This test measures IgG antibody levels to specific foods, indicating potential delayed food sensitivities. Unlike immediate IgE-mediated allergies, IgG sensitivities may manifest hours to days after food ingestion. Identifying these sensitivities can guide dietary modifications, such as elimination diets, to reduce inflammation, support gut health, and alleviate systemic symptoms.
It measures delayed immune reactions to foods, which may cause symptoms like bloating, migraines, or fatigue.
People with unexplained digestive issues, skin problems, headaches, or chronic inflammation.
Identified foods are temporarily removed through an elimination diet to reduce symptoms and inflammation.
No, it tests for delayed sensitivities (IgG) rather than immediate allergies (IgE).
Yes, by identifying trigger foods, it helps reduce gut inflammation and improve overall digestive health.
The GI-MAP test analyzes the gut microbiome, pathogens (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi), digestive function, and inflammation markers like calprotectin. It provides insights into gut health, helping tailor treatments like probiotics, antimicrobials, or dietary changes. It is especially useful for identifying underlying imbalances in chronic or unexplained health conditions.
It’s a comprehensive stool test that evaluates gut microbiome balance, pathogens, and digestive health.
Anyone with chronic digestive issues, IBS, IBD, or systemic problems like fatigue, skin conditions, or autoimmune disorders.
It identifies bacteria, parasites, fungi, inflammation markers, and digestive enzyme levels.
Results help create a tailored plan using probiotics, antimicrobials, or dietary changes to restore gut health.
Yes, it provides valuable insights into gut health, often uncovering hidden causes of chronic issues.
This test measures hydrogen and methane gas levels in the breath after ingesting a sugar solution (glucose or lactulose). Elevated gas levels indicate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. A positive result confirms SIBO, guiding treatment strategies such as antibiotics (e.g., rifaximin), herbal antimicrobials, and dietary modifications like a low FODMAP diet to address symptoms and prevent recurrence.
Each test serves a specific purpose, and their results can be combined for a more comprehensive approach to digestive and systemic health.
It measures hydrogen and methane gases in your breath, which indicate bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.
People with bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, or IBS-like symptoms.
After drinking a sugar solution, you breathe into a tube at intervals to measure gas levels.
Treatment includes antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, or a low-FODMAP diet to reduce bacterial overgrowth.
Yes, addressing SIBO can significantly reduce bloating, pain, and other digestive complaints.
