IGP Level Checks are a range of health screen and individual blood tests carefully selected by our iGP Clinicians. The tests provide easy access to low cost testing of your key biomarkers to help manage, maintain and improve your health.
Simply Book your appointment online or by contacting us directly. At the time of booking, you will be emailed a pre-appointment questionnaire, which you can complete online. You will then visit an iGP clinic for your blood test (and physical examination if appropriate).
Following your appointment you will receive an electronic report clearly detailing your test results, how they compare to a healthy range, the implications and recommended next steps. Test result reports are shared via our secure patient portal, usually within 72 hours (results can take longer depending on the test you requested). The comprehensive report uses a traffic light system for ease of understanding and is available to download, print or share with other medical experts as required.
Please be aware that this is a testing/examination service only for you to take your results to your own clinician or by arranging a follow-up GP appointment with iGP. Results will not be interpreted without a follow-up GP appointment. However, results outside the standard testing range will be highlighted on your results. Your results will also include a link to book an online appointment if you wish to discuss your results with one of our doctors. There will be a £79 fee for this appointment, but the appointment is not required.
Information: A digestive health blood test is a panel of tests that are used to assess the function of the digestive system and to diagnose and manage digestive conditions. The test looks for H. pylori and Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies. H. Pylori test is a test that is used to detect the presence of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in the body. H. pylori is a type of bacteria that can infect the lining of the stomach and cause inflammation (gastritis). It is a common cause of ulcers in the stomach and small intestine. Anti-tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that attack and try to destroy the enzyme tissue transglutaminase. The presence of anti-TTG antibodies in the blood may indicate an autoimmune disorder, such as celiac disease or dermatitis herpetiformis. Please use the book now button to book your appointment at IGP. Locations will be available as a dropdown option on the booking screen.
Test Details: H. Pylori, Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase Antibodies

A digestive health blood test is a tool used to assess the health of a person's digestive system and identify any potential issues. These tests can provide valuable insights into the functioning of the digestive system and help healthcare professionals diagnose and treat a range of digestive conditions.
There are several different types of digestive health blood tests available, including tests that measure the levels of certain enzymes, hormones, and other substances in the blood. These tests can help healthcare professionals diagnose conditions such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and lactose intolerance, as well as identify any nutrient deficiencies or imbalances that may be impacting the digestive system.
In addition to identifying specific conditions, a digestive health blood test can also help healthcare professionals monitor the overall health of a person's digestive system and identify any potential risk factors for digestive issues. For example, a blood test can help detect high cholesterol levels, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other conditions, or high levels of certain enzymes, which can indicate liver damage or other issues.
If you have symptoms of a digestive disorder, such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, your healthcare provider may recommend a digestive health blood test to diagnose and treat the condition. By working with a healthcare professional to address any issues identified through a digestive health blood test, you can improve your overall digestive health and well-being.
There are many different digestive health issues that can cause a range of symptoms, including:
Abdominal pain: Digestive issues can cause abdominal pain, which can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by bloating, cramping, or discomfort.
Diarrhea: Diarrhea is the frequent passage of loose, watery stools, which can be caused by a variety of digestive issues, including food poisoning, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and infections.
Constipation: Constipation is the difficulty passing stools or having infrequent bowel movements, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including a lack of fiber in the diet, dehydration, and certain medications.
Nausea Digestive issues can cause feelings of nausea or vomiting, which can be accompanied by abdominal pain or discomfort.
Heartburn Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest or throat that is often caused by acid reflux, which occurs when stomach acid flows back up into the esophagus.
If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to speak with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment for digestive issues may include dietary changes, medications, or lifestyle modifications, depending on the underlying cause. By addressing digestive issues, you can improve your overall health and well-being.
