    Stool Testing

    Stool tests can reflect digestion, gut inflammation, and organisms passing through—results vary day to day.

    • Digestion/absorption clues
    • Inflammation in the gut
    • Bacteria/parasites
    • Blood markers
    Good to know
    • Results vary day to day
    • Reflects what passed through—not the entire gut
    • Needs symptom context and correlation with other labs
