What is Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory

Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is a clinical laboratory based in Atlanta, Georgia, that specializes in functional medicine testing, with expertise in gastrointestinal health. Founded to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and laboratory testing, the laboratory develops clinically relevant assessments designed to support personalized patient care.

The laboratory offers testing that helps practitioners evaluate gastrointestinal health, microbiome function, metabolism, nutrition, immune activity, food sensitivities, food allergies, and other biomarkers commonly assessed in functional and integrative medicine. Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory's testing options provide biomarker data that practitioners may review as part of their own assessment and individualized care.

Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory's GI-MAP® utilizes quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to identify and quantify microbial DNA, allowing practitioners to evaluate bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi.

How GI-MAP Is Used in Clinical Practice

The GI-MAP® from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is a gut health test that uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to measure microbial DNA from bacteria, parasites, H. pylori, and fungi by targeting specific DNA sequences.

It may be considered as part of a broader gastrointestinal evaluation in patients with contexts such as:

  • Digestive symptoms (e.g., bloating, irregular bowel patterns, diarrhea, constipation)
  • Nutritional and metabolic patterns
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Multi-system or complex presentations
  • Baseline gastrointestinal assessment and monitoring

Other testing offered by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory may provide insight into adverse food reactions, food allergies, metabolic and metabolomic health, and immune function. See below for a complete list of available testing.
