Are stool tests reliable?

after two months of a volatile stomach from Flucloaxillin I got round to having a H.pylori test and a stool test, all came back clear - do you guys know what I'm clear of? I understand that IBD, CDIFF and Bacterial infection are tested, am I safe?

Depends on what test was undertaken and how many areas of your gut function were tested.

As a Registered Nutritional Therapist, I use a very comprehensive test with my clients, far more detailed than a GP uses.

The test includes; digestion, immune function (80%of your immune system resides in your gut), parasites, yeast, inflammation, bacteria, pancreatic function, dysbiosis... and much more.
