Convenient stool testing offered at a lab near you
A number of issues can be diagnosed and monitored via the use of stool testing. From people suffering from a bowel disease, to those who might have ingested something contaminated or people who are susceptible to colon cancer, a stool test can answer many questions about a person’s health.
While some stool testing is used for a specific purpose, people over 50 years old are encouraged to have a routine screening done yearly to detect any evidence of colon cancer. Many people need these tests to get a better grasp of their health, whether they’re trying to detect a disease or monitor one which has already been diagnosed.
A problem occurs when people who need these tests don’t have insurance. For years, a stool test had to be ordered by a doctor who referred a patient to a testing facility. The testing facility appointment was usually made at a time and/or location convenient to the lab and the doctor, not necessarily the patient. After the sample was collected and tests run, the patient would then have to go back to the doctor for analysis of the results.
If you don’t have insurance, in the scenario above you would be paying out of pocket every step of the way; for the doctor’s visits each time and the lab work. For uninsured people, this caused a huge barrier to getting the results they needed and sometimes made it impossible. Even for people with insurance, the hassle of multiple visits to the doctor and a testing facility would be inconvenient.

As mentioned previously, if you are over 50 years old and have not had a colon cancer screening before then using our simple, easy and affordable testing service is the easiest way to get peace of mind about this issue every year.
Stool tests are also very beneficial in the diagnosis and management of diseases like Chron’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Our most affordable stool test checks for the presence of white blood cells, an indicator of possible Chron’s or UC.
Another candidate for a stool test is someone experiencing severe intestinal distress who might have ingested contaminated water or food. This testing can detect certain bacterial pathogens and help make a diagnosis.
