Diagnose your sudden violent illness with our food poisoning test.

Stool Culture and Sensitivity

The stool culture is a test that detects and identifies bacteria that cause infections of the lower digestive tract. The test distinguishes between the types of bacteria that cause disease (pathogenic) and the types that are normally found in the digestive tract (normal flora). The test helps to determine if pathogenic bacteria are the cause of a person's gastrointestinal symptoms (gastroenteritis).

This test measures levels of Toxic Bacteria in your stool by taking a stool sample.

Like most digestive conditions, food poisoning is detected through a stool sample which checks for bacteria.

With our food poisoning test, you simply provide a stool sample using the included sample container. Our lab then analyzes your stool comparing and compares the levels of pathogenic bacteria to the normal ones that are found within your digestive tract. Individuals with higher than normal pathogenic bacteria are likely suffering from food poisoning or some other type of gastrointestinal infection.

Food poisoning is a foodborne illness that is caused when you ingest food that is riddled with bacteria. Some of the most common foods that cause food poisoning include:

• Raw or uncooked meat
• Food that was prepared in an unsanitary environment
• Norovirus (stomach flu)
• Salmonella (undercooked eggs and meat)
• Clostridium perfringens (occurs in areas where food is prepared in bulk)
• Campylobacter (undercooked poultry)
• E. coli.
• Listeria

While food poisoning typically passes within 48 hours, it can develop into more serious conditions. That’s why it’s essential that you use an at-home food poisoning test to check yourself.
