Description
The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing gastrointestinal (GI) health with the proper tools can help to get to the root cause of chronic illness.
The GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested
GI-MAP allows for the personalised treatment protocols and informative retests
We find, almost every client can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some clients are looking to achieve optimal health, while others have been chronically ill and frustrated without a diagnosis for years.
Conditions where GI-MAP testing can support clinical diagnosis and protocol development include:
- Autoimmune diseases
- IBS/IBD
- Digestive complaints, diarrhoea or constipation
- Brain fog
- Inflammatory conditions
- Skin problems like acne and psoriasis
- Mood disorders, depression, and anxiety
- Diabetes and weight loss issues

GI-Map test can only be ordered by qualified practitioners. If you’d like to order the test through the Naturimedica website, please add it to the cart and provide relevant contact information, then pay for the test. After the payment is received, you’ll be emailed a test kit and a referral to collect a stool sample at home, and send it back to the lab for analysis.
Test results will be send to us and then forwarded to you for reviewing. If you’d like help with the interpretation of the results and nutritional or supplemental assistance, you can book a consultation with Joanna Sochan at a convenient time for you.
