What it measures
A stool test that uses quantitative PCR (DNA-based) to report on bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens, commensal ("normal") bacteria, opportunistic bacteria, fungi/yeast and H. pylori, plus stool markers such as calprotectin, pancreatic elastase-1, secretory IgA, anti-gliadin IgA, β-glucuronidase, steatocrit and fecal occult blood, according to seller and lab descriptions. Optional add-ons offered by many sellers include zonulin.

Zonulin add-on: one peer-reviewed study (Scheffler et al., Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018) found that a widely used commercial serum zonulin ELISA did not detect pre-haptoglobin 2 (the protein identified as zonulin) and instead recognized other proteins. That study examined a serum kit; it does not necessarily describe the stool assay used on GI-MAP. Source: https://doi.org/10.3389/fendo.2018.00022

Why do GI-MAP prices vary so much?
Sellers bundle different things: some include a results review or consult, some charge separate physician or handling fees, and some are clinics selling at a patient price. The lab analysis itself is the same GI-MAP panel.
Is the zonulin add-on included?

What's included in the GI-MAP test price?
Each row is the seller's listing for the GI-MAP® (GI Microbial Assay Plus) (lab: Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory; specimen: Stool (at-home kit)).
