Frequently Asked Questions

What is the wait time?

Our team values a service that delivers results to our customers as quickly as possible, and we are continuously working to reduce this wait time. Our current timeline (4-6 weeks) includes DNA isolation and sequencing, which allows us to generate the best and most accurate personalized report for each customer.

How does Gutcheck compare to competitors?

Our microbiome test kit stands out for its accessibility and user-friendly results. Unlike competitors, no licensed healthcare provider is needed—anyone motivated to optimise their gut health can easily purchase from our website. We prioritize clarity in our results, providing detailed yet easily understandable explanations without overwhelming medical jargon. 

 

Another distinction is our use of 16S rRNA sequencing for a broad view of the microbial community, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the gut microbiome. While others may use qPCR for specific quantification, we focus on a holistic perspective rather than quantifying specific species or genes.

What information is included in Gutcheck and how can I use it?

The GutCheck test is designed to:

  • Get insights into how your gut microbiome is impacting your current digestive health, mental and physical well-being
  • Learn about the potential future disease associations
  • Help optimize lifestyle changes to improve overall health and productivity
  • Suggest food and probiotics to optimize your unique gut microbiome

What is the process?

Following the purchase of a Gutcheck kit, you will be shipped your kit which includes all of the necessary items to easily collect a stool sample and return the sample using the provided prepaid shipping envelope. 

 

Our Gutcheck analysis provides a detailed report on your gut bacteria, gut potential, disease-associations, personalized food recommendations, and more! Our team of scientists and engineers perform extensive research and develop a comprehensive test report. It takes approximately 6-weeks from the day we receive your stool sample. During this time, we keep you updated about the status and progress of your sample. You can log into your account and check the status or receive an email/text message if you provide your contact information.

Do you test for parasites, yeast or fungus?

Currently we do not sequence yeast, fungi, or parasites. The report is based on bacteria only. We test for some pathogenic and inflammatory bacteria including clostridium difficile, H. pylori, clostridium perfringens, Collinsella, Fusobacterium, and Desulfovibrio. We also provide you with a composition breakdown of all bacteria present in your microbiome. In the near future, we plan on offering fungi and parasite detection as an option within our testing.

What is the best time to take my test?

It is best to take the test after your first bowel movement of the day when you have maintained your regular habits and diet for at least a week prior to sampling. Any changes to your normal daily routine like overseas travel, short-term use of medicines, or trying new foods can influence your gut microbiome.
