Comprehensive stool testing can be helpful in determining the root cause of a variety of digestive disorders.    Dr. King offers the Genova GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile because  of its broad range of markers that can tell a patient how well they are:

• Breaking down and absorbing food
• If there is inflammation and if so, what kind
• What are the metabolites that their microbiome is making (SFCA profile)
• PCR and culture of bacteria, parasites, and yeast
• PCR of 25 important commensal bacteria
• Bacterial abundance

Once functional imbalances and digestive and microbiome deficiencies have been identified they can be successfully treated and the microbiome can be properly fed to maximize digestive health.
