Presenter
In this webinar, Dr. Dan Kalish explores stool test methodology and how marker selection influences clinical insight and actionability that allows for better patient outcomes.
He will briefly review the current landscape of stool testing before focusing on how diagnostic, quantitative PCR stool testing offers actionable information for practitioners treating patients presenting with gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms.
Dr. Kalish will highlight key markers on the GI‑MAP that are commonly associated with clinical symptoms seen in practice, including:
- H. pylori and virulence factors
- Bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens
- Fungi and yeast
- Intestinal health markers, including calprotectin and the occult blood FIT test
The session will emphasize how these markers provide clinically relevant data that is necessary to uncover the root cause of symptoms and tailor targeted treatment that supports healing.
This webinar serves as an introduction to a deeper masterclass focused on understanding stool test methodologies and selecting the appropriate testing approach for different clinical applications.
