Do you need a doctor's permission to order this test?

No - you can order this test on your own. But we always encourage people to work with their doctor to make sure treatment for any positive tests is handled correctly.

Can you help me find a doctor who can treat parasites?

Yes, we will try and help you find a doctor locally. We aren't always successful, but there are also tele-health options as well. And if you can travel to other states, we can easily recommend some great doctors.

Will you send me a copy of the test results?

Yes! We email test results when they are ready. We can also email the test results to your doctor.

How accurate is this parasite test?

It's difficult to quote an exact number. But work to find the highest number of positive parasites possible. We do this in 3 ways: 1. we have rigorous test prep to reduce false negatives. 2. We require 4 days of stool samples, rather than just 1 day, because that increases parasite detection by at least 175%. 3. Only highly trained PhD parasitologists look at samples...not lab techs.

Will you send me a copy of the test results?

Yes! We can email, fax or serve your results via our encrypted portal. We can also send your test results to your doctor or anyone else.

What countries do you ship to?

We ship to the USA, Canada and the UK.

How fast are parasite test results ready?

7-10 days after you ship back your samples, you'll receive your test results.

Is your test covered by insurance?

Possibly, but it depends on the insurance. We provide an invoice that you can send to your insurance company, and ICD-10 diagnosis codes may also help get your purchase reimbursed by your insurance.

I have diarrhea. Can I still take this test?

Yes. Diarrhea is a common symptom of paraistes. The collection procudure is a bit different, but you can still take the test.

I am constipated. Can I still take this test?

Yes! Each sample vial contains a preservative, so you don't need to rush to take 4 samples. If your doctor says it's okay, you can take a mild laxitive that doesn't contain any antiparasitics. Miralax is one option. Wherever you store it in between BM's, make sure children and animals can't get into the vials. The sample preserving fluid should not be drank or exposed to eyes or skin.

Can children take this test?

Yes! As long as an adult supervises and helps, then yes this is a safe test for children. The sample cups contain preserving fluid that is unsafe to drink or expose to eyes. A scooper spoon is provided so the fluid can be kept away from children.

Will someone help me understand the test results?

Absolutely. If you provide a valid phone number, I (Evan Jerkunica) can call you to go over your test results. I can't tell you what to do about any positive results (I'm not a doctor). I can share some things others have done, or I have done, so you and your doctor can research your options further.

The kit sent was easy to use. Lab results came back on time. I was provided a very good understanding of the results and all my questions were answered when I emailed/called.
