GI Map Test

The GI Map Test, or Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus, is a comprehensive stool test that is used to assess a person’s gut health. This diagnostic tool is designed to analyse the microbiome, which is the collection of microorganisms living in the intestinal tract, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. The test provides detailed information about the microbial population in the gut, including the presence of beneficial and harmful microorganisms. It’s particularly useful for identifying imbalances or dysbiosis, which can lead to a range of digestive and general health issues.

The GI Map Test is frequently used by healthcare professionals to help diagnose and treat conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and other gastrointestinal disorders. By providing insights into the gut microbiome, the test plays a crucial role in understanding and managing gut health, which is increasingly recognised as fundamental to overall health and well-being.
