GI MAP (GI Microbial Assay Plus), Stool - DHA Laboratory Test Kit

Quantitative PCR DNA technology run by Diagnostic Solutions, a specialty GI laboratory, with an FDA-cleared gastrointestinal pathogen panel included. Parasite targets are detected by species-specific DNA, not visual exam.

Directly detects parasite DNA for ten organisms, including Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, and Giardia, which is exactly what a parasite screening test should measure.

Ten parasite targets cover common protozoa and related organisms, but parasites are one section of a larger GI panel and the test does not name every possible intestinal parasite.

The price of $372.00 is published with a live checkout on the product page. Turnaround of 2 to 3 weeks is stated before purchase, so the terms are clear.

Results identify the organisms detected, but the page does not clearly describe clinician review or how results are explained to buyers.

The target organism list, method, performing lab, turnaround, and price are all published on the product page.

An at-home stool kit is ordered online with live checkout. The patient-direct program partners buyers with an authorizing physician, and no state exclusions are published on the page.

Stool test results are sensitive health data handled by a specialty lab. The page does not clearly state how long results are kept or whether data is shared.
