GI-MAP – Advanced Microbiome and Gut Health Test +

A Precision-Based Approach to Gut Health

The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a cutting-edge DNA-based stool analysis that offers a detailed view of your gut microbiome, immune activity, digestion, and intestinal barrier function. This test provides actionable insights into the root causes of many chronic symptoms — and forms the foundation for a personalized approach to rebalance your system based on the principles of Functional Medicine.

Why Gut Health Matters

Disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract can affect nearly every system in the body. Research increasingly links gut dysbiosis and increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) to a wide range of physical and emotional complaints.

In Functional Medicine, the gut is viewed as a reflection of overall health and a vital interface between nutrition, immunity, and systemic function. At DNA Care, this perspective informs how we evaluate chronic symptoms and guide recovery.

The GI-MAP test may be helpful if you’re dealing with:
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Anxiety, mood swings or depression
• Autoimmune conditions (e.g. Hashimoto’s, IBD)
• Chronic fatigue or brain fog
• Constipation, diarrhea or alternating symptoms
• Eczema, acne, or other skin issues
• Food sensitivities or bloating
• Joint or muscle pain
• Neurological symptoms or coordination issues
• Sleep disturbances
• Suspected SIBO or post-infectious IBS

What Does the GI-MAP Test?

The GI-MAP provides a clinically validated, DNA-based analysis of your gut microbiome, intestinal barrier, immune response, and digestive health. It identifies bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and key functional markers from a single stool sample — offering clear insights into complex symptom patterns. This test includes:

• Commensal and beneficial bacteria (e.g. Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Faecalibacterium)
• Pathogenic and opportunistic microbes (e.g. H. pylori, C. difficile, Candida)
• Parasites and worms (e.g. Giardia, Blastocystis, Ascaris)
• Inflammatory markers (e.g. calprotectin)
• Intestinal permeability (via zonulin)
• Immune response (sIgA and anti-gliadin sIgA)
• Digestive capacity (e.g. elastase-1, steatocrit)
• Occult blood (FIT test)
• Antibiotic resistance genes
• Microbial profile associated with obesity and systemic inflammation

This broad panel allows for early detection of microbial imbalances that may contribute to inflammation, autoimmunity, or systemic symptoms.

Why Choose GI-MAP?

Unlike conventional stool cultures, which detect only a small fraction of microorganisms, the GI-MAP uses qPCR DNA technology to identify microbes with high accuracy — even at low concentrations.

✔ Scientifically validated
✔ Highly sensitive and specific
✔ Clinically relevant for chronic, complex or unexplained symptoms
✔ Developed by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, trusted by practitioners worldwide

The GI-MAP reflects a systems-based perspective on health, making it ideal for use within advanced Functional Medicine frameworks.
