About Darmklachten.nl
Darmklachten.nl helps consumers gain more insight into their gut health.
We offer laboratory test kits that can easily be ordered online and combine this with extensive, medically substantiated information about gastrointestinal complaints, the microbiome and how the intestines work.
Laboratory testing accessible to consumers
People with long-term or recurring gastrointestinal complaints often want to understand better what is happening in their body.
Darmklachten.nl makes various laboratory tests directly accessible to consumers.
Through our website, you can order test kits for various aspects of gut health.
Depending on the test, you receive a sampling kit at home with which you can collect the required material.
After analysis, you receive the test result.
Our aim is to make laboratory testing understandable and accessible to people who actively want to gain more insight into their health.
More than just a webshop
Darmklachten.nl is not just a website where laboratory tests can be ordered.
An important part of our mission is to make reliable and understandable information about the intestines available.
On Darmklachten.nl you will therefore find an extensive knowledge base with articles on gastrointestinal complaints, stool, the microbiome, gut bacteria, parasites, digestion and various conditions that can affect the gastrointestinal tract.
When writing this information, we look not only at symptoms, but also at the underlying physiology and at what scientific research has shown about the gut and the microbiome.
Medical knowledge and many years of experience
Many of the in-depth articles on Darmklachten.nl were written by physician Saskia van As.
She trained as a general practitioner and has spent several decades studying and researching gut health, the microbiome and gastrointestinal complaints.
By combining medical knowledge with many years of research into the gut flora and intestinal function, we aim to explain subjects that are often complex in an understandable way.
In this way, we want to give visitors not only the opportunity to carry out laboratory testing, but also the background information needed to understand gut health better.
Our principles
Accessible
Laboratory testing should not be unnecessarily complicated. We make it possible to order tests easily online and collect samples at home when this is possible for the test concerned.
Evidence-based
Our substantive information is based on medical knowledge, scientific literature and many years of study of gut health and the microbiome.
Understandable
Topics relating to gut health can be complex. We therefore try to explain medical and scientific information as clearly and practically as possible.
Why gut health?
The intestines play an important role in many processes in the body. In addition to digestion and the absorption of nutrients, there is growing scientific interest in the composition of the gut microbiome and the interaction between gut bacteria, diet, immunity and health.
At the same time, complaints such as abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence and changes in bowel habits are common.
Laboratory testing can provide additional information in certain situations. The significance of a result always depends on the individual situation and the type of test.
