Kit Based DNA Stool Kit, Detailed Instructions. Detailed Report with 60 Minute Zoom Interpretation Consultation
GI Microbial Assay Plus (GI-Map)
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) was designed to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance and may contribute to perturbations in the gastrointestinal (GI) flora or illness. The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It primarily uses automated DNA analysis to provide integrative and functional medicine practitioners a better view into the gastrointestinal microbiome.
Disruption of the gastrointestinal microbiome can cause:
