GUT HEALTH AND MICROBIOME TESTING AND ANALYSIS 

​The gut microbiome is central to many functions of the body - including the brain, digestion, immunity, and nervous system. Microbiome testing and analysis of gut health offers personalised insights into the composition and function of your gut bacteria and help in identifying specific gut imbalances. Working in collaboration with a leading Microbiome Mapping lab - TheWell can assist in giving you specified direction and treatment for complete healing.

​

What is GI-Mapping?

GI Mapping, also known as Complete Microbiome Mapping, is a comprehensive stool analysis that examines the gut microbiome for imbalances and potential health issues.​

​

Optimal Health — It All Starts with the GI-MAP

Overwhelmingly, research indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome, in particular, plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners 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.

 

The science behind Gi-MAP

 

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. The Complete Microbiome Mapping (GI Map) uses advanced PCR technology to provide a detailed analysis of your gut health. It identifies beneficial bacteria, pathogens, parasites, viruses, and markers of inflammation and digestive function, offering a complete picture of your microbiome. This comprehensive test helps uncover hidden imbalances and guides personalised treatment strategies to restore optimal gut health.

 

Who Should Have the GI-MAP Comprehensive Stool Analysis Done?

GI-MAP Allows for the Personalised Treatment Protocols and Informative Retests

Almost every patient can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some patients are looking to achieve optimal health, while other patients 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
