A member asked:
What does it mean if put refractive scfa's are not found in a stool analysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually positive: SCFA's are markers for digestion . The more in the stool the less proteins and carbs are being digested in the small intestine which is sign of malabsorption. The less in stool the more proteins, etc.. Are being digested in small intestine and not being fermented by bacteria in the large bowels.
