Stool Sampling 101

Stool testing has become more mainstream as a means to better understand our health and prevent major diseases, which are often discovered too late to make a good recovery. While important in health maintenance and disease prevention, colonoscopies are uncomfortable, taking several days of drinking medicine to clean out your intestines enough for a doctor to take a look inside. This has spawned a new round of tests made to collect stool samples at home using a kit. After the sample is collected, the patient simply returns the test by mail to the laboratory. We use the Genova GI Test, the most comprehensive at-home test on the market, which not only tests for major diseases but marks the presence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome, parasites, allergies, inflammation, and much more.

  • Stool testing looks for traces of blood in the stool which may indicate the presence of polyps or cancer.
  • Using the Genova GI Test, we can test for inflammatory markers, diabetes, eczema, symptoms of IBS, parasites, allergies, etc.
  • You may do the test in the comfort of your own home.

Why Test Stool?

Danger Around The Corner

InterveneMD offers Stool testing in Mt. Pleasant that allows us to detect the presence of several potential disease processes. Knowing your risk factors and having enough time to correct them is crucial to your health.

There’s Reliability in Consistency

Stool testing provides a comprehensive view of your body’s gastrointestinal tract. We encourage yearly tests in order to detect the changes that occur through diet and aging.

The Learning Curve

This testing also measures the presence of blood and irregular cells. This extensive reporting allows your provider to learn what your body needs for optimum functioning.
