The Essential Digestive Analysis provides an in depth analysis and overview of the components of digestion, absorption, intestinal function and microbial organisms including beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, parasites and yeasts- as seen in the General Digestive Analysis test.

The Essential Digestive analysis goes further to incorporate other elements essential to digestion including; overall bowel pH, production of short chain fatty acids, overall pancreatic function as well as other biochemical analysis of digestive health.

General
DIGESTIVE ANALYSIS
$99/test
Macroscopic Appearance

Stool colour, consistency, presence of fibres and food remnants

Microscopic Appearance

Presence of meat and vegetable fibres, starch cells, fat globules, red and white blood cells and yeasts

Parasitology 1 Sample

Identify the presence of any parasites

Culture

Detection of any pathogenic bacteria, fungal and yeast organisms including the overall balance of beneficial bacteria (e.g. Strep/Enterococci, E.Coli, Bifidobacterium spp., Lactobacilli spp. etc)

Short Chain Fatty Acids

Analyse levels of total short chain fatty acids including Acetate, Propionate and Butyrate, which are required for colonic health and overall healthy bowel function.

Biochemistry

Analyse overall digestive function including; protein digestion, bowel acidity, efficacy of absorption, pancreatic function, levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the stool.

Antimicrobal Susceptibility

If significant numbers of bacteria or fungi are detected they are tested against a range of natural antimicrobials and antifungals to determine which ones may be effective in eradicating the organism.

    General Digestive Analysis

    Recommended for monitoring treatment, identifying the presence of unfavourable organisms, gut infection, microbial imbalance, malabsorption or assessing whether probiotic supplementation is having a positive impact.

    Analysis of your digestive function and gut microbial environment including an evaluation of microscopic and macroscopic markers, such as the presence of fibres, cells and food particles. In-depth analysis of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria including the presence of parasites or yeasts.

    Essential Digestive Analysis

    Our most popular test – Recommended if you have digestive function issues and require an in-depth analysis of your gut health.


    All components of the General Digestive Analysis are included along with additional testing on biochemical markers, such as pH, breakdown and absorption of fats, carbohydrates and protein, pancreatic function and levels of short chain fatty acids (required to maintain normal bowel function).

    Comprehensive Digestive Analysis

    Select this test for a complete gut assessment and comprehensive parasitology screening.
    Our most comprehensive digestive stool test includes all components within the General and Essential Digestive Analysis tests plus a 3-day parasitology test. This increases the probability of identifying parasites as they may not be present in every bowel motion as well as testing for antimicrobial sensitivities (if bacterial organisms are detected).
