Had a telephone consultation today with the gastric doctor he wants me to have a stool test and blood test, I can’t remember what the stool test is for. Had a FIT test in January which thank god was negative. Any idea what the stool test is for. Thanks

The stool test is normally for calprotectin which is an inflammation marker, although it could be for blood or parasites as well.
