If your results are high...
- Possible causes of increased inflammation include poor levels of healthy gut bacteria, toxin exposure, and reactions to diet or lifestyle. In very high levels it may be advisable to contact your veterinary care provider

- Consider anti-inflammatory snacks (blueberries, alfalfa, apples (no seeds), carrots, pumpkin, red pepper), or anti-inflammatory targeted supplements such as fish oil.
- Consider probiotics to support healthy gut bacteria. Look for probiotics with a variety of healthy gut bacteria, referred to as multi-strain
- Reduce stress, evaluate circadian rhythms of eating, sleeping and exercise
- Set and maintain a regular schedule
- Avoid toxins such as pollutants, pesticides sprays in the house or on lawns
- Consult a veterinarian professional if associated with significant symptoms
