The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) uses advanced DNA analysis of stool to identify a wide range of microorganisms and gut health markers, including:
- Pathogenic bacteria (e.g., H. pylori) and opportunistic species that may overgrow and cause illness.
- Viruses linked to digestive or systemic issues.
- Parasites, which may contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms.
- Fungi/yeast (such as Candida), which can disrupt balance if overgrown.
- Commensal (beneficial) bacteria, essential for a healthy microbiome and proper digestion.
- Intestinal health markers, such as inflammation, immune activation, and markers of nutrient absorption.
- Antibiotic resistance genes, which can guide safer and more effective treatment planning.
The GI-MAP offers a comprehensive look at gut function and microbial balance. Because the gut influences digestion, immunity, metabolism, mood, and skin health, test results can provide insight into the root causes of many chronic conditions, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
- Skin disorders (acne, eczema, psoriasis)
- Mood imbalances (anxiety, depression)
- Chronic fatigue and low energy
- Weight regulation challenges
