The Gastro Panel is a set of blood tests that helps check common causes of stomach and digestion problems. It is sometimes called a gastrointestinal panel or GI blood panel. If your provider ordered this, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This panel may also be called a digestive health panel. It looks at several markers in your blood that relate to stomach acid balance, possible infection, vitamin levels, and organ function that can affect digestion. Your doctor will read these results together to see what might be causing your symptoms.
Common reasons: ongoing heartburn, belly pain, bloating, nausea, or early fullness, symptoms that suggest an ulcer, long lasting diarrhea or constipation, low appetite or weight loss, low vitamin levels, or a check after treatment for a stomach infection. Your provider may use this panel to guide next steps.
You will check in, confirm your order, and roll up a sleeve. A phlebotomist cleans the skin and draws a small tube or two of blood. A bandage is placed and you can head out. Plan for about 15 to 25 minutes at the site.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Eating a very large meal right before testing can affect some results, so follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab.
Fasting: some centers ask you not to eat for 8 to 12 hours. Follow the instructions on your order. Medications and supplements: bring a full list. Tell the team if you take biotin, acid reducers, or antibiotics. Hydration: drink water to help the blood draw. Timing: a morning visit is often easiest if fasting is needed. Always follow your doctor’s or the lab’s directions and bring any prior results if you have them.
Possible causes of reflux and heartburn, stomach or duodenal ulcers, gastritis, infection with H pylori, problems with vitamin absorption such as B12 or folate, or other common digestive complaints. Results must be interpreted in context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
