Gut analysis and stool test
Our advanced microbiome and stool test can help diagnose certain conditions affecting your digestive tract and help you understand the causes of a decline in your health. Using cutting-edge technologies and biomarkers, you'll get valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome.

- Check for poor absorption of nutrients by the digestive tract and the knock affect to your health.
- Look at beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health, and inflammation markers.
- Check for the presence of disease-causing microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria that cause chronic illness and affect your nervous system.
- Identify diseases of the digestive tract, liver, and pancreas and see how well those organs are working.

Comprehensive profile
Get a complete understanding of your gut.
The biomarkers on our Comprehensive Profile reflect the 3 key functions of gut health: Digestion/Absorption, Inflammation/Immunology, and the Gut Microbiome.
- Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.
- Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.
- Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.
- Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation. Produced in abundance at sites of inflammation, this biomarker has been proven clinically useful in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).4,5
- Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.
- Faecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function.
- Faecal Occult Blood Test detects hidden blood; faecal immunochemical testing (FIT) is a preferred noninvasive test for colorectal cancer screening/detection.
- Metabolic indicators, including short-chain fatty acids and beta-glucuronidase, demonstrate specific and vital metabolic functions performed by the microbiota.
- Commensal Bacteria demonstrate the composition and relative abundance of gut organisms.
- Bacterial and mycology cultures demonstrate the presence of specific beneficial and pathological organisms.
- Bacterial and mycology sensitivities are provided for pathogenic or potentially pathogenic organisms that have been cultured. The report includes effective prescriptive and natural agents.
- Parasitology includes comprehensive testing for all parasites on every parasitology exam ordered.
- Campylobacter
- Clostridium difficile
- Escherichia coli
- Feacal Lactoferrin
- Helicobacter pylori
- Macro Exam for Worms
- Zonulin Family Peptide
- KOH Preparation for Yeast

This was my first time using transform, I can’t express how good of an experience it has been for me. There’s many questions that I have wanted to know that were answered, professional, knowledgeable and made me feel very welcome. I would … More recommend who ever you are if you are a average gym user or elite athlete to go and visit.
Massively appreciate the advice I was given and will be using them again in the future. -

I cannot recommend Transform Now enough.. the consultation was informative and Dr Khan’s comforting and empathic “bedside manner” put me totally at ease immediately. Results were sent to me promptly with a detailed explanation of what … More they meant for me and my lifestyle and advice on how to improve.
I’m a cynical journalist and so am generally quite wary of those who promise to “transform” others… but in this instance that’s exactly what Dr Khan does. -
