Stool for Reducing Substance Price in Bangladesh

What is Stool for Reducing Substance?

A stool reducing substance test is used to detect the presence of non-digested sugars or carbohydrates in the stool, which can indicate malabsorption disorders. This test is often used to assess conditions such as lactose intolerance, celiac disease, or other gastrointestinal malabsorption syndromes.

The procedure involves collecting a stool sample, which is then tested in the laboratory for the presence of reducing substances (mainly sugars like glucose, fructose, or lactose). These substances are detected when they are not fully absorbed in the intestine and pass into the stool.

A positive result may suggest a malabsorption issue, while a negative result typically indicates normal digestion. Results are generally available within a day or two.

What to expect & how to prepare

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
