Complete Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA)

About The Test

CDSA provides a thorough evaluation of gut health by analysing digestive function, microbiome balance, and potential infections. CDSA helps uncover root causes and supports personalised treatment strategies to optimise digestion and overall wellbeing.This test assesses pH, beneficial bacteria, harmful pathogens, yeast, inflammation markers, and digestive enzyme activity, offering insights into conditions like bloating, IBS, food intolerances, and chronic gastrointestinal issues. After ordering, you will receive a test kit at your home.

How it works:

1. To order the test – contact me via 0423 542 532 or info@naturopathkelli.com.au to discuss which level of CDSA testing is suitable for you. There are a couple of different options and the prices start from $260.00
2. Receive a test kit – after paying for the test kit directly to the lab you’ll receive a test kit with step-by-step guidance on how to do it.
3. Post your sample to the lab. Typical processing time is approximately 14 days.
4. I’ll contact you via phone or email to book a consultation and discuss your results. (Note: The report discussion consultation is separately $125.00 for a 60-minute session.)
5. You’ll receive your results by email before the consultation, so you have time to review them.
6. We’ll have a Telehealth consultation to go through your results in detail.
7. You’ll begin following your supplements and/or food recommendations if required.
8. We’ll also discuss whether any further consultations are needed.

Who Benefits

CDSA is beneficial for anyone experiencing ongoing digestive or gut-related symptoms — especially when the root cause isn’t clear. It provides a detailed look at how well your digestive system is functioning and helps identify imbalances that may be contributing to broader health concerns.

People who may benefit include those with:

Bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort or cramping
Constipation or diarrhoea
Reflux or heartburn
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Food intolerances or sensitivities
Chronic fatigue or low energy
Brain fog or poor concentration
Skin conditions such as eczema, acne, or rashes
Recurring infections or weakened immune function
Autoimmune conditions
Mood imbalances such as anxiety or depression (gut-brain connection)

This test is also useful for people who’ve tried many dietary or supplement changes without much success and want deeper insights into what’s really going on in their gut. It can guide a more targeted, personalised treatment plan based on what your body actually needs — not guesswork.

What Is Tested

This comprehensive test provides valuable insights into your gut health by assessing:

pH levels – to understand your gut environment
Microscopic and macroscopic markers – to detect signs of inflammation, infection, or damage
Digestive and absorption markers – to assess how well your body is breaking down and absorbing nutrients
Beneficial bacteria – to evaluate levels of healthy gut flora
Pathogenic bacteria – to detect harmful bacteria that may cause illness
Opportunistic and dysbiotic bacteria – to identify imbalances that may contribute to symptoms
Yeast and fungi – to check for overgrowths like Candida
Parasites – to identify any intestinal parasites that may be affecting your health
Inflammation markers – to detect signs of irritation or immune activation in the gut
Digestive enzyme activity – to assess how well your body is digesting food

In addition, the report provides personalised recommendations for herbs and supplements that may help manage harmful microbes and restore balance in your digestive system.

Results

Based on the test findings, clients may be recommended specific supplements, herbs, or dietary changes.

Some people notice improvements within the first week, while for others it may take several months, depending on the complexity of each case.
