Single day stool test

This stool test includes looking at levels of common good/benficial bacteria, and an assessment for bad/pathogenic/dysbiotic bacteria, Clostridium species, and a quick screen for the presence of yeast (ie.Candida species). People with an imbalance in their microbes may experience: irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, fatigue, headaches, seasonal allergies, skin reactions, increased food allergies, vaginal symptoms, urinary tract infections, and more.

A balance of beneficial microbes in our systems has been associated with many health benefits including: decreased microbial pathogens, prevention and treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea, prevention of travelers’ diarrhea, reduction of lactose intolerance symptoms, reduction in serum cholesterol levels, increased immune system, increased neurotransmitters, better hormone function and more.

A balanced gut ecology also results in the production of nutrients such as folic acid, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, pyridoxine, biotin and vitamin K. Exposure to daily toxins, chemicals, antibiotics, hormones such as the birth control pill, processed and sugary foods, and high stress are all predisposing factors for seeing an imbalance in our bacteria. A positive result for negative bacteria or yeast may also show potential plant or prescription treatment options best suited to eradicate your microbe(s).
