GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus)

 

Comprehensive Stool Analysis by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory

 

The GI-MAP is an advanced DNA-based stool test that analyzes the health of your gut microbiome, digestive function, immune activity, and inflammatory markers. Using quantitative PCR technology, this test identifies and measures specific bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and other microbes that may be impacting your digestive and overall health.

 

Unlike traditional stool tests that rely on culture methods, the GI-MAP detects microbial DNA, allowing for a more sensitive and precise assessment of gut pathogens and microbial imbalances.

 

What the GI-MAP Evaluates

• Pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and parasites
  Identifies infections that may contribute to bloating, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, fatigue, or systemic inflammation.

• Opportunistic and overgrown bacteria
  Reveals imbalances in the microbiome that may disrupt digestion and immune function.

• Commensal (beneficial) bacteria
  Assesses levels of healthy microbes essential for nutrient absorption, immune balance, and gut integrity.

• Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
  Detects strains and associated virulence factors that may affect stomach health.

• Fungi and yeast (including Candida species)
  Identifies overgrowth that may contribute to digestive discomfort or systemic symptoms.

• Digestive function markers
  Evaluates pancreatic elastase (enzyme production) and fat digestion.

• Inflammation and immune markers
  Includes markers such as calprotectin and secretory IgA to assess gut immune activity.

• Intestinal barrier integrity markers
  Helps identify potential compromise of the gut lining.

 

Why the GI-MAP is Useful

• Identifies hidden infections and microbial imbalances

• Provides insight into root causes of chronic digestive symptoms

• Assesses gut-driven inflammation and immune stress

• Guides personalized protocols for gut healing and microbiome restoration

• Supports systemic health, including mood, energy, skin, and immune function

 

The GI-MAP is especially helpful for individuals experiencing chronic bloating, IBS-like symptoms, autoimmune concerns, fatigue, skin conditions, brain fog, or unresolved digestive issues.

 

By understanding the unique ecosystem of your gut, we can create a targeted plan to reduce inflammation, restore balance, and support long-term digestive and overall health.
