Functional Testing
What is the GI-MAP?
The GI-MAP is the gold standard stool test which screens for various gastrointestinal, digestive and immune markers together with pathogenic bacteria, commensal (“normal” or beneficial) bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites.
It’s designed to assess particular microbes and pathogens that may be disturbing normal digestive function potentially causing bloating, flatulence, constipation, diarrhoea , reflux, stomach ulcers and other IBS type symptoms.
It primarily uses multiplex automated DNA analysis to give our practioners a better view into the gastrointestinal microbiome.
Indicators:
Diarrhoea
Digestive issues
Gastritis
Autoimmune molecular mimicry (if caused by pahogens)
Foodborne illness
Gastroenteritis (if it has viral causes)
Gut dysbiosis
Immunity
Inflammation
Suspected bacterial pathogenesis
Suspected parasitic pathogenesis
Suspected viral pathogenesis
Suspected antibiotic resistant bacteria
Digestive health markers tested include:
Beneficial bacteria
Pathogens (bacterial, viral, parasitic & fungal)
Oestrogen metabolism
Calprotectin (inflammation level)
- H.Pylori & its virulence factors
Autoimmune triggers
Gut immune health (SiGA)
Gluten antibodies
Fat digestion
