DNA Gut tests and reports on evidence-based, clinically useful, human genetic variants that predispose individuals to alterations in gut homeostasis. These alterations are known to have negative consequences for human health. The report offers personalised diet, lifestyle and nutraceutical interventions to support relevant pathways and help you achieve and maintain a healthy and resilient gastrointestinal tract.
The test is suitable for those suffering from, or predisposed to, IBS, IBD, coeliac disease, gut dysbiosis, non-coeliac gluten sensitivity or lactose intolerance, food sensitivities, chronic bloating, diarrhoea, or constipation, autoimmune tendencies and recurrent infections, as well as mental health conditions linked to gut health including mood, cognition, and neurodegenerative conditions. It should also be considered in anyone seeking preventative, root-cause care.

The DNA Gut report organises results into a concise summary of prioritised pathways that impact the  Five DNA Gut Health Pillars - Motility, Presence of Pathobionts, Aberrant Microbial Metabolite Production, Gut Barrier Integrity, Immune Function - providing a lifetime genetic blueprint of gut health predispositions presented as colour-coded areas of potential risk.
The Clear explanations and visuals for each gene variant and pathway, coupled by targeted recommendations for diet, supplements, probiotics, and lifestyle and prompts for further testing (GI-MAP, Zonulin, Gluten Peptide, Stool OMX, SIBO, Toxin Panels etc.) enables practitioners to prioritise key areas with coordinated, targeted and effective treatment strategies.


There is significant evidence highlighting the link between how the Gut Microbiota impacts our genes. Gut bacteria produce a vast array of compounds (microbial metabolites) which act as messengers, these metabolites can directly or indirectly influence our gene expression by altering DNA methylation. Microbes also influence the expression of genes involved in immune responses and the expression of genes related to lipid metabolism, glucose regulation, and nutrient absorption.
On the other hand, the human genome plays a major role in our gut health by 1. Shaping our gut environment through immune system genes that regulate which bacteria can colonize the gut, encoding proteins that create our gut lining and its protective mucus layer, and encoding digestive enzymes responsible for breaking down food. And 2. Influencing nutrient availability by determining how our bodies process and absorb nutrients and what substrates and cofactors are available to important gut enzymes and gut microbiota.
Knowledge of genetic risk variants together with functional testing enables better understanding of the patient’s symptom set and allows for deep insights into the driving factors leading to disease development.
