What is a Stool pH & Reducing Substances Test in Lucknow ?
What is Stool pH & Reducing Substances?
The stool pH and reducing substances test checks two things in a bowel movement. It measures how acidic the stool is and whether simple sugars are present. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does Stool pH & Reducing Substances measure?
Stool acidity can rise when bacteria ferment undigested carbohydrates. Reducing substances show unabsorbed sugars such as lactose. These findings help identify carbohydrate malabsorption, lactose intolerance, and some infections. Doctors use the results with symptoms like chronic diarrhea, gas, or poor weight gain.
What symptoms suggest Stool pH & Reducing Substances may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Stool pH & Reducing Substances when a patient reports hives or skin rash, nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy or watery eyes, asthma symptoms triggered by specific exposures, and digestive symptoms after eating specific foods. In Lucknow, you can book this test online with home collection available in Aminabad, Telibagh, and beyond.
