Subject: stay with "guaiac"...
From what I can remember working in the lab (which was a while ago), normally guaiac and heme stools are pretty much done the same way (usually smeared onto 3 cards), both looking for blood in the stool for anemia, colon cancer, etc. I would say doc is repeating herself only because one system is gastrointestinal and the other is rectal, and just keep typing what she says.
