Get a GI-MAP™ kit delivered in California
California residents in eligible locations can order a GI-MAP™ Standard stool test through this online store, with the required practitioner order included. Your collection kit comes to your address, you collect at home, and Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory performs the analysis. The same ordering process serves Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Sacramento and other California communities.
There is no in-person GI-MAP collection appointment required: you collect the specimen at home. GI-MAP measures selected microbial DNA targets by qPCR and reports additional intestinal-health markers; results are not a stand-alone diagnosis. Read the sample instructions before collecting.
What to check when choosing where to order
If you are looking for a GI-MAP test near you, decide whether you need a kit with practitioner ordering or an appointment for clinical care. This service arranges the laboratory order and home collection. A personalized written practitioner review is optional and purchased separately; an in-person consultation is not included.

From ordering to results
- Order and complete the required intake. After payment, complete one intake for each person being tested before the practitioner places the lab order. Use the details of the person tested, even if someone else pays. The same intake supports any practitioner review purchased with the test.
- An authorized practitioner places the lab order. We coordinate this through an independently contracted practitioner. You do not have to arrange your own referral, but you must complete the laboratory paperwork supplied with the kit.
- Collect at home and return the sample. Follow the kit’s instructions for collection, storage, packaging and shipping. Use the supplied return waybill and retain your tracking number.
- Receive your report by email. Allow 10–16 business days for lab processing from sample receipt, followed by an additional 1–3 business days after lab release for us to process and email the report.
See the ordering guide and participant and consent terms. For medical questions or decisions about treatment, speak with a qualified healthcare professional.
California delivery and sample-return planning
Kits typically ship within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 3–5 business days after shipment in the continental U.S. Delivery and return transit are additional to laboratory processing. The estimates apply to California orders; actual timing depends on your address and carrier service.
Plan your return before collecting, particularly if you live in a rural or remote area. FedEx’s California location finder lets you look up nearby locations and contact them about your supplied return package. In areas without a nearby FedEx Office, FedEx Ship Center or authorized shipping partner, prepaid return may be unavailable and the return cost may be yours. Contact support to check your address before ordering if needed.
Follow the instructions that arrive with your kit. You can also read the laboratory’s collection and shipping instructions (PDF) and our results-delivery timeline.
California ordering questions
Is the GI-MAP test available in California?
Yes. California is within our eligible U.S. service area. Use accurate participant, shipping and laboratory-paperwork details, and review the current availability policy. Our service cannot process orders for residents of New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island, or paperwork listing addresses in those states.
Can I order without visiting a California clinic?
Yes. This is an online ordering service with home sample collection. An independently contracted, authorized practitioner places the required laboratory order on your behalf. The practitioner ordering step is included; a personalized review or in-person consultation is not included in the test price.
Can I order for my child or another person?
You must be at least 18 or order as the parent or legal guardian of the person tested. If you order for someone else, you need their permission or the legal authority to provide their information. Complete the intake using the details of the person tested, even if someone else pays. See the ordering terms.
Who handles your order?
Gi Map Test is the online storefront; U.S. orders are sold by Real Health Diagnostics USA Inc. Laboratory analysis is performed by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. Our About page explains the seller, practitioner-ordering and laboratory roles. This page covers ordering and delivery; it is not a clinical review.
