Gastrointestinal infections are viral, bacterial or parasitic infections that cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract involving the stomach, small intestine and colon. Typical symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
The chance of a positive finding increases when the sample is taken on a day that there is an increase in complaints. Parasites have a cycle. Every few days they will multiply massively and will be excreted. This creates a mushy stool. On this day the presence of parasites in the faeces is easier to demonstrate.
The way one collects the stool plays a role. It is best to place a paper plate in the toilet, this way one can collect a dry sample.
You use this panel if, should anything be found, you want to go to your GP or MDL doctor with it. If you would like treatment from a complementary colon therapist as a follow up, we recommend doing an RP test. https://www.bloodtesting.nl/gezondheidsscreening-darm-rp.html
