Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 We had one done via our GP at the local hospital (Southport), and they did test for parasites, and, amazingly, even though they weren't fixed samples, they detected B Hominis, D Fragilis, E Histolytica and E Coli!Joanne> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi > > Anyone know what a GP stool test would test for, or are there different types of stool test that the GP can issue?> > TIA> > x> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Thanks Jo, im wondering if because it was at hospital, it might have been a better test. Just a thought? x To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe From: joanneallman@...Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:37:14 +0000Subject: Re: Stool Test We had one done via our GP at the local hospital (Southport), and they did test for parasites, and, amazingly, even though they weren't fixed samples, they detected B Hominis, D Fragilis, E Histolytica and E Coli!Joanne> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi > > Anyone know what a GP stool test would test for, or are there different types of stool test that the GP can issue?> > TIA> > x> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would have thought all stool tests ordered by the GP would be carried out at the hospital?The problem with the NHS stool tests is that they don't use fixed samples (i e no preservatives), so by the time the sample gets to the lab, it has deteriorated, making parasite detection difficult. In our case, Southport Hospital lab did detect the parasites, but I think that's probably unusual. So, there may be a lot of false negative results.We also used the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine parasitology lab http://www.parasite-referencelab.co.uk/, which uses fixed samples. They used to charge £55 (don't know if it's gone up since then), but you have to get your GP involved, as they won't release the results to patients. Our GP was happy to receive the results and pass them on to us, though we still paid for the testing.Joanne> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi > > > > Anyone know what a GP stool test would test for, or are there different types of stool test that the GP can issue?> > > > TIA> > > > x> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I wonder if the LSTH hospital would work with dr G (loads of us don't have a working relationship with our gp) Hmm... jane > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi > > > > > > Anyone know what a GP stool test would test for, or are there different types of stool test that the GP can issue? > > > > > > TIA > > > > > > x > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's a good idea, Jane!
