Lab Tests at Home
Gastrointestinal & Parasitic Infection Screen
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.
