What this panel measures
The GI-MAP (The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is an at home test that evaluates your stool for microorganisms in your gut, including good and bad bacteria, viruses, and parasites. It also provides information about your overall immune function and stress response related to the gut. The results can help Dr. Robinson unravel the root causes of chronic symptoms. From constipation and bloating to eczema, H. pylori, and its virulence factors, the GI-MAP can help develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet the needs of your unique gut microbiome.
What your GI-MAP results include:
- Bacterial Pathogens
- Viral Pathogens
- Parasitic Pathogens
- Parasitic Protozoa
- Parasitic Worms
- Normal Bacterial Flora
- Opportunistic Bacteria
- H. pylori with Virulence Factors
- Fungi/Yeast
- Digestion
- Immune Response
- Inflammation
- Antibiotic Resistance Genes
How It Works
Your stool collection kit is mailed directly to you with detailed instructions (full lab directions are available here from Diagnostic Solutions). Collect the sample at home, seal it, and return it via FedEx — drop-off or pickup. Results typically reach you and Dr. Robinson within 1–2 weeks, followed by a review with recommendations.
