What is GI-MAP?

GI-MAP stands for Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus. It is a comprehensive stool analysis test that utilizes the gold-standard qPCR testing. It is a highly accurate, highly sensitive test that looks at the digestive system on the genetic level and is able to detect microbes at a much smaller level than conventional GI tests.

The microbiome is a mini ecosystem in our gut that requires a delicate balance. It can easily be thrown off from things like antibiotics, poor diet, stress or medications.

If the balance of microbes in the gut are thrown off, this can cause a whole host of issues and conditions both within the GI tract and throughout the rest of the body.

The gut is truly at the centre of our health!

What Does It Test For?

• Disease-causing pathogens such as parasites, bacteria & viruses

• Microbiome imbalances such as bacterial overgrowth, SIBO and candida yeast overgrowth

• H. pylori

• Digestive, immune & inflammatory markers

• Intestinal health and leaky gut markers

• Gluten intolerance

• Antibiotic resistence genes

Who Should Use GI MAP?

Anyone looking for root-cause answers for their digestive concerns should consider GI MAP. If you struggle with persistent bloating, indigestion, gas, diarrhea, constipation, IBS, digestive pain, heart burn or reflux, or have an autoimmune disease, this test is the perfect adjunct to your gut-healing plan.

What If I Don’t Have Digestive Issues?

If your digestion feels great, but you struggle with mental health issues, such as anxiety or depression, chronic fatigue, poor focus or brain fog, skin rashes or acne, joint pain, hormonal imbalances or trouble sleeping, this test will be extremely beneficial for you also. Hidden digestive imbalance, leaky gut and dysbiosis will often manifest as non gut-related symptoms.
