What is gut health and why does it matter?
Your gut is the foundation of your overall health. When balanced, the bacteria in your gut help to calibrate many important aspects of your health.
Gut health helps to:
- Improve digestion: A healthy gut ensures nutrients are absorbed efficiently.
- Strengthen immunity: Your gut houses a significant portion of your immune system, helping to fend off illness.
- Support mental health: Gut bacteria are closely linked to mood regulation and cognitive function.
- Boost energy: A balanced gut reduces inflammation and promotes optimal energy production.
An imbalance in your gut flora can cause bloating, gas, fatigue, and even more serious health concerns. By understanding your gut’s unique makeup, you can take proactive steps toward better health.
Who should take the Comprehensive Stool Flora Analysis?
The Comprehensive Stool Flora Analysis is ideal for anyone looking to improve their digestive health and address persistent symptoms.
This test is especially recommended for individuals who experience:
- Recurring bloating, gas, or indigestion
- Fatigue or lack of energy without clear cause
- Suspected food intolerances or sensitivities
- Frequent infections or immune system issues
- Skin problems such as acne or eczema
Whether you’re seeking to alleviate chronic symptoms or simply maintain a healthy gut, this test provides actionable insights for enhancing your overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference with the Comprehensive Stool Flora analysis and other microbiome tests?
The Comprehensive Stool Flora Analysis is a Practitioner Only test ordered through our partnering lab in Australia. Your sample will not be sent overseas (many of the bacteria can die if in transit for too long) and the test method uses the latest in DNA based sequencing to capture both aerobic and anaerobic species. The test not only covers important healthy and unhealthy bacteria but also parasites, yeasts like Candida, viruses, worms and functional markers like calprotectin, zonulin, secretory IgA, anti-gliadin IgA and digestive enzymes. This means that you will be able to identify if you have overgrowths & imbalances, an infection, inflammation, leaky gut, SIBO, low immune health, Coeliac indicators and more. Your results will be interpreted by our qualified in-house practitioner who will provide very targeted recommendations for what foods, probiotic strains and prebiotics will be most useful to you. We highly recommend a post-test consultation to go over your results.
Why do I need a stool flora analysis?
It is important to get a baseline on our health and a stool flora analysis can reveal underlying issues that may not be picked up in other tests. Before taking supplements and probiotics it is important to be able to target exactly the right formulas to build a strong and healthy microbiome. Without the guidance of your individual results you can only embark on a one size fits all protocol which is not ideal.
Do you test Candida and leaky gut?
Yes, our test is specific for detection of leaky gut and Candida species including Candida albicans, as well as other yeasts and fungi. You will be able to determine if a Candida overgrowth is responsible for your symptoms and receive actionable advice. This is recommended if your ImuPro Complete test returned a positive Candida result. Natural long term solutions for suppressing Candida and strenghtening the gut barrier will be provided in your Personal Recommendations.
Will H. Pylori be detected?
Yes. However Helicobacteria Pylori is not often detected in stool samples. This is because it primarily lives in the stomach, and sometimes the upper small intestine. A breath test may be more specific for H Pylori detection.
What is the test method?
Traditional stool culture methods cannot provide information on anaerobic species (a large portion of the gut microbiome cannot grow in oxygen). This test utilises the latest DNA sequencing (qPCR-Quantitative PCR, ELISA, GC/MS) which enables more comprehensive insight.
Can I get this test via my GP?
Your GP is more likely to screen you for serious pathogens like bacteria, viruses and parasites that might be causing your symptoms, not your gut microbiome more broadly. It is important to look at the overall health and function of your gut when trying to address chronic and often medically unexplained health issues like IBS, not just the presence of pathogens.
Does this test help identify IBS, IBD and SIBO?
Yes, there are specific microbial species and functional gut markers that are related to irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease and small intestinal bacteral overgrowth. While IBS and IBD often produce symptoms in the large bowel such as bloating, gas, pain, and alternating bowel movements, SIBO is also linked with upper gastrointestinal disorders such as reflux, heartburn and even hayfever.
What can I expect from my results?
You will receive 2 documents: Your Comprehensive Stool Flora Analysis lab report and your Therapist Summary report. This includes over 100 findings with their quantitative & qualitative analysis for bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa, yeast, worms as well as intestinal markers for inflammation, digestion, Coeliac disease, fat absorption, SIBO, immune function, occult blood, mucous and short chain fatty acid production.
Your Therapist Summary report will be prepared by our bachelor qualified in-house Naturopath. Hannah will carefully interpret and present your results in an easy to read summary report. This will include an explanation of each finding, what it means for you and how it ties in with your overall health as well as targeted suggestions for natural remedies. The report will include specific dietary advice for your gut microbiota, targeted prebiotics and appropriate probiotics.
