What the GI-MAP Measures
The GI-MAP provides one of the most complete gut-health pictures available today. Your report includes:
Pathogenic & Opportunistic Bacteria
Identifies bacterial infections, overgrowths, and imbalances that may be causing bloating, irregular bowel movements, inflammation, or chronic discomfort.
Yeast & Fungal Overgrowth
Screens for Candida and other fungal species often linked to fatigue, skin issues, and digestive symptoms.
Parasites & Viruses
Detects protozoa, worms, viral pathogens, and other microbes that often go undiagnosed.
Beneficial Flora
Measures your “good bacteria” — including keystone species — to understand your microbial diversity and resilience.
Inflammation Markers
Includes calprotectin, secretory IgA, and other markers that reveal immune activation and gut lining irritation.
Digestive Function
Assesses pancreatic enzyme output, bile function, fat metabolism, and digestive efficiency.
Gut-Barrier Insights
Evaluates markers related to intestinal permeability and mucosal defense (“leaky gut”).
Metabolic Insights (StoolOMX Add-On)
-
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
-
Branched-chain fatty acids
-
Bile-acid metabolism
These markers offer a deeper look at your microbiome’s metabolic activity and gut-lining integrity.
