Gut Health
Gut Health Testing & Root-Cause Support
Your gut affects more than digestion.
Bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, food reactions, fatigue, nutrient deficiencies, hormone symptoms, and inflammation can all be connected to gut health. Instead of guessing or simply adding a probiotic, advanced gut testing can help identify what may actually be contributing to your symptoms.
Common Reasons Patients Seek Gut Testing
- Bloating or abdominal distention
- Reflux or chronic indigestion
- Constipation or diarrhea
- IBS symptoms
- Food reactions or sensitivities
- Poor absorption of supplements
- Low iron, B12, or other nutrient deficiencies
- Autoimmune concerns
- Chronic fatigue or brain fog
- Recurrent yeast or bacterial imbalance
- Suspected H. pylori
- Symptoms that have not improved with basic approaches
Get exceptional insight into your gastrointestinal health in the following key areas:
- Bacterial pathogens
- Parasites, protozoa, and worms
- Viruses
- H. pylori and its virulence factors
- Commensal bacteria (essential for a healthy microbiome)
- Dysbiotic bacteria (potentially pathogenic)
- Fungi and Yeast
Advanced Testing Options
Advanced H. pylori DNA Profile
An advanced PCR DNA test detects H. pylori, evaluates important virulence factors, and screens for antibiotic resistance genes to help guide treatment decisions.
May be helpful for
- Heartburn or acid reflux
- Stomach pain or burning
- Chronic indigestion
- Nausea
- History of ulcers
- Low iron or vitamin B12
- Suspected H. pylori infection
GI-MAP Stool Test
A comprehensive stool test that evaluates the gut microbiome, digestion, inflammation, immune activity, pathogens, parasites, yeast, and H. pylori.
May be helpful for:
- Chronic bloating
- diarrhea, constipation, IBS symptoms
- reflux, suspected dysbiosis, poor nutrient absorption
- recurrent GI symptoms, autoimmune concerns, or unexplained digestive issues.
Lactulose SIBO Breath Test
This breath test evaluates hydrogen and methane gas patterns after drinking lactulose. It helps assess for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and intestinal methanogen overgrowth.
May be helpful for:
- Meal-related bloating
- gas or abdominal distention
- constipation, diarrhea, IBS symptoms
- symptoms that worsen after carbohydrates.
Glucose SIBO Breath Test
This breath test evaluates hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide patterns after drinking glucose.
May be helpful for:
- Suspected SIBO
- chronic diarrhea
- sulfur-smelling gas
- bloating, or previous negative breath testing with ongoing symptoms.

GI-MAP: At-home Gut Health Assessment
Test, Don’t Guess. Because a Healthy Gut is Essential for Overall Health.
The GI-MAP is a unique at-home gut health assessment that uses the most advanced DNA technology to provide insights into the cause(s) of chronic illness.
The gastrointestinal tract is home to an entire ecosystem of microorganisms known as the microbiome. These microorganisms regulate nutritional absorption, hormone production, and your immune system. They can even impact brain and skin health.
The GI-MAP identifies the specific issues affecting your digestive system, so you can work with your healthcare provider to improve your health.
What Conditions Can a Gut Health Test Help Address?
- Chronic GI Complaints
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Food Sensitivities
- Autoimmune Disorders
- Acne, Rosacea, Psoriasis
- Mood Disorders, and more!

GI-MAP’s Technology Helps Reveal Underlying Causes of Chronic Conditions
The GI-MAP uses quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to provide comprehensive insight into your microbiome.
Emerging research has linked gut health to many chronic conditions, many of which exist systemically (outside the gastrointestinal tract.) Eczema, brain fog, joint pain, and more are often the result of poor gut health. The GI‑MAP uses the most advanced technology to identify the organisms that cause this wide array of symptoms.
Rather than simply indicating positive or negative values, GI‑MAP's technology quantifies results. There is no better way to evaluate gut health!
What the GI-MAP Gut Health Test Evaluates
The GI-MAP offers exceptional insight into the gastrointestinal health and reports on the following key areas:
- Bacterial pathogens
- Parasites, protozoa, and worms
- Viruses
- H. pylori and its virulence factors
- Commensal bacteria (essential for a healthy microbiome)
- Dysbiotic bacteria (potentially pathogenic)
- Fungi and Yeast
Additional markers included on the GI-MAP assess:
- Inflammation
- Immune function
- Digestion and absorption
Personalized Treatment Based on Your Gut Health Test Results
Whether you're dealing with IBS, acne, fatigue, brain fog, or fibromyalgia, the GI-MAP test helps identify what's going on beneath the surface — so we can treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Not unlike your fingerprint, your microbiome is unique and requires precise treatment to heal. GI‑MAP test results allow us to create a highly-personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs – so you can feel your best.
Testing is easy! The GI-MAP is a simple at-home collection that takes just a few minutes.
