About this test

The Complete Microbiome Mapping (GI Map) uses PCR technology to analyse gut bacteria, pathogens, and digestive health markers. It provides a clear picture of microbiome balance and identifies issues that may impact overall health. This test helps guide personalised gut health strategies.

What we measure

BENEFICIAL BACTERIA

Beneficial bacteria are essential for optimal gut health, supporting digestion, immune function, and nutrient production.

Lactobacillus
Beneficial bacteria that support gut barrier function and immune health.
Bifidobacterium
Key beneficial bacteria that help digest fiber and support immune function.
Akkermansia muciniphila
Supports gut lining integrity and metabolic health.
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii
Produces anti-inflammatory butyrate and supports colon health.
OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGENS

These bacteria can become problematic when gut balance is disrupted, potentially causing inflammation and digestive issues.

E. coli
Can be beneficial in normal amounts but pathogenic strains cause infections.
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Associated with gut inflammation and autoimmune conditions.
Citrobacter
Opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections.
Enterobacter
Can contribute to gut inflammation.
Streptococcus
Some strains can be pathogenic and cause gut issues.
PARASITES

Parasitic infections can cause chronic digestive symptoms and nutrient malabsorption.

Blastocystis hominis
Common parasite that may cause digestive symptoms.
Dientamoeba fragilis
Can cause diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Entamoeba histolytica
Pathogenic parasite causing severe gastrointestinal infections.
Giardia lamblia
Causes giardiasis with diarrhea and malabsorption.
Cryptosporidium
Can cause severe diarrhea, especially in immunocompromised individuals.
VIRUSES

Viral infections can disrupt gut health and contribute to digestive symptoms.

Norovirus
Common cause of gastroenteritis and digestive upset.
Adenovirus
Can cause gastrointestinal infections.
Rotavirus
Common cause of severe diarrhea, especially in children.
YEAST & FUNGI

Yeast overgrowth can disrupt gut balance and contribute to various symptoms.

Candida albicans
Most common yeast that can overgrow and cause symptoms.
Candida species
Other Candida species that may contribute to overgrowth.
Geotrichum
Fungus that can cause infections.
DIGESTIVE MARKERS

These markers assess digestive function, inflammation, and gut health.

Elastase
Marker of pancreatic function and enzyme production.
Secretory IgA
Indicates gut immune function and response to pathogens.
Anti-gliadin IgA
May indicate sensitivity to gluten.
Calprotectin
Marker of gut inflammation, elevated in IBD.
Beta-glucuronidase
Enzyme affecting hormone metabolism and detoxification.
