Digestion turns food into fuel. When pain, pale stools, oily stools or long-running diarrhoea are the issue, doctors often start with liver tests, pancreatic enzymes and a stool exam. Food intolerance blood panels are a separate, larger order and can be requested through the prescription desk.
Digestive problems cover a wide range, from short-lived upsets to long-running conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease and pancreatic problems. The location and nature of the symptoms help a doctor decide where to look.
Blood and stool tests are a sensible first step. They check whether the liver and pancreas are working normally, whether there is inflammation, and whether a stool sample shows blood, parasites or signs of poor fat absorption.
Your doctor may suggest one test or a combination, depending on your symptoms, age and earlier reports. Each test answers a different question. Here are the main blood tests used to look at digestion:
Liver Function Test measures Bilirubin Total, Bilirubin Direct, Bilirubin Indirect and related markers. Enzymes and bilirubin show how the liver is handling bile, protein and everyday metabolic work. Read more about the Liver Function Test.
Amylase measures Amylase. A pancreas-related enzyme ordered for severe upper abdominal pain. Read more about the Amylase.
Lipase measures Lipase. More specific than amylase when pancreatitis is suspected. Read more about the Lipase.
Stool Routine measures Stool Colour, Stool Consistency, Mucus and related markers. Looks for blood, mucus and parasites. Use a clean container and send the sample the same day. Read more about the Stool Routine.
Some general signs that people in this group notice:
Book tests if symptoms last more than a few weeks or keep returning. Severe abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black stools, signs of dehydration or a high fever with abdominal pain need urgent care.
Some people are more likely to have digestive problems that need testing.
Low fibre intake, irregular meals and too little water are common reasons for constipation and bloating.
These are the two most common causes of pancreatitis, and both affect the liver as well.
Gut infections and parasites spread through contaminated water and food, especially when travelling.
Some digestive conditions run in families or travel with other illnesses.
Many digestion problems develop quietly and are easier to manage when they are found early. A simple blood test, collected at home, is often the first step. Early testing helps in a few clear ways:
Blood markers often change before symptoms are strong enough to notice. Testing early gives you and your doctor more time to act, while the choices are still simple.
A report in hand helps a doctor decide whether you need a repeat test, a specialist visit, a scan, or only a follow-up date. It replaces guesswork with a number.
Your first report becomes the reference point. Later results are much easier to read when there is an earlier value to compare them with.
Home sample collection and a free report counselling call mean you do not have to take a day off or sit in a waiting room to get started.
Common tests include a liver function test, amylase and lipase for the pancreas, a stool routine exam and a blood count. A doctor may add tests for coeliac disease, thyroid or H. pylori. Endoscopy or imaging may follow.
Both are enzymes released by the pancreas. High levels, especially lipase, suggest pancreatitis when there is severe upper abdominal pain. They are less useful for mild, long-running digestive symptoms.
Use the clean container provided, avoid mixing it with urine or water, and send it to the lab the same day. Fill it to the marked level. The collector will explain any extra steps.
A stool routine exam can show eggs or cysts of common parasites, as well as blood and mucus. Parasites are passed on and off, so a doctor may ask for more than one sample.
No. Irritable bowel syndrome is diagnosed from symptoms after other causes have been ruled out. Blood and stool tests help exclude conditions such as coeliac disease, infection and inflammation.
Lactose intolerance is usually identified by symptoms or a breath test. Food intolerance blood panels are a separate, larger order with limited evidence behind many of them. Talk to a doctor before choosing one.
