Why I use Stool test in Clinic

 
 
 

I use stool testing in clinic as it gives me really good results when working with clients. Stool Profile bio markers provide comprehensive information for the development of strategic interventions.

Comprehensive Stool Profile can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.

 
 

MAIN INFORMATIONS THAT YOU WILL GET FROM DOING A STOOL TEST

Diversity:

abundance and diversity of more than 50 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to unbalanced gut bacteria and other chronic disease states.

We are looking to be in the green as generally the higher diversity of bacterial population has been associated with better overall health outcome.

Infections:

The stool test can identify the presence of 15 pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Viruses are the primary cause of acute diarrhea, and the least commonly tested. The identification of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and parasites improves treatment strategies and patient outcomes.

Candida overgrowth

Digestion and absorbtion:

Pancreatic Elastase-1 is a marker of exocrine pancreatic function.

  • Products of Protein Breakdown are markers of undigested protein reaching the colon.

  • Fecal Fat is a marker of fat breakdown and absorption.

 
 
 
 

Inflammation/Immunology:

  • Calprotectin is a marker of neutrophil-driven inflammation. Produced in abundance at sites of inflammation, this biomarker has been proven clinically useful in differentiating between Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

    Eosinophil Protein X is a marker of eosinophil-driven inflammation and allergic response.

  • Fecal Secretory IgA is a marker of gut secretory immunity and barrier function. If low this could mean that you are suffering from stress and elevated IgA means infglammation and possible food intolerance, allergies.
