These blood and stool tests help to effectively rule out inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients with suspected Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) or unexplained chronic constipation, especially when alarm features are absent. This reduces the reliance on more invasive diagnostic procedures like colonoscopy unless specific alarm signs are present.
