Gut Health

A gut health assessment is a comprehensive medical evaluation that explores how your digestive system and gut microbiome are functioning. At ROC Clinic, this includes a detailed medical history, lifestyle review, and targeted testing to identify underlying causes of digestive symptoms and wider health concerns.

You may benefit from a gut health assessment if you experience bloating, abdominal pain, excessive wind, indigestion, irregular bowel habits, fatigue, food intolerances, or unexplained changes in your stool. It is also suitable if you are seeking a preventative or holistic approach to long-term wellbeing.

Gut health plays a central role in digestion, immunity, metabolism, hormone regulation, and even mental health. Imbalances in the gut microbiome have been linked to inflammation, anxiety, low energy levels, skin conditions, and chronic illness. Improving gut health can lead to better physical and mental wellbeing.

Your initial appointment is with a doctor trained in gut health and integrative medicine. You will receive a full assessment covering medical history, symptoms, diet, stress, sleep, exercise, and travel history. A personalised action plan is then created based on your individual needs.

Depending on your symptoms, recommended investigations may include food allergy or coeliac testing, stool analysis for infection or inflammation, breath tests, microbiome analysis, nutritional testing, imaging, or referral for endoscopy or colonoscopy where appropriate.

Comprehensive gut microbiome testing may be recommended if clinically appropriate. This advanced analysis assesses the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut and helps guide personalised nutritional and medical recommendations.

No referral is required. You can book a private gut health appointment directly at ROC Clinic in London or Aberdeen.

Treatment plans are tailored to each patient and may include personalised nutrition plans, lifestyle changes, supplements, medication, or integrative therapies. Recommendations are always evidence-based and aligned with the latest medical research.
