Test Instructions

This lab is a urine sample for mycoplasma (otherwise known as walking pneumonia). For this one you will need to send it to the lab overnight. This test does not come with shipping. Shipping overnight usually costs around $50. 

If your kit says "AIMS" it is the food allergy/sensitivity test. If it says advanced intestinal barrier, this is the leaky gut and histamine intolerance test. Both of these tests require a blood draw. We perform blood draws in office. If our office is not convenient for you, you can take this box to one of the specialty labs located at the bottom of this page. If you are out of state, we will help find a lab that can do the blood draw for you. You do not need to be fasting for this test to be complete. There is no preparation other than drink enough water so you can have a successful and easy draw.

If your box says NutrEval and not Organix it is a combo Urine and Blood Test.  For this, you will need to fast for 12 hours before your blood draw. Also be sure to avoid fish for 24 hours before your draw. Your clinical team may have advised you to avoid certain supplements before the test as well. Please follow any unique instructions that were given to you in your patient portal. The am of the blood draw, collect your first void. If you wake in the middle of the night, collect that void. If you are coming to our office for the draw, please bring in your urine. We will freeze it for you. If you are getting a blood draw at a specialty lab, please freeze it as much as possible before your draw 

If your box says Organix, it is a urine test. The hardest part of this test is that we have to slightly dehydrate ourselves the day before we collect urine.  The day before these test make sure to decrease fluids to 24 ounces of fluids or less. Make sure that after 8pm prior to the morning of collection that fluids are restricted to less than 8 ounces. You can watch the video below for more instruction. In addition, make sure to fully fill out the requisition form and ship via the shipping provided within 2 days of collecting. 

This is a very simple one day stool collection. You will collect stool in the tray provided in the box. Inside the vial is a scoop for moving the stool from the collection tray to the vial.  Occasionally you will be told to avoid certain supplements or medications. If this is the case, it will be indicated in your patient portal. You will mail the box back to the lab using the shipping packaging inside the box.

This test looks for mold toxins (mycotoxins) in your home or work environment. It is a dust sample, so if possible, it is best to let dust collect for a few days if you have recently cleaned your house. Focus on collecting dust in the places that you are most concerned of a mold possibility. This lab will just require that you use the swifter like cloth to collect dust. Make sure to label the sample and the form with the name of the location you are testing for mold.
