Why Gut Testing Matters
Your gut is not just about digestion — it’s a living ecosystem housing trillions of bacteria, fungi, and microorganisms that regulate your immunity, metabolism, hormones, and even mood.
The Amili Gut Microbiome Test analyses the DNA of your gut bacteria to show what’s really happening inside your digestive system. It’s one of the most advanced tests available in Singapore, developed by Amili Labs, a leading clinical-grade microbiome research centre.
What the test measures
The report gives you an overview of your microbial diversity and composition, including:
The balance between beneficial and potentially harmful species
Your short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production potential
Markers for inflammation and gut barrier strength
Your metabolic capacity (how your microbiome supports energy, weight, and mood)
You’ll also see your Amili Diversity Score, an easy way to track gut improvement over time — higher diversity means a more resilient gut and immune system.
Real Case Examples from My Practice
These results show that the gut microbiome mirrors your current lifestyle, diet, stress, and sleep patterns — it’s like a live biomarker that updates every few days.
What I’ve learned from my own test
My first Amili test showed a low butyrate-producing capacity, meaning my gut wasn’t making enough of the anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acids that protect the colon lining.After eight weeks of targeted prebiotics and higher vegetable diversity, my diversity score improved significantly, and even my sleep became deeper.
This taught me one simple truth: You can’t fix what you can’t see. Once you measure your microbiome, you can truly start to heal it.
How to Use Your Gut Microbiome Results
🔍 Step 1: Identify imbalances: See where your beneficial bacteria are low, or where inflammatory species dominate.
🥗 Step 2: Rebuild with food: Each microbe thrives on specific nutrients — some prefer fibre, some need polyphenols, others love resistant starch.
💊 Step 3: Support with the right probiotics & lifestyle: Not every probiotic fits everyone. Your report shows which types may help restore balance faster.
🧘 Step 4: Track and retest: Re-test every 4–6 months to see how your diversity and inflammation markers improve.
My takeaway
The gut test doesn’t just tell you what’s wrong — it helps you understand why your body reacts the way it does.For many clients, it has explained symptoms like:
Fatigue that won’t go away despite good diet
Skin issues that flare with stress
IBS-like symptoms and post-meal discomfort
Your microbiome reflects your environment — change your habits, and it changes with you.

FAQ:
Q: What exactly does the Amili Gut Microbiome Test analyse?
A: It analyses the DNA of microorganisms in your stool sample to identify the types and balance of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes living in your gut. The report shows your microbial diversity, inflammation markers, metabolic activity, and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) potential — all key to digestion, immunity, and mood regulation.
Q: Is the test suitable for healthy individuals, or only those with gut issues?
A: It’s suitable for both. Many of my clients are generally well but want to understand their gut balance, energy metabolism, and inflammation levels. It’s also helpful for people with bloating, IBS, fatigue, acne, eczema, or low immunity.
Q: How do I take the sample? Is it complicated?
A: Not at all. The kit includes a collection tube and clear step-by-step instructions. You only need to collect a pea-sized stool sample, seal it in the tube, and pack it back in the provided packaging.
Q: How do I return the sample?
A: After collection, simply contact Miri to arrange the return of your sample if you are in Singapore. If you are overseas, please contact Miri for special courier arrangement details.
Q: How long does it take to receive my results?
A: The lab usually releases results in about 3–4 weeks. You’ll receive a digital report by email.
Q: What does the report look like?
A: You’ll receive a personalised digital report showing your gut diversity score, microbial composition, and functional insights — including diet and probiotic recommendations tailored to your microbiome.
Q: What language will the report be in?
A: The standard report is in English, but you may request a Chinese summary if needed.
Q: Can Miri help me interpret the results?
A: Yes. Please share your Amili report with Miri, and I will guide you on how to use the data to adjust your diet, supplements, and lifestyle for better gut and metabolic health.
Q: How do I order the test?
A: Simply message Miri on WhatsApp (+65 9899 3066) or email (info@wellnessbymiri.com).
A payment link will be issued by Wellness by Miri Pte Ltd (via Aspire banking), and the kit will be shipped to your address with full instructions and return materials included.
Q: Who should consider taking this test?
A: Anyone experiencing bloating, fatigue, skin problems, constipation, low immunity, sugar cravings, or brain fog — or anyone who simply wants to understand their gut health better.
