What does a stool test detect?

Stool analysis can detect bacterial infections, parasites (giardia, amoeba, worms), inflammatory bowel disease (calprotectin), malabsorption (fat, starch), occult bleeding, and digestive function.

How do I collect a stool sample?

Follow the collection kit instructions. Collect in a clean container, avoid urine contamination, and deliver within the specified time (usually within 2 hours for best results).

When should I avoid certain foods before stool test?

For occult blood testing, avoid red meat, beets, and certain medications (NSAIDs, vitamin C) 2-3 days before. Your doctor or lab will provide specific instructions.
