Functional medicine works best when you can link physiology to practical nutrition changes. Now you can add the IgG Food Antibodies Bloodspot at the point of purchase with your core panels GI Effects, Metabolomix+, or Organix. Collected the same week, the IgG profile identifies delayed, IgG-mediated food responses while your primary panel maps the terrain. The result is a focused elimination and reintroduction plan on day one, not week six. Purchasing IgG as an add-on also provides a cost savings.

Comprehensive stool testing is a cornerstone of root-cause analysis. But when does it make sense to add H. pylori testing and when might it be unnecessary? With far-reaching implications beyond the stomach, Helicobacter pylori is one of the most clinically relevant pathogens that can be added.

In the rapidly evolving world of microbiome testing, clinicians are frequently faced with bold claims about emerging technologies. While it's tempting to view newer methods like shotgun sequencing as the "best stool test," the reality is more nuanced. If you're searching for the most reliable way to assess gut health, the key question is: which combination of methodologies gives you both accuracy and clinical relevance? At Genova Diagnostics, we understand there isn't a single methodology currently available that captures the complete picture of gut health. That's why we combined the strengths of multiple advanced technologies for the most relevant insights possible.

If you've ever ordered comprehensive stool testing, you've likely heard patient hesitation: "Fill up three tubes with stool? For three days? Isn't there an easier way?" Historically, the three-day collection process was designed to maximize parasite detection, especially for parasites with intermittent shedding patterns. While effective, it could be cumbersome for patients and sometimes lead to incomplete or incorrect collections. The impact of choosing the right collection timeframe is important, as patients are 28% more likely to complete a 1-day collection compared to a 3-day. And when it comes to clinical decision-making, having actionable data from a completed test is far better than having no results at all.
