Digestive symptoms often have multiple possible causes including bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Our advanced GI testing helps identify the root cause quickly to support faster and more confident treatment decisions.
Digestive Symptoms Can
Have Many Causes.
Each year, millions of Americans experience gastrointestinal illnesses that impact the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
GI infections may result from:
- • Viruses: Such as Adenovirus or Norovirus
- • Bacteria: Including Salmonella and E. coli strains
- • Parasites: Such as Giardia or Blastocystis
Because symptoms often overlap, identifying the actual cause is essential for proper treatment.

Why Gastrointestinal Infections
Are Difficult to Diagnose
Many gastrointestinal conditions present with nearly identical symptoms despite having completely different causes.
Patients experiencing nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or fever may actually have viral, bacterial, parasitic, or mixed infections. Since treatments vary significantly depending on the cause, accurate testing is critical.
When Should You Get Tested?
Persistent Diarrhea
Symptoms lasting more than 2 days.
Blood or Mucus in Stool
Potential sign of infection requiring investigation.
Severe Dehydration
Complicated gastrointestinal symptoms.
Unexplained Weight Loss
Persistent digestive issues requiring evaluation.
Travelers
Especially individuals traveling internationally.
Elderly & Immunocompromised
Higher-risk patient populations.
Infants & Young Children
Especially severe or persistent symptoms.
Beyond Traditional
Stool Culture Testing
Traditional stool culture testing may fail to detect viruses, parasites, low-count organisms, or co-infections.
Vediagnostics advanced GI infectious panel uses DNA Extraction + PCR Analysis to provide faster and more comprehensive pathogen detection.
Traditional Testing
- Limited pathogen visibility
- Longer turnaround times
- Harder to detect co-infections
Molecular GI Panel
- Detects bacterial, viral & parasitic causes
- Better co-infection detection
- Faster reporting (~48 hours)
- Higher diagnostic confidence
