InstalabGI-MAP™
Find out which microbes, hidden infections, or digestive failures may be driving your gut symptoms when standard stool tests come back clean.
Should you take a GI-MAP™ test?
This test is most useful if any of these apply to you.
Living with Unexplained Gut Symptoms
You have ongoing bloating, loose stools, or pain and standard workup keeps coming back clean. This panel can surface things basic stool tests miss.
Worried About Your Stomach Cancer Risk
You suspect H. pylori or have a family history of stomach cancer, and want to know whether your strain carries the more aggressive genes.
Losing Weight and Not Sure Why
Your stools are greasy or floating, fatty meals leave you uncomfortable, and you want to check whether your pancreas is keeping up with digestion.
Already Managing IBD or IBS
You want to track inflammation markers between flares or tell irritable bowel patterns from active inflammatory disease without repeat scoping.

Overview
About GI-MAP™
If you have ongoing bloating, loose stools, constipation, food reactions, brain fog, or skin flare-ups that nobody can pin down, the GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is one of the most detailed snapshots of your gut you can order. From a single stool sample, it counts the DNA of dozens of organisms living in your intestines, looks for known stomach and gut pathogens, and measures a few proteins that tell you how well you are digesting food and how irritated your gut lining is.
