Ongoing tummy discomfort, bloating, and mild abdominal pain are common for many in the UK, but when are these symptoms more than just an inconvenience?
Your pancreas makes lipase, an enzyme vital for digesting dietary fats. When the pancreas struggles—due to stress, illness, or inflammation—lipase levels in your blood can change. This can affect fat digestion, leading to discomfort or changes in your digestive pattern.
Don't ignore bloating and discomfort. These can be early signs of deeper digestive issues, including those involving your pancreas.
The Lipase Home Blood Test Kit provides a quick, UK-lab analysed snapshot of your pancreatic health using just a tiny capillary blood sample. Results are available within 1 working day. You can also choose an in-person test at Mayfield Clinic for a deeper assessment.
If you develop severe symptoms—such as intense abdominal pain, vomiting, or jaundice (yellowing of the eyes)—seek urgent medical advice.
Find out if your pancreas is behind your bloating. Order a Lipase Home Blood Test Kit from Mayfield Clinic or book an in-person test. Get answers and take control of your digestive health today!
A single test can give you a snapshot, but for chronic or unexplained symptoms, regular monitoring (as recommended by a healthcare provider) can track trends and responses to lifestyle changes.
Some common UK medicines—such as steroids, certain antibiotics, and diuretics—can affect pancreatic enzymes. Inform your GP of all medications before interpreting test results.
Personal results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, and in discussion with a qualified UK healthcare provider, like your Mayfield GP.
Check your pancreatic health with an easy, at-home lipase blood test kit.
