A Comprehensive Stool Analysis with Parasitology options (CSA- P) is a valuable tool in assessing digestive health. This can be particularly useful in challenging cases where everything appears "normal" on regular medical screening but symptoms are not being resolved.

CSA with Parasitology assesses the following:

• Status of beneficial bacteria in the system (probiotics - pro bacteria)
• Status of pathogenic bacteria
• Yeast/fungus growth (Candida albicans)
• Parasite and ova presence
• Digestion markers elastase, fat, muscle and vegetable fibers, and carbohydrates in the stool
• Inflammatory biomarkers such as lysozyme, lactoferrin, white blood cells and mucus

If you are suffering from any of the following symptoms you may benefit from a comprehensive stool analysis. All assessment and treatment options will be discussed with Dr. Watkins in the initial consultation and the decisions are always made together to the patients comfort level.

• Irregular bowel movements: diarrhea, constipation, alternating or alone
• Gas
• Bloating
• Stomach pain and discomfort
• Mucus or blood in the stool
• Weight loss
• Fatigue, lack of energy
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Changes in skin, hair, nails
