Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
A stool sample will be collected from adult subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), confirmed by endoscopy and histologic examination.
Stool sample collected by a subject who have been diagnosed with IBD, IBS or other GI disorder. The stool sample is tested in a laboratory where fecal calprotectin levels are quantified.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
A stool sample will be collected from adult subjects with adult subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome meeting the Rome III criteria.
Stool sample collected by a subject who have been diagnosed with IBD, IBS or other GI disorder. The stool sample is tested in a laboratory where fecal calprotectin levels are quantified.
Other GastroIntestinal (GI) Disorders
A stool sample will be collected from adult subjects with adult subjects with gastrointestinal disorders other than IBD or IBS.
Stool sample collected by a subject who have been diagnosed with IBD, IBS or other GI disorder. The stool sample is tested in a laboratory where fecal calprotectin levels are quantified.
