Evaluate Your Body’s Ability to Break Down and Absorb Food
The Digestive Residues Test is designed to assess how efficiently your digestive system processes and absorbs nutrients. By measuring the amounts of fat, nitrogen (protein), sugar (carbohydrates), and water in your stool, the test provides insight into how well your body is digesting and utilizing the food you eat.
What Does the Test Measure?
- Fat residues – to assess fat digestion and absorption
- Nitrogen residues – a marker for protein breakdown
- Sugar residues – indicates carbohydrate digestion efficiency
- Water content – reflects stool consistency and potential imbalances
Elevated levels of these substances in stool may indicate that nutrients are not being fully absorbed, potentially due to issues like enzyme deficiencies, inflammation, or gut mucosal damage.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is suitable for individuals who:
- Experience frequent bloating, loose stools, or undigested food in stool
- Suspect fat malabsorption or digestive enzyme issues
- Have unexplained nutrient deficiencies or weight loss
- Are monitoring gut function after illness, medication use, or food intolerances
It is also a valuable tool for those seeking a deeper understanding of their digestive performance beyond basic symptom tracking.
How Does It Work?
The test is a simple at-home stool collection. You’ll receive everything needed for sample collection and shipping to the lab. Results will be delivered digitally with a clear breakdown of each parameter.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
