The combination of PCR, culture, and microscopic testing methods ensures that any relevant organisms are identified.
The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are co-dependent with one another and with their human host. The health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates a dysbiotic, or imbalanced, gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract. The diverse metabolic activities of the microbiome ultimately impact the human host, and the activities of the human host ultimately affect the health of their microbiome.
Systemic diseases can be linked to the GI tract, and improving the health of your gut may improve your overall health.
Specialist stool testing provides information on inflammation and how well you digest and absorb your food. Stool testing can also uncover imbalances in yeast, parasites, and the healthy and unhealthy bacteria that live in the large intestine. This bacterial population is called your microbiome.
