- The GI map stool test can detect bacteria and other microorganisms that may be autoimmune triggers and also the presence of yeast or fungi.

Frequently Asked Question
The GI-MAP is a diagnostic tool used to analyze the gastrointestinal microbiome. It stands for Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus and is a DNA-based stool test that can detect the DNA of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the gastrointestinal tract. The GI-MAP test is used by healthcare professionals to identify potential causes of gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, and flatulence.
The test detects the DNA of both beneficial and pathogenic bacteria, including commensal bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and bacterial pathogens like Salmonella, Shigella, and Campylobacter. The test also measures the DNA of fungal pathogens, such as Candida albicans, which can cause gastrointestinal infections and other health problems. Additionally, the GI-MAP can detect the DNA of parasites, including protozoa and worms, that can also cause gastrointestinal issues. The test can also identify antibiotic resistance genes, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in gut bacteria, as well as markers of inflammation in the gut.
The sample needed to complete the GI-MAP test is a stool sample. The test analyzes the DNA of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, which is shed in feces, so a small amount of stool is collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The sample collection process is typically straightforward and can be done at home using a kit provided by the healthcare provider.

Errors in blood collection should not affect the GI-MAP test results, as the test is specifically designed to analyze the DNA of microorganisms in the stool sample. However, it is important to ensure that the stool sample is collected and handled properly to obtain accurate and reliable results. Any contamination or mishandling of the stool sample could potentially affect the test results.
If your blood collection card is not sufficient to run an analysis, it may not be possible to obtain accurate and reliable test results.
Your test results should be available within 30 days after they are sent to the testing center.
The GI-MAP test is a highly accurate and reliable test for assessing the gut microbiome. However, no diagnostic test is 100% accurate, and false-positive or false-negative results can occur in some cases.
To register your GI-MAP kit, you will need to follow the instructions provided by the healthcare provider or the laboratory that provided the kit. The registration process typically involves providing some basic information about yourself and the kit.
The cost of GI-MAP testing can vary depending on several factors, including the healthcare provider or laboratory offering the test, the geographic location, and any additional services or fees that may be included. In general, the cost of the GI-MAP test is typically in the range of several hundred dollars.
