Brief Answer:
The stool is acidic.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The pH of your stool is slightly lower side, normal Ph being 6.4 to 6.6, means your stool is acidic.
The acidic pH indicates some indigestion or digestive problems and also seen in viral gastroenteritis. Vegetable cells and starch cells are not significant.
Nothings much to worry as it can be easily corrected. You can take antacids like pantoprazole or omeprazole. Also take laxative like lactulose syrup 10mlmat the bedtime. Drink plenty of water .
Repeat the test after one week to reassess.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
