In case someone's interested, here's more info on the test I ordered:"(CDSA) & Parasitology 2.0 uses advanced GI biotechnology to evaluate digestion, absorption, pancreatic function, and inflammation, in addition to bacterial balance, yeast, and parasite infection. This profile features exclusive new markers for assessing irritable bowel syndrome, sub-mucosal inflammation, colorectal cancer risk, pancreatic insufficiency, and occult infection." http://www.gsdl.com/assessments/findsystems/gastro.html
