What it measures

Lab: Various (Labcorp, Quest, Genova, Doctor's Data) · Specimen: Stool (at-home kit or lab drop-off)
Evidence level: Established
NICE recommends faecal calprotectin testing as an option to support clinicians in distinguishing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adults with recent-onset lower GI symptoms when cancer is not suspected, and in children with suspected IBD referred for specialist assessment, with quality-assured pathways.

Where is the sample collected?
Some tests are at-home kits; Labcorp OnDemand collects at a Labcorp location.
Why do prices differ so much?
Sellers set their own prices for the same lab's kit and may bundle practitioner authorization, consultations, shipping or add-ons. The table shows the price and any separately listed fees as posted on each seller's public page on the date checked.
