The Comprehensive Stool Test (GI-MAP) is a highly advanced DNA-based stool analysis that provides a detailed assessment of your gut microbiome and digestive function. It is one of the most widely used functional medicine tests for identifying the root causes of digestive and systemic health concerns.
The GI-MAP uses cutting-edge qPCR technology to measure the presence of pathogens, bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi with a high degree of accuracy. It also evaluates key intestinal health markers, helping to uncover imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, and inflammation.
What the test measures:
-
Gut microbiome balance – Beneficial and harmful bacteria

Pathogens and infections – Viruses, parasites, and fungi
-
Opportunistic bacteria – Linked to digestive and systemic issues

Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike traditional stool tests that rely on culturing microbes, the GI MAP uses advanced qPCR technology to detect microbial DNA. This allows for greater accuracy and the ability to quantify levels of pathogens, beneficial flora, and markers of inflammation and digestion.
Yes. Rather than just identifying surface symptoms, the GI MAP can reveal deeper issues such as gut dysbiosis, low digestive enzyme output, inflammation, immune suppression, or hidden infections — providing insights into the root causes of IBS, fatigue, skin issues, and more.
