To All:

As many Members already know from our discussions on the Weekly Live-Video Meetups, I have undertaken a project to review and compare four of the leading providers of PCR-based stool test kits.  The project had two simple goals:

1. Provide physical information about each test (kit contents, collection procedure, cost, strains tested etc.).

2. Compare the results of each test.  Theoretically, because each test uses PCR (actual bacterial DNA), they should all provide similar results.

My process was simple:

1. Order tests kits from from Genova Diagnostics (GI Effects Comprehensive Stool Profile), Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory (GI-Map), Verisana Lab (Gut Health Stool Test), and Viome (Gut Intelligence).

2. Submit samples from a common stool specimen simultaneously collected and submitted as directed in each stool test kit.

Here is a brief graphic and text description of each test kit.

Price: $359 List, $287.20 Professionals (what I paid), added Zonulin test for additional $64.

Please do.  Part of the reason for reporting on these tests is to provoke discussion!

I-Man:

Yes, see GI-Map report above.  Both the zonulin and sIgA disagree with the Verisana results.

No, I purposefully waited until after the tests to begin my Candibactin SIBO regimen so as not to affect the sample.

I just got my Viome Gut Intelligence report back.  Looks like some good diversity, but so many other things come back negative.  Is this the place to post it for comment?

My guess is they don’t look for everything, and only track certain species. I am waiting for my results from them too, and this will give a good base to compare

Thanks, HH.
Since my primary has no suggestions and my gastro canceled me, I am left to my own devices to try to find answers. I am currently trying to find a lab that will take liquid stool for analysis.
