Stool Testing - Frequent Flubs

Interpreting the GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile can be complicated. Here at Genova, we do a lot of educational outreach, one-on-one consults, group consults, and we compile lots of support materials to help – support guides, report review videos, charts, and more. Even with that, some clinicians still continue to misinterpret biomarker results and draw conclusions on their own which may not be valid.

In today’s episode, we dive into some of the GI Effects’ most common interpretation mistakes to dispel the rumors and help clinicians find the best outcomes for their patients.
