The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is an innovative clinical tool designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.
This comprehensive gut health assessment relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
Dr Ahn recommends this at-home DNA stool test to all her patients, even children, because assessing GI health properly can help you achieve optimal health and uncover the root cause of chronic illness.
The GI-MAP is especially useful for anyone with autoimmune disease, IBS/IBD, digestive complaints, diarrhea or constipation, brain fog, skin problems, mood disorders, diabetes and weight loss issues.
