How to read your Doctor's Data GI360 results
Doctor's Data has been doing functional stool testing since the 1970s. The current GI360 family is their attempt to unify three approaches in one report: targeted qPCR for known pathogens and opportunistic organisms, 16S sequencing for ecological diversity, and chemistry markers for digestive function and inflammation. It is one of the best tests when you want both the targeted organism panel and a diversity-style microbiome map, and you don't want to order two separate tests.
How Doctor's Data GI360 works
Combined PCR-based organism detection with 16S microbiome sequencing and chemistry markers. The GI360 family includes a tiered set of panels (Essentials, Microbiome, full GI360) so the practitioner can choose the right depth for the clinical question.
What Doctor's Data GI360 does well
- Combines targeted PCR with 16S diversity in one report
- Strong yeast and parasite detection
- Tiered panels let you scale cost to clinical question
- Long history with reference range stability
- Includes a calculated dysbiosis index
What Doctor's Data GI360 misses
- PDF format upload is not yet supported by Test To Table
- Less brand recognition than GI-MAP outside functional medicine
- Practitioner-only ordering
