- 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

I visited Dr Khan on a Saturday for blood tests as I wanted an overall check up. The following Tuesday I’d received my results with a follow up telephone conversation from Dr Khan advising me of the full readings of my tests and what the … More next steps are to correct any problems. Overall it’s been a fantastic experience. You feel at ease within minutes of sitting down with Dr Khan and he listens to all of your concerns and again advises accordingly. Highly recommend paying him a visit!
