GI-MAP Stool Test
The most comprehensive gut test available, period
~$400
~10 business days
The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) uses quantitative PCR technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses in your gut with unmatched precision — plus critical markers for inflammation, immune function, and intestinal permeability.
Unlike culture-based stool tests that miss over 80% of gut organisms, PCR technology detects DNA directly, identifying pathogens and imbalances that conventional gastroenterology testing simply cannot find. This is why functional medicine practitioners consider GI-MAP the gold standard for gut assessment.
What It Measures
Pathogenic bacteria (H. pylori, C. difficile, etc.)
Parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, worms)
Opportunistic bacteria and fungal overgrowth (Candida)
Commensal (beneficial) bacteria levels
Inflammation markers (Calprotectin, Lactoferrin)
Intestinal permeability (Zonulin — leaky gut marker)
Immune function markers (SIgA)
Digestive enzyme sufficiency (Elastase-1)
Why Gabriel Recommends It
The gut is the seat of health — 70% of your immune system lives there. Conventional stool tests are shockingly inadequate, missing most pathogens and telling you nothing about intestinal permeability or immune function. GI-MAP reveals the complete gut ecosystem: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Gabriel uses GI-MAP data to design targeted antimicrobial protocols, probiotic strategies, and gut-healing programs that address root causes rather than just suppressing symptoms.
What to Expect
You'll collect a small stool sample at home using the provided kit — it takes about 5 minutes. Ship it in the prepaid overnight envelope. Results arrive in about 10 business days with quantitative data on every marker. Upload your GI-MAP results to Gabriel for a naturopathic gut health protocol.
How Gabriel Interprets This
Conventional practitioners read these results through a disease-focused lens — looking for what's broken. Gabriel reads them through a naturopathic lens — looking for what's out of balance and how to restore it. We see optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. We connect findings across all your diagnostics to reveal patterns that siloed specialists miss.
