Personalized testing
Darmcheck Personalized Test Package
Not every gastrointestinal complaint requires the same testing. With Darmcheck Personalized you choose a test package that is put together based on your answers and your personal situation.
A targeted questionnaire maps your gastrointestinal complaints and areas of concern. Based on your answers, we can select laboratory analyses that are relevant to your situation. This means you do not automatically have to choose an extensive standard package.

Discover the causes of gastrointestinal complaints
Most people who request stool testing have been experiencing gastrointestinal complaints for some time. Abnormal values are found in most people who request comprehensive testing. Identifying abnormalities in the intestines is an essential first step towards restoring gut health. Based on your results, a doctor or therapist can take targeted next steps and use the information to design a tailored treatment or diet.
The laboratory offers a large number of analyses, which have been grouped into a number of packages. The packages consist of combinations of tests for the most common causes of gastrointestinal complaints and are designed to provide as much relevant information as possible about gut health. All laboratory tests use European-certified tests and genetic techniques.
Intestinal parasite test
The laboratory uses the most reliable test (qPCR technique) to detect the DNA of intestinal parasites. It appears that 44% of people who request an intestinal parasite test are infected with one or more intestinal parasites.
IBS test
The IBS package is an all-in-one investigation into the causes of IBS symptoms. Abnormalities are found in two-thirds of submitted stool samples. This makes it possible to target treatment at the causes of IBS symptoms.
Candida test
The test does not only check for the presence of Candida in the intestines; the amount is also measured. It appears that 26% of people who have their stool tested for Candida have an overgrowth of these yeasts in the intestines.
