Types of Stool Tests
Symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and chronic diarrhea can be caused by a variety of conditions. An effective way of identifying issues affecting the stomach, colon, digestive, and gastrointestinal systems is through stool testing. Lab testing on a stool sample can reveal important information that can help with a diagnosis.
A stool culture can identify bacterial infections of the lower digestive tract, including Salmonella, E. coli, Shigella, and Campylobacter. An Ova and Parasite test looks for parasitic organisms or their eggs infecting the intestines. An Occult Blood test looks for trace amounts of blood in the stool that are not visible to the naked eye, which can help diagnose conditions like ulcerative colitis, stomach cancer, and colon cancer. A Fecal Fat test looks for fats in the stool that can indicate a digestive or malabsorption disorder. Other types of tests look for specific types of infections and other issues.
