HEALTH TESTS
Testing orders are available to everyone. You do NOT need to be a current patient to purchase tests.
You will be asked to fill out a patient form at checkout which will give us more information on your current diet and lifestyle, health concerns, current medications and supplement intake.
If you wish to purchase multiple tests for people in the same household please add quantity as 1 for each test so that individual patient forms can be completed. You can keep adding multiple tests to the same basket as long as patients reside at the same address. For multiple tests for the same patient you only need to complete the patient form once.
We work with a number of labs across the world including : Doctor’s Data Inc, Great Plains / Mosaic Laboratory, The London Clinic, Lifecode GX, The Doctors Laboratory, QuinTron, Precision Analytical, Immunosciences Labs & Verisana. If you require a test not listed here or advice on which test is best for you, please email info@mybodyfabulous.co.uk
Delivery is now available internationally, select your country at checkout. UK orders received by 2pm Mon-Fri are normally shipped via Royal Mail or courier service the same day.

This is the most comprehensive gut biome test we offer. From blood and mucus through to worms, viruses and pathogens this is the gold standard test if you have been suffering with discomfort for some time.
The GI360™ can help to differentiate inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from that noted in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
This impressive report incorporates the status of beneficial bacteria, imbalanced commensal bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, parasites, worms and yeasts. The efficiency of digestion and absorption is measured via faecal elastase, fat, carbohydrate, muscle and vegetable fibres whilst the biomarkers of calprotectin, lysozyme, lactoferrin, white blood cells, red blood cells and evidence of mucus are also used to assess inflammation.
This new profile now has the addition of Beta-Glucorinadase
You can also choose to add on zonulin and H pylori.
Elevated faecal zonulin family protein has been associated with increased intestinal permeability, metabolic syndrome and obesity.
Helicobacter Pylori is a microorganism which can be found on the stomach mucosa and may contribute to gastritis, gastric ulcers, GERD and other serious pathologies.
Consider the GI360™ Profile if you suffer with gastrointestinal symptoms, autoimmune diseases, IBD/IBS Inflammation or food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies, joint pain, chronic or acute diarrhea, bloody stool, mucosal barrier dysfunction, abdominal pain, fever or vomiting.
The GI360™ Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterises the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states. The GI360™ can identify the presence of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites using multiplexed, real-time PCR. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes.
Methodology
The test is broken down into sections:
Commensal bacteria and GI Pathogens measured by multiplex PCR.
Gold standard microscopy of parasites, worms and yeasts.
Microscopy of red and white blood cells, muscle fibres, vegetable fibres, pollen and Charcot-Leyden Crystals.
Culturing of commensal and pathogenic bacteria
Macroscopic assessment of stool colour, consistency and presence/ absence of mucus.
Elastase and Calprotectin - BÜHLMANN fCAL® & fPELA® turbo assays
H Pylori, Lactoferrin, Lysozyme, sIgA, Zonulin - Elisa
Carbohydrates – Colormetric
Fat Stain – Sudan IV
SCFA – Gas Chromatography
Beta Glucuronidase - Quantitative endpoint enzymatic (RUO)
Occult Blood – Guaiac
Stool pH – ISE
When should I use
The GI360 Complete with zonulin and H. Pylori can help to differentiate inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from that noted in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The test can be used to identify underlying factors in digestive symptoms. The dysbiosis index, based on PCR assessment of commensal bacteria, was devised using the ROME criteria for IBS and bacteria associated with IBD. This profile is indicated for gastrointestinal symptoms, autoimmune disease, gastritis, gastric ulcers, GERD, joint pain, IBD, IBS, inflammation, increased gut permeability, food sensitivities, nutritional deficiencies and skin conditions.
