​

The CDSA (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis) test helps practitioner catch problems early, create specific personlised  treatment plans, and reduce the chances of your symptoms coming back. It also helps practitioners decide if a more invasive procedure, like a colonoscopy, is truly necessary.

​

The CDSA test is often recommended for patients with general or unclear gut-related symptoms, such as IBS, indigestion, imbalanced gut bacteria (dysbiosis), constipation, or diarrhoea. It’s also useful for detecting yeasts, bacteria, and parasites by using both visual and chemical detection methods.

​

An added benefit of the Level 4 test is sensitivity testing. If bacteria or yeast are found in the gut, they’re tested against both natural and prescription treatments to help the doctor choose the best option for each patient. â€‹
