Technology has improved dramatically

Technology for detecting parasites and other pathogens has improved dramatically since 2013. This PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test looks for the genetic fingerprint of a wide range of pathogens. This is a far more sensitive test than the old fashioned technique of looking through a microscope.

There are many possibilities of where these parasites may come from including:

contaminated waterways or swimming pools
eating uncooked or unwashed contaminated fruit and vegetables
bathroom fixtures
nappy changing tables
sexual contact

The use of drugs to lower stomach acid is also believed to increase the risk of a gut parasite.

What's included

This test is used to measure bleeding in the digestive tract. It can measure tiny traces of blood in the stool, and can indicate the presence of disease at a relatively early stage when stools may appear normal.

Unlike a blood test, a stool test can tell you if you currently have h.pylori bacteria in your stomach and thus have an active infection. If you would prefer a breath test you can order this here https://www.i-screen.com.au/tests/helicobacter-pylori-breath-test.
