DAGNOSTIC TESTING
“If you are not testing then you can only be guessing!”
When it comes to diagnostic tests, these are the most common I order. All pricing below is based on December 2024 data. The pricing can change at any time. Please call for current pricing.
GI Map w/Zonulin (most often and especially if H. pylori is suspected)$362
The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested. This test also includes an add-on for the leaky gut marker zonulin.
GI Effects® Comprehensive Profile – 3-day (primarily if parasites are suspected, especially pinworms) $439
GI Effects® is a comprehensive assessment of complete gut health, assessing the root cause of most GI complaints. A combination of PCR, culture, and microscopic testing methods ensures any and all relevant organisms are identified. Data-driven analysis is based on our database of hundreds of thousands of complete stool profiles.
Genova’s 3-hour SIBO breath test is a non-invasive breath test that captures exhaled hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4) gases following patient ingestion of a lactulose solution to evaluate bacterial overgrowth of the small intestine.
Organic Acids Test $277 (Guide Book)
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s health with 76 markers. It provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The causes of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, and genetic factors.
Dutch Complete $300 – International $275
The Dutch Complete™ is our flagship product. This test is a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. It also includes the daily, free cortisol pattern, organic acids, melatonin (6-OHMS), and 8-OHdG.This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
Dutch Plus $325 – International $350
The DUTCH Complete™ looks at the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol and the total and distribution of cortisol metabolites. The DUTCH Plus® adds the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to bring another important piece of the HPA axis into focus.
New patient blood work is done through Labcorp for $266-$400
Here is an example of my ‘basic’ new patient blood work-up. If warranted, additional biomarkers can be added (insulin, magnesium RBC, B1, vitamin C, CoQ10…). Testing is critical to me. I’m a detective, and the more clues I have, the easier I can solve a case. Without clues, it’s almost impossible for me to do my job correctly.
