PARASITE LAB TESTS

The Genova GI Effects Comprehensive Profile is an at-home stool test that provides a detailed view of digestion, inflammation, gut immunity, microbiome balance, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. It measures key markers such as pancreatic function, calprotectin, secretory IgA, hidden blood, short-chain fatty acids, and beta-glucuronidase to help identify factors affecting gut health and guide personalized care.
