Diarrhea is a sign that something has upset your digestive system. While it will usually go away after a day or two, it can lead to serious complications like dehydration or malnutrition if it persists. If you have severe symptoms or chronic diarrhea, see your healthcare provider. Stool testing is commonly used to diagnose diarrhea. Tests can include stool culture, a stool panel for gastrointestinal pathogens, Clostridium difficile toxin test, ova and parasite tests, fecal occult blood test, fecal fat test, stool antigen tests, fecal elastase, and fecal trypsin/chymotrypsin. Blood tests are also sometimes used to test for antibodies to specific parasites, yeast, or gluten. When stools are loose, it can be difficult to get a sample. The neatest way to do this is to use what is known as a nurse's hat, which is commonly used for collecting urine samples. If you don’t have access to a nurse's hat, you can use a disposable bowl and a plastic bag or plastic wrap. Attach the bag or sheet under the toilet seat and put a bowl inside it. Once you’ve collected the sample, you will need to transfer it to the specimen collection jar. A stool panel for gastrointestinal pathogens looks for the genetic material of bacteria, parasites, and viruses that commonly cause diarrhea.
