About This Service
What Is GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Analysis?
The Genova Diagnostics GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile with parasitology is a functional laboratory test that evaluates gut microbiome composition, digestive enzyme output (elastase, fat stain), inflammatory markers (calprotectin, lactoferrin), short-chain fatty acids, secretory IgA, yeast and fungal overgrowth, and parasitic organisms to identify the biological drivers of gastrointestinal dysfunction.
SeeBeyond Medicine uses this panel to map your gut ecosystem with precision. Where conventional testing asks "is something structurally wrong?", GI Effects asks "why are you symptomatic?" The difference determines whether you mask symptoms or address what is causing them.
Results give your physician a personalized blueprint for gut restoration. Integrative treatment targets your specific imbalances, not a generic protocol.
Conditions Treated
IBS and Chronic Bloating
Bloating, irregular bowel movements, and abdominal pain often trace to microbial imbalance rather than a structural problem. SeeBeyond Medicine uses GI Effects to identify the specific organisms and functional deficits involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
What does the GI Effects test measure?
