Fecal calprotectin (the IBD-vs-IBS stool marker) is available as an optional add-on. 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. **Clinical use:** 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. ## Who should order it? 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. ## Tests included | Test | Biomarkers | Standalone price | CPT | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Comprehensive Metabolic Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) | 14 (Glucose, BUN, Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, …) | $22.99 | 80053 | | [CBC with Differential](https://www.test-well.com/tests/cbc-with-differential) | 14 (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, …) | $21.99 | 85025 | | [Celiac Disease Panel](https://www.test-well.com/tests/celiac-disease-comprehensive) | 5 (tTG-IgA, tTG-IgG, DGP-IgA, DGP-IgG, Total IgA) | $124.99 | — | | [Amylase](https://www.test-well.com/tests/amylase) | 1 (Amylase) | $21.99 | 82150 | | [Lipase](https://www.test-well.com/tests/lipase) | 1 (Lipase) | $21.99 | 83690 | ## Price by lab | Lab | Panel price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $129.99 | $135.99 | Choose at checkout | | Labcorp | $129.99 | $135.99 | Choose at checkout | ## How much does a Gut Health Panel cost?

[Calprotectin (stool)](https://www.test-well.com/tests/calprotectin-stool) can be added for IBD screening, and the [H. pylori Stool Antigen Test](https://www.test-well.com/tests/h-pylori-stool-antigen) is sold separately if ulcer disease is the concern. ### How much does the Gut Health Panel cost? 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). ### Do I need to fast? 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. ### Do I need to eat gluten before this test? 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. ### Should I add the calprotectin stool test? 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. ### What if calprotectin is elevated? 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. ## How to order 1.
