In the absence of testing, the treatment plan is tailored to address suspected contributors based on the presence of specific signs and symptoms and their degree of correlation with those contributors. If testing is undertaken, the assessment will be re-evaluated in accordance with the test results. You will be updated with the test results alongside any treatment revisions necessary.
A stool analysis kit will be dispatched directly to you, accompanied by detailed written instructions outlining appropriate sample collection procedures to ensure specimen integrity and accuracy of results.
The kit includes all necessary collection materials and a prepaid return package to facilitate secure transport back to the laboratory for processing.
To minimise transit delays and preserve sample stability, collection is to be completed on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday only, thereby avoiding weekend postage interruptions.
