Digestive issues such as bloating, irregularity, fatigue, or discomfort may stem from deeper imbalances in the gastrointestinal system. These symptoms are often linked to conditions like irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and microbial overgrowth or infection. Our Comprehensive GI Health testing evaluates the internal environment of your gut to pinpoint the underlying causes of these issues. With precise insights into your microbiome and digestive function, we develop personalized strategies to help restore balance, reduce inflammation, and support long-term digestive wellness.

Stool testing is instrumental in identifying a range of gastrointestinal issues including infections, the presence of parasites, and conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It can also be part of a colon cancer screening process by detecting hidden blood, which may indicate serious conditions requiring further medical evaluation.
Typically, a stool sample can be easily collected at home. Patients are provided with a sterile collection kit and instructions. Once collected, the sample is sealed and transported to a laboratory for detailed analysis. This process is straightforward, non-invasive, and designed to preserve the integrity of the sample for accurate testing results.
Stool testing offers invaluable insights into your gastrointestinal health, allowing for the early detection of infections, inflammatory responses, and digestive inefficiencies. Understanding these elements supports the creation of tailored treatment plans, which can improve gut health, enhance nutrient absorption, and alleviate symptoms associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, contributing to overall health optimization.

Tests such as the Calprotectin Test and Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) are designed to measure intestinal inflammation and identify hidden bleeding. Early detection of these issues is critical for addressing underlying conditions effectively.
