GI-MAP Testing
The GI-Map test is the most comprehensive digestive test currently available on the market. As the name implies the test "maps" out the microbiota of the human digestive tract via a stool sample.
The GI-MAP relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, viruses and more by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms being tested.
The test also assesses overall digestive function by checking various markers involved in digestion, metabolism, inflammation and leaky gut. Through this test we are able to assess the health of the gastrointestinal tract as a root cause of chronic illness.
Consider the GI-Map if you struggle with any of the following conditions:
- Digestive complaints, diarrhea, constipation & bloating
- IBS/IBD
- Fatigue or brain fog
- Skin problems, like acne, eczema, psoriasis or peri-oral dermatitis
- Mood disorders, depression & anxiety
- Autoimmune diseases
- Diabetes & weight loss issues
