CPP (Culture, PCR + Parasitology)-Doctor's Data Kit:
Note: This is a home collection test kit that will be mailed to you.
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, 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.
Store specimen in refrigerator prior to shipping. Do not freeze.
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.
Please note: Parasites do not drop with every stool passing.
Description: The CPP profile is an important tool for identifying imbalances in intestinal microflora. It includes comprehensive bacteriology and yeast cultures to identify the presence of beneficial flora, imbalanced flora including Clostridium species, and dysbiotic flora, as well as 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. Parasitology testing can include one-, two- or three-day collection.
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
Yeast Culture
Viruses
