Gut Health: Digestion & Inflammation Analysis
A clinical-grade stool analysis that shows how well you break down and absorb food, and whether inflammation, harmful bacteria, or yeast are driving your symptoms.
Digestion is where energy, body composition, and recovery start.
This panel measures the core markers of digestion, absorption, and gut inflammation so you stop guessing about indigestion, bloating, and irregularity and start fixing the mechanism. It's the essential digestive health baseline and the smart first step.

Lab work FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
How soon do I need to return my specimen samples?
Plan to complete your collection early in the work week and be sure to ship your pack within 24 hours of collection to ensure specimens are viable.
You should also note that some collection packs contain materials that expire (this date is printed on the box label). Plan to collect and return your pack well before that date or within 45 days of receiving the collection pack, whichever comes first. If the pack is not returned within this timeline, we may not be able to complete your test.
How quickly will my lab results arrive?
Your lab results will typically arrive within two weeks, though processing time may vary based on the size and complexity of your panel. Rest assured, once your results are ready, they will be securely delivered to your email.
Does Marek Diagnostics accept insurance?
Marek Diagnostics is a cash-pay service. Our platform offers direct access to comprehensive testing without the limitations, denials, or delays imposed by insurance companies. If traditional insurance covered the kind of proactive, high-quality lab work we offer, Marek Diagnostics wouldn’t need to exist.
However, many clients successfully use their HSA/FSA to cover their testing costs. Marek Diagnostics is partnered with TrueMed for convenient deployment of HSA/FSA funds at checkout.
Why can’t I order labs in New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island?
Due to state regulations, Quest services are not available to residents of NY, NJ, or RI when ordered through our platform. If your address is in one of these states, you'll be notified at checkout and won’t be able to complete your order for restricted items.
You can still purchase:
- Supplements, apparel, and other non-lab items
Not sure which items are restricted? The checkout system will alert you automatically, or you can contact our team for assistance.
