Hello,
Your stool test has occult blood 0-1/hpf indicating possible inflammation of your bowels. Not serious anyway. Stool examination for ova/parasites, stool culture, food intolerance tests is advised further together with colonoscopy and abdominal ultrasound. Consult with gastroenterologist as soon as possible. For the moment, increase fluids intake with ORS, take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
