Comprehensive Stool Analysis (CSA+P) (CSAP) + Parasitology-Doctor's Data Kit - Test of the Month:
Note: This is a home collection test kit that will be mailed to you.
Coupon Codes not valid for this testing.
Fasting Required: No
Lab: Doctor's Data
Specimen: Stool
Results: Average processing time 6-8 business days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Special Instructions:
2 weeks before collection discontinue the following: Antibiotics, antiparasitics, antifungals (including creams), or probiotic supplements, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and Bismuth.
2 days before collection discontinue the following: Aspirin and other NSAIDs, digestive enzymes, laxatives (particularly mineral oil, castor oil, and glycerin enemas/suppositories), activated charcoal, betaine HCl, antacids or bentonite clay.
Do not collect samples when there is active bleeding from hemorrhoids or menstruation. Wait at least 4 weeks from a colonoscopy or barium enema before collecting.
Do not contaminate the stool with urine or water.
Please note: Parasites do not drop with every stool passing.
If performing the three-day collection, the stool specimens must be collected on three separate days. It is preferable, but not necessary, to collect on consecutive days but the final collection must be made within seven days of the first.
Description: Gastrointestinal complaints are among the most common in medical care. The CSAP profile helps pinpoint the causes of gastrointestinal symptoms and chronic systemic conditions, and measures key markers of digestion, absorption and inflammation. It contains comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures to identify the presence of beneficial flora, imbalanced flora including Clostridium species, and dysbiotic flora, as well as the detection of infectious pathogens and parasites by PCR and other gold standard methods. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also performed for appropriate cultured bacterial and fungal species at no additional charge.
Kit includes a one-, two- or three-day parasitology collection option and is up to the discretion of patient/practitioner preference.
Results Include:
Bacteriology Culture
Bacterial Susceptibilities Yeast Susceptibilities
Additional Biomarkers Available for add-on at additional cost:
