Fecal Analysis: What Your Stool Reveals About Gut Health

Fecal analysis is a powerful window into your gut health. By analyzing stool samples, you can learn which bacteria thrive in your gut, how diverse your microbiome is, and how these microbes metabolize foods to influence digestion and inflammation. Stool test results can reveal imbalances, nutrient-processing capacity, and signals of gut barrier function, helping you understand patterns behind symptoms like bloating, irregular bowel habits, or persistent fatigue. If you experience ongoing GI changes or unexplained symptoms, a fecal analysis can guide when to seek professional guidance. InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers advanced fecal analysis services. Its Gut Microbiome Health Index provides a 0–100 score indicating overall gut health, based on an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. The platform presents Bacteria abundances with a top-40 list and comparisons against a healthy cohort, and it categorizes bacterial metabolic functions into positive and negative groups so you can see how your microbiome stacks up across these functional pathways. Target Group analysis dives deeper into gut features relevant to specific goals—Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, Skin & Hair Health, and more. For practical guidance, the system delivers personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations linked to your stool and diary data, including which foods most impact your microbiome and which probiotic and prebiotic strains could support your objectives.
