The Key to Optimal Health

Imbalances in gastrointestinal function can lead to both local and systemic health issues, with the gut microbiome playing a vital role in supporting overall health. Our Comprehensive Stool Analysis profile helps identify the underlying causes of acute and chronic symptoms, enabling providers to create personalized treatment plans.

The Comprehensive Stool Analysis measures key markers of digestion, absorption, and intestinal function, including a comprehensive bacteriology and yeast culture to detect beneficial, imbalanced, and dysbiotic flora. We use gold standard methods, such as PCR, to identify infectious pathogens and parasites, and perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing on cultured bacterial and fungal species to recommend prescriptive and natural agents.

Sample Reports

The Comprehensive Stool Analysis test report is a useful resource for practitioner who want to uncover potential causes of gastrointestinal symptoms and chronic systemic conditions.

This test report groups the markers on the Comprehensive Stool Analysis into the following clinically important groups:

  • GI Pathogen Profile, Multiplex PCR; stool
  • Parasitology; Microscopy
  • Stool Chemistries
  • Bacterial Susceptibilities to Natural Antibacterials & Prescriptive Agents

Why Conduct a Comprehensive Stool Analysis?

The Comprehensive Stool Analysis + Parasitology (CSAP) is an essential diagnostic tool that enables practitioners to assess the status of beneficial and imbalanced commensal bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, yeast/fungus, and parasites. The identification of pathogenic species and susceptibility testing assists in the selection of the most suitable pharmaceutical or natural treatment agents.

Our Comprehensive Stool Analysis test measures:

  • Digestion and absorption of nutrients (Pancreatic Elastase, Muscle Fibers, and Vegetable Fibers)
  • Elimination efficiency of undigested food residues and toxins
  • Assessment of the gut microbiome, measuring levels of healthy bacterial flora versus potentially pathogenic bacteria species, yeast, and parasites
  • Culture and sensitivities of pathogenic yeast and bacteria
  • Infectious pathogens (EIA evaluation for Campylobacter, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli cytotoxin, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium)
  • Indices and markers of intestinal immune function (Secretory IgA)
  • Indices and markers of inflammation (Calprotectin, Lactoferrin, and Lysozyme)
  • Indices and markers of intestinal physiology and of intestinal health (Presence of RBC, WBC, Mucus, Occult Blood, Fecal pH, and Short Chain Fatty Acids)

Efficient remediation of GI dysfunctions involves a comprehensive approach that includes elimination of pathogens and irritants, supplementation of hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and pre- and probiotics, and repair of the mucosal barrier.
