Digestion & Gut Inflammation Stool Test
Also known as: Stool chemistry panel
Also searched as: calprotectin test · elastase stool test · stool inflammation test · secretory IgA test
How well you're digesting, how inflamed your gut is, and how strong its immune defenses are.
This stool panel skips the organisms and focuses on function: pancreatic enzyme output, fat digestion, gut inflammation, gut immunity, and the short-chain fatty acids your beneficial bacteria make to feed the gut lining. You may also see it called "calprotectin test", "elastase stool test", or "stool inflammation test".
