Product Information

Most people with gastroenteritis don’t need any tests, but sometimes your doctor may refer you for a stool culture.

There is no doubt that having to take stool samples at home are something that will escalate in the future. The invention Easy Sampler makes something, which in the eyes of many is disgusting and an extreme taboo, very hygienic and easy to perform. As national chairman of Colitis, Crohn Association, I can highly recommend the product Easy Sampler."There has been a growing interest in understanding the composition of the human gut microbiome and its linkages with all areas of health [ 1]. This has led to increased microbial community analysis, using techniques including 16 s rRNA gene sequencing, quantitative PCR, and culture-based methods [ 2, 3]. Increasingly, large-scale observational and intervention studies have aimed to collect stool specimens to provide data in this rapidly evolving field of microbiology. Jeganathan, P. & Holmes, S. P.

A colonoscopy is where a thin tube with a camera inside is passed into your bottom to look for signs of bowel cancer.

Blood can be a sign of polyps or bowel cancer. Polyps are growths in the bowel. They are not cancer, but may turn into cancer over time. Motooka, D. et al. Fungal ITS1 deep-sequencing strategies to reconstruct the composition of a 26-species community and evaluation of the gut mycobiota of healthy Japanese individuals. Front. Microbiol. 8, 238 (2017). An immunochemical faecal occult blood test, or iFOBT, is used for bowel cancer screening. It tests healthy people for blood in their faeces that may come from bowel cancer. The test can detect tiny amounts of blood that you can’t see. The aim is to find cancers early.

Risks of screening

Cancer The study also highlighted that the EU's overall expenditure on cancer drugs increased by over 200% from 2009 to 2015. This was particularly the case in Eastern Europe, in countries such as Bulgaria (increased by over 800%) and Hungary (increased by nearly 400%), and these expenses were not necessarily associated with better outcomes.
