Stool Tests, Do You Need One?


Listen Later

Stool tests can provide important information about a person's digestive and overall health. Some of the key benefits of stool tests include:

Detecting gastrointestinal disorders: Stool tests can help detect conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), celiac disease, and infection with parasites.

Identifying nutrient deficiencies: Stool tests can reveal if a person is deficient in certain nutrients, such as iron or vitamin B12, which can impact their overall health.

Screening for colon cancer: Some stool tests can detect blood in the stool, which can be an early sign of colon cancer.

Monitoring treatment effectiveness: For people with digestive disorders, stool tests can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and detect any potential complications.

Improving gut health: Stool tests can provide important information about the balance of bacteria in the gut, which can help identify imbalances and suggest ways to improve gut health.
