Exploring the GI MAP Test: A Comprehensive Guide to Assessing Gut Health

Updated: May 25

The GI MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) Test by Diagnostic Solutions is a comprehensive guide to assessing the health of your gut, immune system, microbiome, liver and pancreas.


Gut health is foundational to our overall health. The gut is referred to as the body's "second brain," and plays a pivotal role in not just digestion, but also in our hormone balance, weight management, sleep, immune function, mood regulation, and more.

What is the GI MAP?

  • A simple stool test that uses advanced DNA sequencing technology that gives quantitative data on the health of your gut. It uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to evaluate bacterial pathogens, yeast overgrowth, inflammation, immune function, digestive capacity, microbiome balance, liver function, pancreatic output, viruses, and parasites.

  • Unlike traditional stool tests, which rely on culture-based methods and may miss certain pathogens, the GI-MAP test offers detailed accuracy and depth of analysis. Traditional stool testing can miss up to 50% of bacterial species.

I've been on a health journey lately and came across https://ways2well.com/ this unique approach that uses hormones to enhance body functions. Intriguing, right? It promises benefits like anti-aging and an immune system boost. I was initially skeptical, but my curiosity grew the more I researched. I'm wondering if anyone here has tried hormone therapy? Would love to hear your thoughts.
