Stool sample collection

How many samples do I need to submit for the test?

Do I have to take the samples on three different days or can the samples be taken on the same day?

How do I get a sample?

Do I take two samples from the same stool?

What if I have diarrhea? How can I take a sample?

If I only have a bowel movement once every three days will the first two samples still be good?

Is it all right if the stool is in urine or water when I take the sample?

Will bowl cleaner affect the sample?
