Learn what a Genova Diagnostics comprehensive stool test measures, why your clinician ordered it, and how results can guide care. This short patient video explains the microbiome, digestion and absorption markers, inflammation, and potential contributors to symptoms like IBS (constipation, diarrhea, bloating)—including parasites, yeast, bacterial imbalances, and food reactions. You’ll also see how gut health connects to mood, skin, and metabolic health (insulin resistance, diabetes). Plus, we cover the basics of how to collect and ship your stool sample.
