GI MAP

STOOL TEST

Collection Method: Stool sample (at home)

​

The GI-MAP was designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness. To complete the picture of overall health, the GI-MAP includes key markers related to digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.

​

An unhealthy gut can cause uncomfortable symptoms that are felt beyond the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In fact, the root cause of brain fog, fatigue, headaches, food sensitivities, and more can often be traced back to the gut.

The GI-MAP offers impactful, quantitative results that enable practitioners to create personalized protocols that address the underlying cause(s) of uncomfortable symptoms for even the most complex patients.

Your GI-MAP results shows:.

  • Bacterial pathogens and/or viral pathogens

  • Which bacteria strains are imbalanced in your normal gut flora (dysbiosis)

  • Whether there are: parasites, fungi, yeast/candida, worms, and/or viruses present

  • If H.Pylori is present

  • If inflammation is present in the gut  "leaky gut")

  • Any pathogenic bacteria involved with skin issues, breakouts, or flare-ups

  • Reactivity to gluten

  • How well your body digests and absorbs fat, secretes digestive enzymes, eliminates hormones and toxins, and its immunity/immune system resiliency (secretory IgA).

  • How well your body is metabolizing toxins, hormones, chemicals, etc. out of your system

MYCOTOXIN TEST

Collection Method: Urine (at home)

​

The Mycotoxins panel measures levels of mycotoxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to. Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores. If you were diagnosed with or suspect toxic burden, impaired immunity, autoimmune disease, or exposure to mold, this panel may benefit you.​
