At-home GI-MAP™ ordering for Texas residents
Order a GI-MAP™ Standard stool test kit online for delivery to an eligible Texas address, collect your sample at home, and return it to Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. The required practitioner lab order is included. You do not need to arrange a separate clinic visit or bring a referral to use this ordering service.
The test uses qPCR to measure selected microbial DNA targets, alongside other intestinal-health markers. Results need clinical interpretation and do not independently identify the cause of symptoms. Collection takes place at home; we do not operate a walk-in testing clinic in Texas. See the collection process before collecting your sample.
Whether you live in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio or El Paso, the ordering steps below apply. For rural or remote addresses, check prepaid-return coverage with customer support before purchasing.

- GI-MAP™ Standard: $525 USD.

How to order and collect your sample
- Choose your panel and order online. After payment, complete the required intake for each person being tested before the practitioner places the lab order. Use the participant’s details even if someone else pays. If you also purchase a practitioner review, the same intake supports that service.
- We arrange the required lab order. An independently contracted, authorized practitioner places the order on your behalf. You still complete any laboratory paperwork supplied with your kit.
- Receive the kit and collect at home. Kits typically ship within 1–3 business days; continental U.S. delivery usually takes 3–5 business days after shipment. Follow the collection, storage and timing instructions supplied with your kit.
- Return the sample and keep the tracking number. Use the supplied return waybill and packaging. The laboratory processes the sample after it arrives; shipping time is separate from lab processing.
The ordering terms explain consent and purchase conditions. The full ordering guide covers the process in more detail.
Plan your sample return in Texas
Before collecting, check the return instructions and identify an appropriate shipping option. You can use FedEx’s Texas location finder to look up nearby locations and contact the location about your supplied return package. A location listing alone does not confirm that your address qualifies for prepaid return shipping.
In rural or remote areas without a nearby FedEx Office, FedEx Ship Center or authorized shipping partner, returning the sample may be at your own cost. Ask us to check your address if you are unsure. Use the instructions included with your kit; the laboratory also publishes GI-MAP collection and shipping instructions (PDF).
When your results arrive
Laboratory processing typically takes 10–16 business days from sample receipt. After the lab releases the report, allow an additional 1–3 business days for us to process and email your results. Delivery and return transit add to the total time, and these are estimates. See results delivery for the full timeline.
You can take the report to a qualified healthcare professional you already work with. The $245 optional practitioner review is separate from the practitioner ordering step included with the test.
Texas ordering questions
Can I get a GI-MAP test near me in Texas?
Yes. Texas residents can order through this online store and collect the sample at home. The kit is delivered to your address, and the sample is returned to Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. This purchase does not include an in-person clinical appointment.
Do I need my own doctor to place the order?
The required laboratory order is arranged through an independently contracted, authorized practitioner and is included in the test price. You do not need to obtain a separate referral to use this service. Medical advice and treatment decisions belong with your qualified healthcare professional.
Who can place an order in Texas?
You must be at least 18 or order as the parent or legal guardian of the person tested. Provide accurate participant and address details. Our service cannot process orders for residents of New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island, or paperwork listing addresses in those states. See our state-availability policy and terms before ordering.
