What tests should be done to check if the gut is healthy?
Basic gut health assessment usually starts with stool tests (for digestion, inflammation, infections), H. pylori testing if there are upper-gut symptoms, and simple blood tests to look for deficiencies like B12, iron, and vitamin D that reflect absorption.
These tests give a functional picture of how the gut is actually working — not just whether disease is present. Understanding what your results mean in context is just as important as getting the tests done. Most people only get tested when symptoms are severe — but these tests are equally valuable as a baseline before symptoms worsen.
If nothing has worked so far, it doesn't mean you're beyond healing. It means the approach was incomplete — treatments tried in isolation, without the sequence that makes them stick. Every patient who walks into Thavira has tried something before. Most have tried everything. And most of them heal — completely, permanently — because for the first time, all the right treatments are working together in the right order. Our AYUSH-certified doctors will build that protocol around your body and your life. The healing you've been looking for is still possible.
