A targeted diagnostic panel engineered to evaluate gut inflammation, detect parasitic infections, identify bacterial pathogens, and screen for H. pylori—all managed through convenient at-home sample collection.

Overview Highlights

  • Comprehensive Gut & Inflammatory Biomarkers Tested
  • At-Home Stool & Blood Sample Collection
  • Licensed Nurses & Accredited Lab Partners
  • No Fasting Required (Special Medication Rules Apply)
  • Results Delivered Within 24 to 48 Hours

What Is Measured

Gut Inflammation & Active Infection Markers (3 Parameters)

  • Stool Calprotectin (Intestinal Inflammation Marker)
  • Stool Culture & Sensitivity (Bacterial Pathogens)
  • Stool H. pylori Antigen

Stool Routine & Parasitic Microscopy (15 Parameters)

  • Physical & Chemical: Color, Consistency, Mucus, Visible Blood, Occult Blood (FOBT), pH, Reducing Substances
  • Microscopic: Ova/Cysts (Parasites), RBCs, WBCs (Pus Cells), Yeast Cells, Fat Globules, Starch Granules, Vegetable & Muscle Fibers

Complete Blood Count / Systemic Response (22 Parameters)

  • Total WBC Count & Eosinophils (% & Absolute Count for Parasitic/Allergic Response)
  • Hemoglobin (Hb), Hematocrit (HCT/PCV), RBC Indices, & Platelet Parameters

Related Symptoms

  • Persistent diarrhea, loose stools, or unexplained constipation
  • Abdominal cramping, bloating, excess gas, or stomach discomfort
  • Burning sensation in upper abdomen, nausea, or acid reflux
  • Presence of mucus or visible blood in stool
  • Unexplained weight loss, chronic fatigue, or post-meal urgency

Clinical Indications & Benefits

  • Evaluates intestinal inflammation (Stool Calprotectin) to differentiate Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Identifies bacterial, parasitic, or fungal gastrointestinal infections via culture and microscopy
  • Detects active H. pylori stomach infection and systemic inflammatory responses (Eosinophil count)

Patient Preparation

  • Collect a fresh stool sample in the provided sterile container and submit within 2 hours of passing
  • Avoid antibiotics, antacids, or antidiarrheal medications for 1–2 weeks prior to testing where clinically possible
  • Plain water intake permitted and encouraged

Samples are collected at home by trained clinical staff and processed through an accredited laboratory, with a physician available to talk you through the results.
