The Gut Health Panel provides a thorough investigation of chronic digestive symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. The Celiac Panel screens for celiac disease, an autoimmune reaction to gluten that affects 1 in 100 people but is underdiagnosed in 80% of cases. Amylase and lipase evaluate pancreatic function. The CMP and CBC provide baseline metabolic and blood health context, including anemia screening relevant to GI blood loss and malabsorption. For symptoms where inflammatory bowel disease is on the table — persistent diarrhea, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss — add the optional fecal calprotectin test below: it's the gold standard for distinguishing IBD (Crohn's, ulcerative colitis) from irritable bowel syndrome, often avoiding an unnecessary colonoscopy. This panel gives you and your gastroenterologist actionable data to guide diagnosis and treatment.
Essential GI blood workup: comprehensive celiac antibodies (with Total IgA), amylase and lipase (pancreatic function), plus CMP and CBC for metabolic baseline and anemia from GI blood loss or malabsorption. Fecal calprotectin — the IBD-vs-IBS marker — is available as an optional add-on.
Anyone with chronic GI symptoms (bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain) or unexplained weight loss. Add the calprotectin stool test when inflammatory bowel disease is a real consideration — persistent diarrhea, blood in stool, or nocturnal symptoms.

35 across 5 tests
5 individual tests · 35 biomarkers measured — each test linked so you can learn more.
No fasting required. You must be eating gluten regularly for at least 2–3 weeks for accurate celiac results. If you add the calprotectin test, a stool collection kit is provided at the lab.
What can throw off this result
Physician-reviewed “Before your test” pages — what each factor does, for how long, and what to do about it.
A Gut Health Panel costs $129.99 at TestWell — $135.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

5 blood tests: the Celiac Disease Panel (the most underdiagnosed cause of chronic GI symptoms), Amylase and Lipase for pancreatic function, plus CMP and CBC for metabolic baseline and anemia screening. Calprotectin (stool) can be added for IBD screening, and the H. pylori Stool Antigen Test is sold separately if ulcer disease is the concern.
TestWell charges $129.99 — the same 5 tests run about $232 at Quest Direct and $600+ at GI clinics. The optional calprotectin stool add-on is $189.99 (vs $249 at Quest Direct).
No fasting required. The important preparation is gluten: keep eating it before celiac testing (see below). If you add calprotectin, the lab provides a stool collection kit at your visit.
Yes — the celiac antibodies need active gluten exposure to be positive. If you've gone gluten-free, eat 1-2 servings of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before testing, or you'll get a false-negative celiac result.
Add it if your symptoms include persistent diarrhea, blood or mucus in stool, nocturnal bowel movements, or unexplained weight loss — the presentations where inflammatory bowel disease needs to be ruled out. Calprotectin is the gold-standard non-invasive IBD screen and can spare you an unnecessary colonoscopy. For bloating-dominant or constipation-dominant symptoms without alarm features, the base panel is usually the right start.
Calprotectin >50 mcg/g suggests inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or ulcerative colitis) and warrants GI consultation for colonoscopy. <50 mcg/g effectively rules out IBD and points toward functional disorders like IBS.
Gut Health Panel results are typically ready in 3–7 business days after your draw at Quest or Labcorp. TestWell emails you the moment they post, and your results dashboard shows each marker against its reference range with a plain-English explanation.
Peptides and GLP-1s, dehydration and keto and high-protein diets can change a Gut Health Panel result without anything being wrong. Peptides and GLP-1s can lower Glucose and can raise Amylase and BUN — expected treatment effect — A1c is the monitoring marker, not a reason to stop. Dehydration can raise BUN and Hemoglobin and 2 more markers on this test — hydrate normally; water is allowed during a fast. Keto and high-protein diets can raise BUN and Creatinine and can lower Sodium and Glucose — A high BUN with normal creatinine and eGFR reflects protein intake, not kidney damage. Each factor is covered on our physician-reviewed "Before your test" pages; when one applies, the fix is usually to remove it and retest.
