Gut Health / GI Mapping

Why advanced stool testing?

Advanced stool testing may be considered for ongoing bloating, abdominal discomfort, changes in bowel habits, unexplained digestive symptoms, or where a more comprehensive GI evaluation may be useful.

GI Mapping investigates

• Digestive function: Digestion and pancreatic function.
• Gut bacteria: Who is living in your intestines, including the presence and relative abundance of beneficial, opportunistic and potentially pathogenic organisms.
• Inflammation: Stool markers that indicate intestinal inflammation.
• Immune activity: Gut immune responses.
• Intestinal health: A snapshot of the overall GI environment.
• Potential pathogens: Organisms that may contribute to GI symptoms.
