With the Large Stomach Check, you have the opportunity to test for some of the most common diseases and conditions related to stomach problems. Often, stomach problems are linked to stress and significantly deteriorated mental health. 6 out of 10 people experience problems with their stomach, which of course affects their quality of life.

With the combination package Large Stomach Check, you get a total of seven different tests for a comprehensive check-up of your stomach. The tests included are for Ulcers, Gluten Intolerance, Blood in Stool, Egg Allergy, Milk Allergy, Calprotectin, and Rotavirus/Adenovirus.

The Gluten, Ulcer, Milk Allergy, and Egg Allergy tests are blood tests that are performed with a quick prick of the finger. Then, the blood is dropped onto a special test cassette, and after a few minutes, the result appears.

The Blood in Stool, Rotavirus/Adenovirus, and Calprotectin tests are performed with a stool sample. This is mixed with a liquid, which is then dropped onto a test cassette, and you also receive the result in just a few minutes! (For Blood in Stool, samples are collected for three days).

Ulcer Test

Detects the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which approximately 90% of people with ulcers carry.

Gluten test

Indicates Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA antibodies that are directly associated with gluten intolerance/celiac disease.

Blood in Stool Test

Blood in the stool is relatively common and can be caused by many different things. The most common is haemorrhoids, which are completely harmless. Another common cause is fissures in the anal opening. However, it should always be investigated.

Cow Milk Allergy Test

Detects elevated levels of IgE allergy antibodies to cow milk protein. This is one of the most common food allergies and can significantly affect the quality of life of an allergic individual.

Egg Allergy Test

Detects elevated levels of IgE allergy antibodies to eggs. This is a common food allergy, and eggs are found in many more foods than just regular eggs.

Calprotectin Test

Detects elevated levels of calprotectin, which may indicate an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Testing fecal calprotectin can help detect more people with IBS.

Rota-/Adenovirus Test

Detects Rotavirus, which is one of the most common causes of stomach flu. The virus causes, among other things, the classic stomach flu, which is common in children between the ages of 1-6 years. This test can also detect Adenovirus, which is a common cause of infection.
