Stool Analysis Testing
When something is malfunctioning in your body, it is conditioned to alert you in different ways. This is particularly true when it comes to the extensive bacterial ecosystem that lives and works within the gastrointestinal tract. With a full stool analysis, our job is to help you understand the complexities of your gut, from dietary sensitivities and intolerances to illnesses, syndromes, and other hidden conditions.
Find Out What’s Causing your Different Symptoms
Dr. Khan, with the support of the experienced staff at Internal Healing and Wellness MD have been treating residents of Greater Houston and The Woodlands who suffer from digestive problems for years. Gastrointestinal conditions account for the majority of doctors’ visits. Unfortunately, the causes of these problems are frequently overlooked in favor of treating the symptoms.
The first steps in obtaining an accurate picture of your gastrointestinal state are detailed profiling and stool analysis. This allows the functional medicine doctors to determine what's causing a variety of digestive problems, as well as examine critical indicators linked to digestion, inflammation, and metabolism. The specialists at our facility can also use microbiological stool testing to assess the state of your intestinal bacteria and detect diseases, parasites, yeast, and viruses.
Parasitic Evaluations
Parasites are likely to establish themselves and take up space in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a variety of illnesses. Parasitic evaluation can detect and diagnose pathogens, and aids in deciding on the best course of medication.
Bacterial Culture
A bacterial suspension analysis can be used to monitor intestinal flora abnormalities as well as analyze the health of your microbiome. It can also aid in the detection of harmful germs or infections.
Yeast Cultures
Excessive yeast levels in the stool can indicate specific digestive issues. This type of diagnosis might also help establish a therapy for dealing with persistent digestive issues.
