Gastrointestinal testing refers to a group of lab tests used to evaluate digestive health and investigate symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation. A GI workup often combines blood tests that assess blood counts, organ function, pancreatic enzymes, and inflammation with stool tests that look for infection, hidden blood, or markers of malabsorption. The exact tests chosen depend on a person's symptoms and history. This kind of panel can help a healthcare provider narrow down possible causes, but each result is interpreted together with the others rather than in isolation.

• Complete blood count (CBC) Measures blood cells and can reveal anemia or signs of infection or inflammation.
• Comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) Assesses liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and blood proteins relevant to digestive health.
• Amylase A pancreatic and salivary enzyme used to help evaluate pancreatic or gastrointestinal conditions.
• Lipase A pancreatic enzyme that helps assess and monitor pancreatic conditions such as pancreatitis.
• H. pylori antigen Detects Helicobacter pylori material in stool, which can be associated with gastritis and ulcers.
• Fecal occult blood Detects hidden human blood in stool that may come from the digestive tract.
• Tissue transglutaminase IgA A celiac screening antibody associated with gluten-related intestinal damage.

• People with persistent abdominal pain, bloating, or cramping
• Individuals with chronic diarrhea, constipation, or a change in bowel habits
• Those with unexplained weight loss or poor digestion
• People with a family history of digestive or celiac disease
• Anyone whose healthcare provider wants a broad evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms

• Preparation depends on which tests are ordered; follow the instructions with your order
• No fasting is required for most components, though a fasting sample may be requested for some blood tests
• Stool samples are collected with the provided kit and returned as directed
• Tell the lab about medications and supplements that may affect results

Each component of a gastrointestinal panel is reported separately. Low blood counts may suggest anemia or inflammation, abnormal liver or pancreatic enzymes may point to organ involvement, and stool tests may reveal infection, hidden blood, or a celiac-related marker. Because digestive symptoms have many possible causes, no single value confirms a diagnosis. Results are interpreted together with your symptoms and history. Discuss the panel with a healthcare provider, who can explain the combined findings and next steps.
