"Colon Health Package"
The Colon Health Package at Raha Medical Laboratory in Riyadh gives you a clearer view of your colon and digestive health through focused lab tests that help detect signs of inflammation, infection, hidden blood loss, anemia, or digestive disorders that may require early medical attention.
This package is designed for people who experience repeated digestive symptoms such as abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, bloating, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or suspected chronic bowel inflammation.
Why Do You Need a Colon Health Package?
Colon and digestive problems can cause similar symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, or changes in bowel movements. Lab tests help your doctor understand whether these symptoms may be related to bowel inflammation, infection, hidden bleeding, anemia, or another condition that requires further evaluation.
This package helps:
- Detect early signs of colon inflammation or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Evaluate possible causes of abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss.
- Check your digestive and colon health in general.
- Help your doctor decide whether further tests or treatment are needed.
- Support the initial differentiation between IBS-like symptoms and inflammation markers that may need deeper evaluation.
IBS Package
- If you are looking for an IBS package because of symptoms such as cramps, bloating, changes in bowel habits, diarrhea, or constipation, Raha’s Colon Health Package can help your doctor rule out some inflammatory or organic causes that may mimic irritable bowel syndrome symptoms.
- These tests do not replace a doctor’s diagnosis, but they provide useful indicators that may guide the next medical step, especially if symptoms are persistent or accompanied by warning signs such as weight loss, blood in stool, chronic diarrhea, or anemia.
What Does the Colon Health Package Include?
The Colon Health Package at Raha Medical Laboratory includes 3 essential tests that help assess colon and digestive health:
- Calprotectin Test
The calprotectin stool test helps detect inflammation in the intestines. It can support the differentiation between inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, and irritable bowel syndrome, which is usually not associated with clear intestinal inflammation.
This test may also help your doctor decide whether further investigations, such as colonoscopy, are needed when chronic or concerning symptoms are present.
- Stool General Test
A general stool test is important for assessing digestive health. It can help detect infection, parasites, digestion or absorption problems, and hidden blood that may be linked to colon or intestinal issues.
This test is especially useful in cases of repeated diarrhea, abdominal pain, changes in stool color or consistency, or suspected intestinal infection.
- Complete Blood Count CBC
A complete blood count helps assess your overall health and may detect anemia, signs of inflammation, or blood cell changes that could be related to chronic bleeding, malabsorption, or inflammation in the body.
Anemia combined with ongoing digestive symptoms may require further medical evaluation to identify the underlying cause.
Who Should Consider Colon Health Tests?
The Colon Health Package may be suitable if you experience:
- Recurrent or chronic abdominal pain.
- Chronic or repeated diarrhea.
- Persistent bloating or cramps.
- Ongoing changes in bowel habits.
