Comprehensive Stool Testing allows us to take the guesswork out of your digestive health.
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis gives us an inside look at your gastrointesntial health and helps us assess the root cause of your digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and malabsorption.
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis is a simple stool test that helps us assess your digestive and absorptive functions, understand the status of your individualized our microbiome, identify the presence of pathogenic infections, bacteria, yeast or parasites and to monitor our treatments.
Poor digestion and malabsorption of vital nutrients can contribute to degenerative diseases, compromised immune status and nutritional deficiencies. Impairment of the highly specific nutrient uptake processes, or compromised GI barrier function, as in “leaky gut syndrome”.
THIS TEST IS RECOMMENDED FOR ANYONE EXPERIENCING:
- Digestive Symptoms like bloating, gassiness, diarrhea, constipation, discomfort or indigestion
- Irritable Bowel Disease/Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Food Sensitivities
- Autoimmune Diseases
- Joint Pain
- Inflammation
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- Skin Conditions (Atopic Dermatitis)
WHAT IT TESTS
| Marker | Indication | |
| Microbiome overview – Gut bacteria/yeast/parasite levels | helps determine the status of the bacterial microbiome in your digestive tract, including identification of any pathogenic infections, like yeast | |
| lysozyme, lactoferrin, white blood cells, secretory IgA and mucus | helps assess level of inflammation in the gut, aiding in differentiate between inflammatory bowel disease and IBS | |
| elastase, fat, muscle and vegetable fibers, and carbohydrates | helps determine efficacy of digestion and absorption of vital nutrients, including pancreatic enzyme sufficiency | |
| % of short chain fatty acids | helps determine the ratios of beneficial bacterial populations, protecting against bacterial dysbiosis & healing from inflammation | |
Cornerstones of good health include proper digestion of food, assimilation of nutrients, exclusion of pathogens and timely elimination of waste.
