Digestion | Lipid Biomarkers

Triglycerides, LCFAs, cholesterol, and phospholipids measured in a stool test can aid in providing insight into fat digestion and absorption. Higher levels of intact triglycerides, for example, may suggest that fat was not broken down appropriately, potentially pointing to maldigestion from insufficient pancreatic lipase. Moreover, higher levels of free long-chain fatty acids may suggest that fat was digested but not absorbed; this can occur for a variety of reasons involving the intestinal lining and more.

These markers are part of a broader GI and digestive health picture.

Let me know how I can help in the comments.
