THIS IS FOR YOU IF

Your child has symptoms that generic advice hasn't explained

Most parents land here after years, not months. Elimination diets. Repeat prescriptions. Probiotic after probiotic. Late-night searches. A GP visit that ended in "it's probably just a phase." What they haven't had is a look at what's actually happening inside.

Eczema & skin

Constipation & digestive issues

Frequent illness

Allergies & reactions

Low energy & mood

Eczema can have a gut origin – not just a skin one.

Often the answer's in the gut, not the skin, which is why the symptoms keep returning after several rounds of steroid creams. Alba uncovers what's happening in your child's gut, and leverages the research to identify how it might be driving your child's symptoms.

THE GUT BALANCE JOURNEY

Understanding is the first step.

Restoring takes time to confirm.

Changing your child's diet or trying probiotics is one thing – knowing it's actually working is another. The Gut Balance Programme gives you that answer, with a second test that shows exactly what's shifted. Proof, not just a feeling.

1. Test

A simple at-home stool sample. Results in your app in 3–4 weeks.

2. Understand

The report shows what's out of balance, and why it may be linked to your child's symptoms.

3. Restore

Follow a plan built around your child's data. Food, supplements, habits, all specific to them.

4. Track

A second test shows what's changed, and sets what comes next.

The gut microbiome changes slowly.

Meaningful shifts from diet and lifestyle take 3–6 months to show. That's not a flaw, it's biology. The Gut Balance Programme is designed around that reality. Test 1 sets the baseline; Test 2 confirms the change.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the consultation with Johanna and was amazed by her knowledge. Most of all, she truly understood my struggles in finding the cause of my daughter’s eczema. Her support gave me renewed confidence and positive energy. I highly recommend Alba Health.

    My daughter had the Alba gut health test done and genuinely it’s been amazing. I suffer with health anxiety so I was slightly apprehensive about doing this, but genuinely after getting the results back I actually feel SO much better knowing what’s actually going on in her gut. I had a call with Tanya our nutritionist and it was SO insightful and she gave me a full plan of action and a certain probiotic to help with my daughter. I’m so glad I done this test. I’m going to do my boys next!

    Detailed questions and a super interesting report that helped us plan our meals better to support our son’s gut health. The consultation made us feel calm, confident, and motivated to make the changes we needed. She was incredibly knowledgeable and gave such thoughtful advice. Thank you!

    The insight I gained into my children’s gut health has been invaluable. It brought clarity to things that were hard to understand and that our healthcare centre couldn’t really help with, and it inspired us to make changes that actually feel simple and doable. Worth every single penny!
