A stool analysis is a series of tests done on stool sample to diagnose certain medical conditions that affect the digestive tract. These conditions can be either an infection, poor nutrient absorption in the body or even cancer. The analysis can help in identifying diseases as well as the cause of symptoms affecting the digestive tract, liver and pancreas.
