Comprehensive Stool Analysis with Parasitology
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis detects the presence of pathogenic yeast, parasites, and bacteria, which could be contributing to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction — now with 14 new pathogen markers! It provides information about prescription and natural products that may be effective against specific microorganism strains detected in the sample. The test also evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health (presence of occult blood, short-chain fatty acids analysis, pH, mucus, and other criteria), and markers for inflammation.
