Why use stool testing?
 

Gastrointestinal (GI) function is important for general health.

This includes balancing beneficial microbial flora in the gut to enhance health benefits. GI health is key in digestion, nutrient usage, and ridding the body of waste and pathogens.

Poor digestion and malabsorption can lead to immune dysfunction, nutritional insufficiencies, and various disease states. Poor GI function can also lead to food allergies and other toxicities. 

 

Your intestinal tract contains significant amounts of bacteria, some beneficial, some neutral, and some that can be harmful.

It is essential to know the microbial balance of your GI tract, especially if you have chronic health problems.

Health enhancing intestinal bacteria serve to prevent the overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria in the gut.
