DiagnosTechs Gastrointestinal Health Panels measure the overall health and function of the gastrointestinal tract noninvasively with up to 22 separate diagnostic and screening tests of stool and saliva samples.
DiagnosTechs Gastrointestinal Health Panels address:
Pathogen screening for bacteria, yeast, and various parasites.
