# Does my Gut Health Test include Clostridium Difficile?

## None of our Gut Health Tests look at Clostridium Difficile, but this test is something you can ask your GP about.

Our Gut Health Tests look at Clostridia species. However they don't test for Clostridium Difficile, or toxins A and B.

If you'd like to test for these, speak with your GP as they may be able to offer this testing for you if you have concerns.
