With the help of the Complete Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA), we can evaluate your digestive system. It is a non-invasive tool that shares reliable information about the levels of acidity or alkalinity of your gut and your digestive enzymes. It can also be used to detect the presence of good bacteria and organisms that can cause disease. Depending on which method is more suitable for your situation, a naturopath can either use cultured methods or DNA methods to analyse your stool sample.
What will the CDSA assess?
The CDSA will assess biochemical markers of digestion. It will also measure your intestinal metabolism’s metabolic markers, identify bacterial microflora and detect if there are parasites or bacteria that can cause disease.
How is the test completed?
You can rest assured that you can complete the test in complete privacy at home. If one of the naturopaths of Brisbane Naturopath has determined that you will benefit from completing this test, he/she will give you a test kit that has everything that you will require to complete the test.
After you have completed the test, a courier will collect the sample which will be sent to a lab where it will be analysed. Your naturopath will then explain the results with you and offer the appropriate treatment to eliminate your gastrointestinal issues.
