COMPREHENSIVE STOOL TESTING ANALYSIS

GI-MAP® Root-Cause Gut Health Assessment

Your digestive symptoms may be telling you something. Let's finally listen.

Your Digestive Symptoms May Be Telling You Something

Bloating, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, food reactions, abdominal discomfort, fatigue, skin concerns, and brain fog are often treated as separate problems. However, these symptoms may be connected to imbalances within your digestive system.

The GI-MAP® is an advanced stool test that provides a detailed look at your gastrointestinal microbiome, digestive function, immune response, and intestinal health. By identifying patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms, we can move beyond guesswork and develop a more personalized plan for restoring balance.

Your health has a root cause. Let's find it.

What Is the GI-MAP?

The GI-MAP—Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus—is a comprehensive stool analysis that uses quantitative PCR technology to detect and measure the DNA of selected microorganisms. Using one convenient stool sample, this test evaluates:

🦠

Pathogens

Disease-causing bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens including H. pylori and virulence factors.

🌱

Bacterial Balance

Beneficial and keystone bacteria alongside opportunistic or overgrown bacteria.

🍄

Yeast & Parasites

Yeast and fungal organisms including Candida, plus parasites and protozoa.

⚙️

Digestive Function

Pancreatic and digestive function markers to assess how well food is being broken down.

🛡️

Immune & Inflammation

Intestinal immune activity and inflammatory markers that signal deeper imbalances.

🔬

Gut Barrier Health

Signs of impaired intestinal health, plus optional markers for permeability and gluten exposure.

The laboratory's current estimated turnaround time is approximately 7–10 business days after receiving the sample.

Who Is This Assessment For?

✓ Bloating & Gas
That won't resolve with diet changes
✓ IBS Symptoms
Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating
✓ Reflux or Heartburn
Recurring digestive discomfort

Sensitivities or intolerance concerns
✓ Fatigue & Brain Fog
Possibly linked to the gut

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the GI-MAP covered by insurance?
The GI-MAP is a specialty functional test typically paid out-of-pocket. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds. We'll provide any documentation you need.
Do I need to see Phara before ordering?
You can order the test directly, or schedule a free discovery call first to determine whether the GI-MAP is the right starting point for you.
What happens after my results come back?
Phara will personally review your results with you, explain what they mean, and outline a personalized nutrition and protocol plan to address the root causes uncovered.
How is this different from a regular stool test?
Standard tests often only screen for a few pathogens. The GI-MAP uses quantitative PCR technology to measure the DNA of dozens of organisms plus digestive, immune, and inflammatory markers — a much fuller picture.
