GI-MAP Gut Health Testing: Find Out What Is Really Going On in Your Gut | Jennifer Snell
GI-MAP Gut Health Testing

Get Real Answers About Your Gut Health

The GI-MAP is the most comprehensive stool test available. It identifies gut pathogens, bacterial imbalances, digestive function, and immune markers so you can stop guessing and start healing.

What Is the GI-MAP Test?

The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is an advanced stool test that uses DNA-based technology to give you a detailed look at what is living in your gut and how well your digestive system is functioning.

This test identifies bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, and other organisms that may be disrupting your gut health. It also measures markers for digestion, inflammation, and immune function, giving you a full picture of your gut environment.

Your gut health affects far more than digestion. It influences your energy, mood, hormones, skin, immune function, and even your ability to absorb the nutrients your body needs. When your gut is off, everything else can be affected.

What Your GI-MAP Results Reveal

Bacterial Pathogens

Identifies harmful bacteria like H. pylori, C. difficile, and other organisms that may be causing digestive symptoms or chronic inflammation.

Commensal Bacteria

Shows the balance of your beneficial gut bacteria. Low levels of good bacteria can contribute to bloating, poor immune function, and nutrient absorption issues.

Parasites and Viruses

Detects parasitic infections and viral markers that are often missed by standard testing but can cause ongoing digestive and systemic symptoms.

Digestive Function

Measures markers like elastase and steatocrit to show how well you are actually breaking down and absorbing your food.

Inflammation Markers

Calprotectin and other markers show whether your gut lining is inflamed, which can drive symptoms throughout your entire body.

Immune Response

Secretory IgA (SIgA) levels reveal how your gut immune system is functioning. Low levels may mean your gut defenses are weakened.

Signs This Test Might Be Your Next Step

You do not need to check every box. If even a few of these sound like you, this test could provide the clarity you have been looking for.

Bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort
Constipation, diarrhea, or both
Food sensitivities that keep getting worse
Skin issues like acne, eczema, or rashes
Fatigue or low energy after eating
Brain fog or mood changes
Frequent illness or weakened immunity
Acid reflux or heartburn

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the GI-MAP different from other stool tests?

The GI-MAP uses quantitative PCR (DNA-based) technology, which is more sensitive and specific than culture-based tests. It detects organisms that standard tests often miss and provides actual quantities, not just positive or negative results.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 weeks after the lab receives your sample. We schedule your review consultation shortly after.

Is the collection process difficult?

Not at all. The kit comes with step-by-step instructions. You collect a single sample at home and ship it using the prepaid mailer included in the kit.

Can gut issues really cause symptoms outside of digestion?

Absolutely. Your gut is connected to your immune system, hormone regulation, mood, energy, and skin health. Many women are surprised to learn that symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety can be linked to gut imbalances.

Will you tell me exactly what to do with my results?

Yes. Your consultation includes a personalized plan with specific dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based on your individual results. No generic advice.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No referral is needed. As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, I can order this test directly and guide you through the entire process.
