Comprehensive Stool Analysis
The Key to Optimal Health
Imbalances in gastrointestinal function can lead to both local and systemic health issues, with the gut microbiome playing a vital role in supporting overall health. Our Comprehensive Stool Analysis profile helps identify the underlying causes of acute and chronic symptoms, enabling providers to create personalized treatment plans.
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis measures key markers of digestion, absorption, and intestinal function, including a comprehensive bacteriology and yeast culture to detect beneficial, imbalanced, and dysbiotic flora. We use gold standard methods, such as PCR, to identify infectious pathogens and parasites, and perform antimicrobial susceptibility testing on cultured bacterial and fungal species to recommend prescriptive and natural agents.
MosaicDX provides many options for stool analysis to meet every patient’s needs. Learn more about our NEW GI360 Profiles

Why Conduct a Comprehensive Stool Analysis?
The Comprehensive Stool Analysis + Parasitology (CSAP) is an essential diagnostic tool that enables practitioners to assess the status of beneficial and imbalanced commensal bacteria, pathogenic bacteria, yeast/fungus, and parasites. The identification of pathogenic species and susceptibility testing assists in the selection of the most suitable pharmaceutical or natural treatment agents.
Our Comprehensive Stool Analysis test measures:
Digestion and absorption of nutrients (Pancreatic Elastase, Muscle Fibers, and Vegetable Fibers)
Elimination efficiency of undigested food residues and toxins
Assessment of the gut microbiome, measuring levels of healthy bacterial flora versus potentially pathogenic bacteria species, yeast, and parasites
Culture and sensitivities of pathogenic yeast and bacteria
Infectious pathogens (EIA evaluation for Campylobacter, Enterohemorrhagic E. coli cytotoxin, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium)
Indices and markers of intestinal immune function (Secretory IgA)
Indices and markers of inflammation (Calprotectin, Lactoferrin, and Lysozyme)
Indices and markers of intestinal physiology and of intestinal health (Presence of RBC, WBC, Mucus, Occult Blood, Fecal pH, and Short Chain Fatty Acids)
Efficient remediation of GI dysfunctions involves a comprehensive approach that includes elimination of pathogens and irritants, supplementation of hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and pre- and probiotics, and repair of the mucosal barrier.
MosaicDX provides many options for stool analysis to meet every patient’s needs.

The Comprehensive Stool Analysis test report is a useful resource for practitioner who want to uncover potential causes of gastrointestinal symptoms and chronic systemic conditions.
This test report groups the markers on the Comprehensive Stool Analysis into the following clinically important groups:
GI Pathogen Profile, Multiplex PCR; stool
Parasitology; Microscopy
Stool Chemistries

MosaicDX offers patient-friendly sample collection kits that simplify testing. Our kits include visual, step-by-step instructions for test preparation and sample collection, personalized shipping cards, and pediatric collection bags if needed. With MosaicDX, patients can easily collect samples for testing with confidence and accuracy.
Importance of Digestive Testing: Expert Insight from Kurt Woeller, DO
“It’s a common mistake to think that if a patient has no digestive symptoms, testing is unnecessary. It’s important to note, even without visible signs of digestive issues, underlying infections or indicators of inflammation could still exist.” – Kurt Woeller, DO

The ordering process for MosaicDX tests starts with your healthcare practitioner assessing your symptoms and recommending the most appropriate test.
Once a test has been recommended, collection kits can be conveniently ordered and delivered straight to your doorstep. If you already have a collection kit, you can register your test and begin the process at your convenience.
It is important to carefully follow the collection instructions and include all required information about yourself and your specimens when registering your test. When your specimens are collected, you can use the prepaid shipping materials provided in your kit to ship them to MosaicDX. Your results will be accessible online via the MosaicDX portal. We recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare practitioner to discuss your results and develop a plan for your healthcare
If you are located outside of the U.S., our customer service team can assist you in finding a distributor in your country. In countries where a distributor is not required, you can place an order through our international patient ordering site. Please note that all international shipping costs must be paid prior to shipping the kit.
Stool samples should be shipped only on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays. It is important to collect samples on two separate days, with a minimum gap of 12 hours between collections using yellow-topped vials. All four stool specimens should be shipped together within five days of the first collection.
Different states have regulations that define the scope of practice for practitioners. It is the practitioner’s responsibility to abide by these rules. Check with your state board of health to determine any restrictions related to laboratory testing. Please note, Mosaic Diagnostics does not offer testing in New York.
Once you have opened your account, you have the options of ordering kits to stock in your office or drop-ship kits directly to your patients through your MosaicDX portal.

You make also consult your healthcare provider prior to making any changes to your medications.
Visit the payment information page for an overview of payment options and procedures along with insurance coverage overview.
NOTE: Insurance coverage for testing is based on several factors such as the type of procedure, diagnosis, and insurance policy guidelines. Patients are encouraged to contact their insurance company to check for coverage and to provide the procedure codes (CPT codes) and diagnostic codes (ICD-10 codes). The CPT codes can be found on the billing information page, while ICD-10 codes are provided by the practitioner.
