What kind of tests do you offer?
BTS offers a wide range of mainly micro-biological tests for the practitioner and member of the public. From a simple stool sample BTS can test your patients for:
- intestinal candida and other fungi (full screening for all yeasts and moulds)
- pH of the stool (included in the fungal screening)
- intestinal parasites
- complete status of intestinal colonization (fungi and bacteria)
- pancreas function (elastase-1)
- leaky gut (alpha-1-antitrypsin )
- intestinal inflammation (PNM-elastase, Lysozyme)
- intestinal immune system (sIgA)
- celiac disease
- candida IgG, IgM, IgA, IgE
- helicobacter
- intestinal bleeding
- colo-rectal tumour marker
- resistance tests for pathogenic bacteria
- acute diarrhoea diagnosis
- …and much more.
Why is this candida test better?
Very often intestinal candida is only diagnosed by use of a symptom questionnaire. Unfortunately several other conditions can mimic candida symptoms. It is therefore essential to be 100% sure which condition the patient actually has. Otherwise money and time could be lost for the wrong therapy. The only scientifically correct test for intestinal candida is to take a stool sample from which a culture is prepared. This will then show the species, strain and cell count. Based on this the lab then recommends the correct anti-fungal remedy and therapy.
What does the practitioner get from BTS?
Once your patient’s sample has been received in the lab, a full analysis is prepared and translated into English. The full fungal screening (candida, all other yeasts and moulds), for example, will provide you with a cell count of the physiological intestinal bacteria, the stool-pH, a full count of all pathogenic fungi and an analysis for the representative protease to identify if the candida strain is pathogenic. You will normally get all these details + individual therapy suggestions + diet + hygiene recommendations for your patient from BTS within a fortnight after arrival of the sample.
