Digestive issues such as persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, or unexplained fatigue may be linked to gut infections.

By identifying the source of infection, this stool-based test supports timely treatment and recovery.

Gastrointestinal pathogens are a leading cause of both acute and chronic digestive symptoms, often overlooked without precise testing. Early detection helps prevent complications, guides appropriate treatment, and reduces the risk of transmission to others.
