The Chronicles of our Stool

Have you been suffering from digestive issues that you just can’t seem to figure out? Have you changed your diet and lifestyle, and still aren’t seeing any changes to your discomfort? then examining your stool is probably a good place to start.

We’ve all heard the saying someone is “full of it,” the irony is our stool is actually full of answers!  From complete stool analysis we can identify diseases of the digestive tract, liver, and pancreas.  Our stool can help find the cause of symptoms affecting the digestive tract, including prolonged diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, an increased amount of gas, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating, abdominal pain and cramping, and fever.  It can screen for colon cancer, look for parasites, and find causes of infection.

A stool analysis offers insight into your gut function, which includes a more general marker of the gut microbiome including but may not be limited to ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bacteria, fungi and perhaps parasites. This stool test includes many markers that reveal how the gut is digesting food, absorbing nutrients and if it helps or hinders the detoxification process.

This comprehensive stool test gets to the ‘gut’ of the problem!
