Advancing Gut Health Through Scientific Discovery

We are researchers at the University of Aberdeen studying how changes in the protein TDP-43 may explain persistent gut symptoms in patients whose tests appear normal.

These biological changes may also signal early risk of neurodegenerative disease – potentially decades before symptoms begin.

Our mission is to move beyond “normal results” and provide clearer answers for patients living with unresolved GI conditions.

The Hidden Challenge Behind “Normal” Test Results

Persistent Symptoms, No Clear Diagnosis

Many patients live with chronic constipation or diarrhoea despite investigations showing no abnormalities.

Difficult to Manage in Practice

When results appear normal, treatment pathways are unclear and symptoms often remain unresolved.

An Underlying Cause May Be Missed

Protein aggregation, such as TDP-43, may underlie these unexplained gastrointestinal problems but goes undetected in routine testing.

OUR SOLUTION

Looking for answers to ongoing gut symptoms?

Are you one of the many people living with disruptive bowel symptoms for years without clear answers?

Our simple stool test provides a new window into gut health by detecting biological changes that standard investigations can miss. Designed to support both patients and healthcare professionals, it helps validate symptoms, guide lifestyle and dietary decisions, and enable more personalised care.
