GI 360 Comprehensive Stool Analysis
£POA Contact us for current pricing
The GI 360 is a modern, in-depth assessment of your gut health. It combines traditional laboratory techniques with cutting-edge DNA (PCR) analysis to measure the bacteria, yeasts and parasites that make up your microbiome — alongside key markers of inflammation, immune defence, leaky gut and digestion.
Your good bacteria are essential for health and for regulating your immune system. When that balance is disrupted (dysbiosis), it can drive digestive issues, food intolerances and wide-reaching symptoms, because the gut affects so much of how we feel.
Who can benefit from this test?
Your practitioner may recommend this test if you have:
- Digestive issues — reflux, bloating, distension, fullness after eating, cramps, diarrhoea, constipation or fatty/floating stools
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
- Reactions to foods that are difficult to pinpoint
- Immune-related issues — skin rashes, unexplained joint or muscle pain, autoimmune conditions or immune-related fertility concerns
- Unexplained fatigue, brain fog or energy imbalances
- Weight-loss resistance or problems with insulin resistance

Stool sample (collected at home)
The GI 360 is a comprehensive analysis of your gut microbiome. It uses DNA (PCR) technology to identify microbes, which is far more accurate than relying on organisms growing under laboratory conditions. Importantly, it also includes markers of inflammation, leaky gut and digestive capacity — critical information that lets your practitioner tailor your protocol safely and effectively.
This test measures:
- Beneficial bacteria and microbial balance
- Pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites
- Yeasts including Candida
- H. pylori
- Calprotectin — inflammatory marker
- Lactoferrin — inflammatory marker
- Secretory IgA — immune defence
- Lysozyme — immune activity
- Pancreatic elastase — digestive enzyme output
- Fat absorption (fat stain)
- Short-chain fatty acids
- Beta-glucuronidase — oestrogen recycling
- Stool pH — acidity/alkalinity balance
- Hidden (occult) blood
- A dysbiosis index scoring overall balance
GI 360 FAQ
Gastroenterologists are experts in diagnosing digestive disease. The GI 360 offers a more detailed, functional view of your gut microbiome — beneficial microbes, problematic bacteria, yeasts and parasites — plus insight into inflammation, immune response, leaky gut and digestive function that standard clinical tests often don’t assess.
Our practitioners interpret these results in the context of your symptoms, history and lifestyle to build a personalised plan aimed at the root cause rather than just managing symptoms.
Standard stool tests usually focus on ruling out a small number of acute infections or obvious abnormalities. The GI 360 goes considerably deeper, using DNA analysis to measure beneficial bacteria and diversity, opportunistic and pathogenic organisms, yeasts and parasites, and markers of inflammation, immune response, leaky gut and digestion.
That fuller picture lets us pinpoint likely root causes and design tailored nutrition, lifestyle and supplement strategies.
Potentially, yes. The gut microbiome influences more than digestion — it can affect energy, mood, immune function and skin. Imbalances in bacteria, yeast or parasites can contribute to inflammation, nutrient shortfalls and gut–brain signalling changes that affect how you feel day to day. By identifying underlying gut imbalances, we aim to support digestion alongside energy, mood and skin.
It’s a stool sample collected at home with a kit posted to you. The GI 360 is generally not recommended for children under 2, because the gut microbiome is still developing in early infancy and certain markers (such as calprotectin and lactoferrin) can be naturally elevated, which affects interpretation.
Tests typically take 2 to 3 weeks from the date you send them back. We will email you the results when we receive them.
