The new generation of GI Map stool tests including Metabolic Panel: A more complete gut test for IBS, IBD, bile acid problems, and hard-to-explain symptoms

Because “your gut is sensitive” is not much of an answer. Gives deeper insight into IBS, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, and gut motility

A lot of people live with gut symptoms for months. Some for years. Bloating after meals. Sudden urgency. Loose stools. Constipation that comes and goes. Cramping you cannot explain. And somewhere along the way, many are told some version of the same thing: avoid a few foods and see what happens.

But symptoms are only the surface.

The GI-MAP Test + Gut Metabolite Panel is built for people who want a deeper look. It combines the GI-MAP stool test with an added metabolite panel that measures bile acids and short-chain fatty acids. That means you are not only looking at which microbes may be present. You are also looking at chemical patterns inside the gut that may help explain why symptoms keep happening.

This is the kind of test people look for when a basic answer is no longer enough.

The GI-MAP test

The GI-MAP test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that provides an in-depth analysis of your gut microbiome.

It uses advanced DNA sequencing technology to detect and quantify over 20 pathogens, 50 commensal bacteria, and markers for inflammation and immune function in your gut.

This comprehensive analysis can help you identify the root cause of your gut issues, whether it be a bacterial imbalance, infection, or other underlying condition.

With this information, you can make targeted changes to your diet and lifestyle to promote a healthy gut and alleviate your symptoms.

Get Clarity from Those Who Know What to Look For

Understanding the GI-MAP test results isn’t always straightforward. That’s why it makes all the difference to have an experienced expert explain what your numbers actually mean.

At IFDW, our gut health specialists have spent years working with tests like the GI-MAP. They know how to spot patterns, decode complex findings, and help you connect the dots between your symptoms and what’s going on inside your digestive system.

That’s why we strongly recommend adding the Expert Video Interpretation when ordering this test.

It’s a personal, easy-to-follow video where one of our IBS & SIBO experts walks you through your results – so you’re not left guessing or Googling on your own.

Please note: The video interpretation focuses solely on explaining your test results. It does not include a personalized supplement plan, dosages, or a full treatment protocol.

Simple to Use – From the Comfort of Home

Taking the "GI-MAP test + Metabolic Panel" is easy. You collect a small stool sample at home and send it off to the lab using the prepaid mailer. That’s it.

A few days later, you’ll receive a detailed report showing what’s really going on in your gut – from bacteria and yeast imbalances to inflammation and digestive function markers.

Why GI-MAP Is a Game Changer

Traditional stool tests often miss key information. The GI-MAP uses advanced DNA technology to detect and measure microbes with incredible precision – even in small amounts.

That means you get a much clearer picture of your gut health and the real reasons behind your symptoms.

Thousands of people have already used the GI-MAP to uncover what’s been holding them back – and finally take steps toward lasting relief.

Take the First Step Toward Feeling Better

You don’t have to keep guessing, hoping, or waiting for things to get better on their own.
Order your GI-MAP test today – and if you want true clarity, make sure to include the Expert Video Interpretation.

It could be the turning point you’ve been waiting for.

WHATS BEING TESTED:

Not just what is in the gut, but what the gut may be doing

This panel measures:

  • Bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal markers
  • H. pylori and virulence factors
  • Helpful bacteria and opportunistic bacteria
  • Digestive markers
  • Immune markers
  • Inflammation-related markers
  • 25 bile acid markers
  • 9 short-chain and branched-chain fatty acid markers

That last part matters. Because two people can have similar symptoms, but very different gut patterns. One may have microbial imbalance. Another may show bile acid-related patterns. Another may show fermentation issues. This panel helps look wider.

THIS TEST IS FOR YOUR, IF:

You know something is wrong, but you still do not have real answers

This test may be a good fit if:

  • You deal with bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, or mixed bowel habits
  • You have been told you may have IBS, but want a deeper look
  • You want to explore bile acid-related patterns and gut metabolite balance
  • You have tried diets, supplements, or “gut health tips” without clear direction
  • You want a more complete stool test before deciding what to do next

YOUR ADVANTAGES

A more complete test can save time, guesswork, and repeated trial-and-error

Why choose this panel instead of a simpler option?

