Many people across the UK suffer from persistent stomach pain, bloating, or digestive discomfort. While these symptoms are common, they shouldn’t be ignored—sometimes they hint at underlying issues with your digestive health, such as problems with your pancreas or enzyme imbalances.
Amylase is a vital enzyme produced mainly by your pancreas and salivary glands. Its role? To help break down carbohydrates into sugars your body can absorb. If amylase levels become too high or too low, it can signal conditions like pancreatitis, gallstones, or digestive disorders such as coeliac disease.
If you notice these symptoms alongside fatigue or weight loss, speak to your GP. Early diagnosis can make a real difference.
With advances in UK healthcare, you don’t have to wait for a GP referral. The Amylase Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic lets you test your levels conveniently at home. Using a TDL Tiny self-collection kit, you just need a simple finger-prick blood sample. Results are usually available the next working day.
Even if you’re not ready to order a test yet, consider these actionable steps:
