Complete Digestive Stool Analysis

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has had a complete digestive stool analysis and if it was worth it? 

I have had ongoing issues with IBS symptoms / Leaky Gut or Candida since going gluten free 4 years ago.  I am not 100% sure what I have an I have been taking l-glutamine, probiotics, digestive enzymes and nothing seem to really help.  I am thinking the stool analysis might give me some answers.

Thanks

Lisa

I have been told it might be helpful for me, but is expensive.  My physician and I are trying to do without it.

I have been told its about $300 AUD.  I am thinking at least if I know exactly what I am dealing with I can begin to heal.

yes, it is worth it.  get it done by a doc that can prescribe meds.  I had one done, it showed candida 2+, doc prescribed Nystatin, and finally after many many months, my LGS is beginning to heal.

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...
