Posted on Thu, 2 Mar 2017

Question: Comprehensive Stool Analysis / Parasitology x3 Results

Hi, I was wondering if someone could have a look at my results for me which I had done through Doctors Data and let me know if anything seems wrong in your eyes, and what problem(s) could be?

Brief Answer:
Actually nothing

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Thank you for posting your question on HealthcareMagic.
Have been through your stool analysis in detail .There doesn't seem to be any kind of infection .
Only abnormality which showed up was low IGA levels .
Immunoglobulin A is the first line of defence in the GI tract .Low levels could be due to protein deficiency.
Please increase protein in your diet both in food as well as dietary supplements.
Are you diabetic?
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Brief Answer:
Looks like a irritable bowel

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, the symptoms you are experiencing looks like an irritable bowel syndrome usually happens due to stress and many other contributory factors.
I would recommend Mebeverine hydrochloride it will help you ease your symptoms.
But it is a drug available only on prescription hence you have to get it prescribed.
Since you have undergone most of the tests and they appear normal only other option if Mebeverine doesn't help you we may have to go in for colonoscopy.
Hope this helps
Best wishes

Ok Thank-You.

Could it also be SIBO? (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or would thta be out of the question?

Thanks for your help.

Answered by Dr. Rahul Tawde (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Unlikely

Detailed Answer:
unlikely to be SIBO as IGA is along less if overgrowth it would have increased .
I would say it is IBS or irritable bowel syndrome.
