The GI-MAP can be used in the detection and identification of gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acids and has been clinically validated for the detection of gastrointestinal pathogens that cause infectious colitis or gastroenteritis. This technology has been used to identify and control pathogen outbreaks because of its rapid turn-around-time.  It measures a substantial list of opportunistic pathogens as well as a list of FDA-cleared pathogens, including novel targets such as viruses, Microsporidia, and pathogenic virulence factors. Chronic gastrointestinal symptoms, intestinal permeability, hormonal imbalance, and food sensitivities may trace their origins to imbalanced gut microbes as a root cause.

LAB CONSULTATION with Health Coach

During the 30 minute appointment, one of The Gut Institute Health Coaches will review your lab data for your microbiome testing (GI Map).

After your order is complete, information will be emailed to you and you will be directed to a booking page that will enable you to schedule your appointment.

Please note: during the lab review we will not be providing customized gut protocols.  We will review and educate you on how to interpret your lab, show you the relevance of your labs as it relates to your health and microbiome and tell you what you need to consider for improvements for health.
