GI-MAP + StoolOMX
The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet, digestion, immunity, metabolic function, and more. The GI-MAP (Microbial Assay Plus) test is truly unique in the field – relying exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more by targeting their specific DNA, providing quantitative insights to guide more personalized treatment protocols. StoolOMX is a powerful GI-MAP add-on test that evaluates 25 bile acids (total concentrations, percentages, and ratios) and 9 short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), offering clinicians valuable insights into gut functionality and conditions such as IBS, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, and altered gut motility. By ordering StoolOMX alongside the GI-MAP, practitioners can uncover the underlying causes of these common conditions.
