Digestive Health Panel
This test assesses a variety of stool biomarkers such as digestion/absorption markers, gut metabolic markers, gut microbiology markers, as well as ova and parasite identification. The comprehensive stool analysis with parasitology offers a thorough look at the overall health of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