Because it gives you:

  • Broader insight from one at-home sample
  • Microbial testing plus metabolite testing in one report
  • Better visibility into patterns linked to digestion, motility, and microbiome activity
  • Clearer information to discuss with your provider or IFDW expert
  • A more informed starting point for what comes next

When symptoms stay the same, people often keep changing food, supplements, and routines. A deeper test can help break that cycle.

FAQ - Answers To Your Questions

What is GI Map testing?

GI Map (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) analysis focuses on the genetic material of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract.

GI Map Testing is an advanced clinical evaluation that is considered as a state of the art for characterization of gut microbial population metabolism. 

This test gives an impression of the overall gut microbiota not only of the bacteria but also of the parasites, viruses, and funguses present with several indicators related to the gut health status and functions.

Who can benefit from GI Map testing?

GI Map testing can be used by anyone that has gastrointestinal complaints, autoimmune disease, inflammatory bowel disease IBD, or anyone who aims to push their overall health into high performance.

How is the GI Map test conducted?

Stool material from the client is collected as the test sample for the test. The specimen is however taken and forwarded for processing by an expert in a laboratory.

The output describes how many of each species of gut microorganism are present.

What are the sample collection requirements?

All our collection kits come with clear and concise instructions.

Why Is quantification using qPCR Technology so important?

qPCR offers a much more accurate and reliable result. This allows experts to study and determine the clinical significance of the microorganisms far more than the use of standard PCR, culturing, microscopy or sequencing approaches.

In practical terms, there is a need for a practitioner to find out just how many pathogenic organisms or pathogenic dysbiosis patterns are contained within the stool sample of the client being diagnosed.

How do I interpret the GI Map Microbiome Stool Test Results?

We recommend you discuss your quantitative results with an IFDW Expert for a comprehensive stool analysis.

What are the specimen requirements, and do I need to prepare fast?

What to do: Single Stool Sample – Ambient room temperature in specimen vial provided.

And there is no need to prepare or fast before testing.

What does dl signify on the GI-MAP Report mean?

< dl indicates "less than the detectable limit."

Do I need to stop taking any of my medications before I Collect My GI-MAP sample?

No. Please continue taking all medications unless otherwise directed by your provider.

These instructions may vary by provider so you may want to check with your provider. They may also have dietary restrictions as well depending on the testing.

Is the Client responsible for postage?

No, collection kits include a pre-paid 2 business day FedEx return label if mailed within the U.S.

Can I drop off my Collection Kit at a local FedEx office?

Yes, please follow the packing and shipping instructions provided with the collection kit.

Your tracking number can be found on the Return Label. Please keep this tracking number for sample tracking purposes.

The postage-paid envelope can be dropped off at any Fed Ex Drop Box, but ensure that the drop box is cleared within the same day or the next day. We only require that the specimen be received within 10 days after collection.

How accurate is GI Map testing?

Experts in the field rate the GI Map testing as very accurate and dependable. It employs improved molecular diagnostic procedures to detect the presence of microorganisms within the gastrointestinal tract, hence an effective improvement on traditional diagnosis.

How often should GI Map testing be repeated?

The number of tests done is wholly dependent on health status and specific problems that are being solved.

After an intervention is done, for example, gastrointestinal practitioners may suggest follow-up tests to determine how effective the intervention was and look at changes that have happened over time with the gut microflora. 

As per the practice in Harmony in Health Nutrition, protocols are typically followed for 3 months and retesting is done between 2-4 weeks after the protocol has been completed.

How long does it take to get my results?

After sending (FEDEX) your sample, give it 3-5 business days for the specimen to arrive at the lab. Results will be released roughly within 7 to 10 working days although on some odd occasions it may take three weeks.

How do I get my GI MAP test results?

When test results are ready they’ll be available to you in your client account at https://ifdw.org/pages/login-client-portal. You need to activate your account in order to view these results.

Right after the test was ordered, a letter with an invitation for account activation should have been sent to your email address.

Please check your inbox and also look in your spam folder if you haven’t seen the email yet.

Can I have someone do a review or consultation of my GI Map test results with me?

Yes. You can purchase the GI Map and request a Result Consultation.

Just choose the “With Result Consultation” option above when making the purchase.

We highly recommend talking to an IFDW Expert about your results as they are quite difficult to interpret.
