GI MAP® MICROBIAL STOOL TEST

The GI MAP® is a comprehensive test that measures the gastrointestinal microbiome from a single stool sample using 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® includes pathogens (bacterial, parasitic, and viral) commonly known to cause intestinal gastroenteritis. It’s important to note that not all individuals with positive findings for pathogens will present with symptoms.

Imbalances in your gut ecosystem and your overall GI function is associated with a wide variety of common illnesses including, but not limited to:

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

  • Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

  • Diabetes

  • Obesity

  • Cardiovascular Disease

  • Celiac and Other Malabsorption Disorders

  • Mood Disorders

  • Autoimmune Diseases including disorders of the thyroid

  • Autism
