A few more things about GI Pathogen Testing and the Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis.
Ideally, it would be great to do the GI Pathogen Screen from BioHealth and the Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (from Great Plains, or other lab) together. Short of the PCR analysis offered by some labs (but often too sensitive for detection), combining these two profiles would provide significant information with overall digestive health and pathogens. If a patient can afford to do both then this is a great route to go.
Unfortunately, as practitioners we are often challenged with having to make a decision regarding which stool test to do for a given patient. Hopefully, my previous post will help with that decision making.
Again, please feel free to post us your questions, patient scenarios, etc. and we can work together to determine the best options for testing.
Sincerely,
Dr. Woeller
