Which Gut Health Tests check for blood in the stool?
Our Advanced and Ultimate Gut Health Tests check for blood.
Our Advanced and Ultimate Gut Health Tests check for blood because blood in your stool can be a sign of a few conditions, like ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, haemmorrhoids or fissures (tears in the lining of your rectum). Very rarely, blood can also indicate colon cancer.
Usually, blood in your stool is nothing to worry about, but you should always tell your doctor if you see blood in your stool, or if a Gut Health Test detects it.
