and nutrient malabsorption. If left untreated, these infections can lead to chronic inflammation, digestive disorders, and systemic health issues.
This test screens for six of the most common gut parasites known to cause digestive issues:
Blastocystis hominis – Associated with IBS-like symptoms, diarrhoea, bloating, and fatigue.
Cryptosporidium spp. – Causes watery diarrhoea, abdominal cramps, and dehydration; spreads through contaminated water.
Cyclospora cayetanensis – Triggers explosive diarrhea, cramping, nausea, and fatigue, often linked to contaminated fresh produce.
Dientamoeba fragilis – Can cause chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, and weight loss, often misdiagnosed as IBS.
Entamoeba histolytica – A severe pathogen that can cause bloody diarrhoea and, in some cases, liver abscesses.
Giardia lamblia – A common cause of prolonged diarrhoea, bloating, and malabsorption, often contracted from contaminated water.
Identifying these parasites through testing allows for targeted treatment and symptom relief, preventing long-term complications.
Who Should Take This Test?
Consider testing for parasites if you experience:
✔ Chronic diarrhoea or frequent loose stools
✔ Persistent bloating, gas, or abdominal pain
✔ Unexplained nausea, vomiting, or appetite changes
✔ Fatigue, weakness, or brain fog without a clear cause
✔ Unintentional weight loss or nutrient deficiencies
✔ Skin issues like rashes or hives linked to gut health
✔ Recent travel to areas with poor sanitation or contaminated water sources
✔ A history of foodborne illnesses or suspected exposure to parasites
Since parasites can mimic symptoms of IBS, leaky gut, and food intolerances, testing helps rule out parasitic infections as the root cause of digestive issues.

Why Early Detection Matters
Without proper testing, parasitic infections can persist and worsen over time, leading to severe malabsorption, gut inflammation, and systemic infections. Timely diagnosis allows for effective treatment, often with antimicrobial medications, herbal antimicrobials, or dietary changes tailored to the specific parasite detected.
