Evaluates
stool for presence of parasites and levels of beneficial flora, imbalanced
flora, pathogenic bacteria, and yeast. For patients with abdominal
pain, chronic diarrhea, and other GI-related symptoms.
Parasites, can be an underlying cause
of many symptoms. Many Americans are
inflicted with parasites and are not
even aware that they have them, as they
may be microscopic in size. They
can cause health problems ranging from
dry itchy skin, constipation, diarrhea,
gas and bloating, abdominal cramps or
pains, chronic fatigue, re-occurring
headaches, body aches and more. If you
have 2 or more of these symptoms, you
may want to test for parasites. This
test combines the CDSA (complete gastrointestinal
test see CDSA Test above) with the 3
stool sample parasitology test.

Comprehensive Parasitology Profile uses the most technologically
advanced procedures to accurately identify a wide range
of protozoal parasites, including amoebae, flagellates,
ciliates, coccidia and microsporidia. Specimens are carefully
analyzed by highly trained technicians using computer-enhanced
video microscopy, new staining procedures, and advanced
