# I think my digestive problems could be down to my genes, does Healthpath do genetic testing?

## If you suspect your digestive problems could be genetic, it's important to remember that genes are unlikely to be wholly responsible.

While certain genetic polymorphisms can predispose you to digestive issues, your environment has more of an influence on whether or not you develop gut problems.

Healthpath do not offer genetic testing, but we do offer one of the most comprehensive gut health tests on the market, with an easy-to-read report plus a personalised health plan.
