The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA)™ is a comprehensive look at the overall health of your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This is a non-invasive evaluation of your gastrointestinal function. This test provides clinical information that can be immediately used to treat your GI problems.
An Imbalanced Gastrointestinal Health Can Cause:
An Imbalanced Gastrointestinal Health Can Cause:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) can be the result of maldigestion, malabsorption, dysbiosis, and/or inflammation
- Maldigestion can result in GI symptoms such as gas, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea
- Chronic maldigestion can lead to bacterial/fungal overgrowth and alterations in gut permeability. Toxins and large molecules that escape the intestinal barrier can enter the general circulation, inflame the liver, burden the body’s detoxification system, and increase the risk for food allergies, joint disease, and imbalances in overall health.
- Malabsorption can lead to deficiencies of nutrients, proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. This can result in long term health complications such as anemia, malnutrition, impaired metabolism and other diseases, such as osteoporosis.
- Chronic dysbiosis can lower the levels of beneficial short chain fatty acids and alter bacterial metabolic activity, thereby increasing the risk of carcinogenesis, hormonal imbalance, and GI inflammation
- Altered GI immune function and exposure to bacterial pathogens can lead to diarrhea, mucosal inflammation, intestinal permeability, toxin production, and auto-immune disorders
