Hi,

The test result of the stool report indicates a possible bacterial infection of the gut altering the pH mechanics of the intestine flora.

However, any report correlation must be done with the symptoms of the patient only.

It would be my pleasure to assist further with more information.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
