GI-Map
A stool test that maps your gut microbiome, looking for pathogens, parasites, and markers of digestive function.
What this test is used for
- Chronic digestive symptoms (bloating, irregular bowel movements)
- Suspected gut infections or parasites
- Unexplained fatigue or brain fog tied to gut health
- Autoimmune conditions with a gut-health component
What to expect
The GI-Map is a stool test you collect at home with a kit, then mail to the lab. It uses DNA-based analysis to identify bacteria, yeast, parasites, and markers of digestive function and inflammation. Results typically take one to two weeks, and your provider will walk you through what they mean and whether treatment, often targeted at rebalancing your gut microbiome, makes sense.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to come in for an in-person visit?
No. Testing is coordinated through an at-home kit or a local lab draw, and your results are reviewed with you over a follow-up video visit.
How soon can I be seen?
Once your test is ordered, most kits ship within a few business days, and your provider will schedule a follow-up once results are in.
Is the sample collection difficult?
No, the kit includes clear instructions for a single at-home stool collection, and you mail it directly to the lab in the provided packaging.
