DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Take Control Of Your Gut Health with the GI360™ Microbiome Stool Test Kit
The GI360™ Microbiome Profile is a powerful DNA-based analysis designed to reveal what is really happening inside your gut.
Using advanced molecular testing, this microbiome test identifies and quantifies more than 45 clinically relevant microbial markers. These targeted analytes have been linked in peer-reviewed research to gut dysbiosis and a range of chronic health conditions, providing valuable insight into the balance of your gut ecosystem.
Instead of guessing, the GI360™ test shows which microorganisms are present, how abundant they are, and how diverse your gut microbiota truly is.
What This Test Reveals
- Microbial Balance – Identifies both beneficial and disruptive bacteria shaping your digestive health.
- Gut Dysbiosis Score – Measures microbial diversity and flags imbalances that could trigger digestive issues.
The Dysbiosis Index (DI) is a scoring system ranging from 1 to 5 that evaluates the overall bacterial composition in a sample compared to a reference population.
A score above 2 suggests an imbalance in the gut microbiome, indicating a shift away from a healthy microbial state (normobiosis). The higher the DI surpasses 2, the greater the deviation from a balanced gut environment.
Why this matters
Gut dysbiosis has been associated with many chronic conditions, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
- inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD)
- metabolic disorders
- immune dysfunction
- chronic digestive symptoms
By identifying microbial imbalances early, the GI360™ Microbiome Profile provides the data needed to guide targeted dietary strategies, microbiome therapies, and personalized gut health protocols.
Why Choose the GI360™ Microbiome Test?
- Advanced Testing for Real Answers – Goes beyond generic gut health tests, offering precision diagnostics via DNA analysis (PCR molecular technology).
- Designed for People with Digestive Struggles – Ideal for those experiencing bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, or chronic discomfort.
- No Clinic Visits Required – Collect your stool sample at home, mail it in, and receive lab-verified results.
GI360™ vs GI Map® Test: What’s the Difference?
Many people researching gut health testing compare the GI Map stool test with other advanced microbiome analyses. Both the GI360™ Microbiome Profile and the GI Map gut test analyze stool samples using DNA-based methods to identify bacteria linked to digestive symptoms and microbiome imbalance.
However, the tests differ in their focus, reporting structure, and microbial markers analyzed.
The GI Map mircobiome Test screens for over 60+ microbial markers, offering a broad spectrum gut health overview.
The GI360™ Test hones in on 40+ of the most clinically relevant markers, focusing on the core factors driving digestive issues like IBS, IBD, and food sensitivities.

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.
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.
