Stool Chemistries-Doctor’s Data Kit

Description

The Stool Chemistries Test Kit by Doctor’s Data is a comprehensive at-home stool analysis designed to evaluate digestive efficiency, nutrient absorption, and intestinal inflammation. This advanced test measures key biomarkers including pancreatic elastase, fecal fat, muscle and vegetable fibers, carbohydrates, calprotectin, lactoferrin, lysozyme, secretory IgA, short-chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, propionate, valerate), pH, and occult blood.

It provides critical insights into pancreatic exocrine function, maldigestion, malabsorption, intestinal permeability, and the presence of inflammation that may indicate IBS, IBD, or other gastrointestinal concerns.

Ideal for practitioners and patients seeking a deeper understanding of gut function to guide personalized treatment and improve overall digestive health.
