Stool Tests Singapore

Check Your Gut and Digestive Health with Simple Stool Tests

A stool test is a simple, non-invasive way to assess your digestive health. It helps detect gut imbalances, infections, inflammation, and hidden bleeding that may not show obvious symptoms.

At Regis Medical, we offer clinically useful stool tests in Singapore, with doctor guidance to help you identify the root cause of digestive symptoms and improve long-term gut health.

What Is a Stool Test?

A stool test analyses a sample of your stool to evaluate your digestive system and identify potential gastrointestinal issues.

It can help detect:

  • Gut microbiome imbalances
  • Bacterial infections (e.g. H. pylori)
  • Hidden blood in stool
  • Inflammation in the digestive tract
  • Digestive health markers

These tests are commonly used for both symptom evaluation and preventive screening

Available Stool Tests

Digestive symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, or unexplained fatigue can sometimes be linked to underlying gut conditions. Stool tests provide a non-invasive and effective way to evaluate digestive health, infections, and potential gastrointestinal bleeding. 

At Regis Medical GP clinic Singapore, we offer three clinically useful stool tests: 

  • Amili Gut Microbiome Test 
  • H. pylori Stool Antigen Test 
  • Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) 

These tests can help detect infections, identify gut imbalances, and screen for possible digestive tract issues, allowing early treatment and better long-term health. 

Which Stool Test Should You Choose?

Not sure where to start?

  • Bloating, IBS, gut health → Microbiome test
  • Gastric symptoms (pain, reflux) → H. pylori test
  • Colorectal cancer screening / age 50+ → FOBT

Our Doctors will also recommend the most appropriate stool test in Singapore based on your symptoms.

1. Amili Gut Microbiome Test

Understand the Balance of Your Gut Bacteria 

The Amili Gut Microbiome Test analyses the composition of bacteria living in your digestive system. Your gut microbiome plays a major role in digestion, immunity, metabolism, and even mood regulation. 

What This Test Can Reveal 

The test provides insights into: 

  • Gut bacterial diversity 
  • Beneficial vs harmful bacteria balance 
  • Digestive health markers 
  • Links to metabolic health and inflammation 
  • Dietary recommendations tailored to your microbiome 


Who Should Consider This Test? 

You may benefit from a microbiome test if you experience: 

  • Chronic bloating or gas 
  • Irritable bowel symptoms 
  • Food sensitivities 
  • Persistent fatigue 
  • Difficulty managing weight 
  • Frequent infections 
  • Interest in personalised nutrition 

In the course of a detailed history and physical examination, our friendly Doctors may note that there might be other conditions and diagnoses that need to be considered first. In the event of this, please do take note that our Doctors may guide you to other tests and management strategies before considering the Microbiome Test. 


How the Test Works 

  1. A stool sample collection kit is provided. 
  2. The sample is returned to the lab for testing. 
  3. Advanced DNA sequencing analyses your gut bacteria. 
  4. You receive a detailed gut health report with personalised insights. 

Results typically take 21 days. 

2. H. pylori Stool Antigen Test

Detect Helicobacter pylori Infection 

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that infects the stomach lining and is a common cause of: 

  • Gastritis 
  • Peptic ulcers 
  • Chronic indigestion 
  • Increased risk of stomach cancer 

The H. pylori stool antigen test detects active infection by identifying bacterial proteins in a stool sample. 


Symptoms That May Suggest H. pylori Infection 

  • Consider testing if you experience: 
  • Persistent upper abdominal pain 
  • Bloating or nausea 
  • Frequent burping 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Recurrent gastric ulcer-like symptoms (pain after eating food)


Benefits of Stool Antigen Testing 

  • Non-invasive 
  • No fasting overnight required
  • High diagnostic accuracy 
  • Detects active infection 
  • Useful for confirming eradication after treatment 

Results are usually available within 20 minutes 

3. Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)

Screen for Hidden Blood in the Stool 

The Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) detects tiny amounts of blood in stool that are not visible to the naked eye. 

Hidden blood in stool can sometimes indicate: 

  • Colorectal polyps 
  • Colorectal cancer 
  • Inflammatory bowel disease 
  • Gastrointestinal bleeding 
  • Haemorrhoids 


Who Should Consider FOBT? 

FOBT is commonly recommended for: 

  • Colorectal cancer screening 
  • Individuals aged 50 and above 
  • Individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer (for example, if your direct family member had colorectal cancer at age 50, then you should consider starting screening at age 40 years old) 


Why Early Screening Matters 

Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes. FOBT is a simple and convenient screening test that may identify issues before symptoms develop. 

Results are typically ready within 1–3 days. 

What to Expect During Stool Testing

The process is simple and convenient: 

  1. Doctor ConsultationOur doctor assesses your symptoms and recommends the most appropriate stool test. 
  2. Sample CollectionYou will receive a stool collection kit with clear instructions. 
  3. Laboratory AnalysisSamples are processed at accredited laboratories for Gut Microbiome test and FOBT. For H Pylori, samples are examined in clinic by our Doctors 
  4. Review ResultsOur doctor explains the results and recommends any necessary treatment or lifestyle changes.
