What do we test for?

Calprotectin

Calprotectin is a protein released by white blood cells when there’s inflammation in the gut. Elevated faecal calprotectin levels help detect and monitor inflammatory bowel diseases (such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) and distinguish them from non-inflammatory conditions like IBS.

How will this help you?

What is a Faecal Calprotectin Test?

Faecal calprotectin is a protein released by white blood cells during inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Measuring calprotectin in a stool sample helps detect and monitor conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis) and distinguish them from functional disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Frequently asked questions

What is a faecal calprotectin test?

A faecal calprotectin test measures the level of calprotectin, a protein released by white blood cells when there’s inflammation in your gut. Our at-home faecal calprotectin test kit lets you collect a small stool sample using the QFIT device and send it to the lab to help distinguish conditions like IBD from irritable bowel syndrome.

Why would I use an at-home faecal calprotectin test kit?

You might need a home faecal calprotectin test if you’re experiencing persistent abdominal pain, diarrhoea, or other digestive symptoms and want to check for gut inflammation without an immediate hospital visit. It’s ideal for monitoring known inflammatory bowel disease or investigating unexplained gut symptoms.

How do I collect a stool sample for this test at home?

Collecting your sample is easy: simply follow the kit instructions to deposit a small stool sample into the QFIT collection device, seal it, and send it back in the prepaid envelope. No special diet or fasting is required beforehand.

When will I get my faecal calprotectin test results?

You’ll typically receive your results within 3–5 business days after the laboratory receives your sample. We notify you by email when your results are available, and you can book a follow-up GP appointment (in person or via video) if needed.

Do I need to prepare or fast before a faecal calprotectin home test?

No. You can carry on with your normal diet and medication. However, if you’re on certain anti-inflammatories or antibiotics, let us know so our lab can interpret your results accurately.
