GI-MAP Stool Test
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP Stool Test) is an innovative clinical tool that measures gastrointestinal microbiota DNA from a single stool sample with state of the art, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology.
The GI-MAP was designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.
THE GI-MAP IS A HIGHLY TECHNICAL TEST AND YOU WILL WANT TO WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THE RESULTS FOR INTERPRETATION. SEE SAMPLE RESULT LINKED BELOW. WE ARE NOT A DOCTOR’S OFFICE AND CANNOT OFFER MEDICAL ADVICE OR TEST INTERPRETATION
Overwhelmingly, research indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic, and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness.
The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
