Also - the SBBO test - that one my doctors did say I'd have to go to another hospital for, but they also said it can be diagnosed by a trial of antibiotics - if symptoms improve with antibiotics, it confirms the diagnosis. (I ended up taking a lot of antibiotics for another problem, and since my digestion did not improve, they concluded SBBO was not an issue, which was also what I thought anyway, and I never did the test.)
Faecal calprotectin - I'm not certain if they'd include it in regular stool tests, but I know when I had one, they just took a sample of my stoma output the same as they do for other stool tests, so you probably wouldn't know if you'd had the test before without than actually telling you they were doing it. And some doctors don't keep us informed of all that much, so who knows.
