The GI-MAP stool test is designed to identify imbalances within the gastrointestinal tract. This comprehensive assessment provides valuable insight into parasitic and viral pathogens, beneficial and opportunistic bacteria, fungi, yeast, parasites (including worms), potential autoimmune triggers, and key markers that reflect the overall quality of intestinal health and immune function. Identifying these imbalances is critical so we can address underlying functional issues and begin the healing process at the root.

Once those results are established, we pair them with the MRT (Mediator Release Test)—a food sensitivity test used to identify foods and chemicals that trigger inflammation. These reactions can significantly interfere with gut healing if they are not removed from the diet.

Addressing functional imbalances without eliminating inflammatory trigger foods often limits progress. Likewise, removing reactive foods alone may provide temporary relief but does not resolve the underlying gut dysfunction. This is why GI-MAP and MRT are completed together—to create a fully personalized, root-cause approach that supports lasting healing and optimal gut health.
