Get to the Root of Digestive Issues with

Advanced Gastrointestinal Testing

The key to optimal health starts with a healthy gut.

Assessing gut health is a great starting point in identifying the root cause of chronic illnesses that impact overall health including IBS, leaky gut, chronic fatigue, and parasitic infection.  Non-invasive comprehensive stool testing evaluates digestion, absorption, intestinal function, and the gut microbiome.

GI-MAP
Diagnostic Solutions

The GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) quantitatively assesses a patient’s microbiome with attention to bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens that can cause disease, disrupt the normal microbial balance, and contribute to chronic GI illness.

    • Autoimmune diseases

    • Brain fog

    • Diabetes

    • Digestive complaints, diarrhea or constipation

    • IBS/IBD

    • Mood disorders, depression, or anxiety

    • Skin problems, like acne or psoriasis

    • Weight loss issues

Additional testing options

  • Zonulin is a protein that opens intercellular tight junctions in the gut lining. It is considered a biomarker for barrier permeability.

    Available for standalone testing or as an add-on.

  • Helicobacter pylori is estimated to be present in roughly 50% of the human population but will only cause disease in roughly 15% of those cases. There is evidence that Helicobacter pylori can modify the human immune response to confer protection against certain conditions such as asthma, eczema, IBD, diabetes and obesity.

    Available for standalone testing.

  • Quantitatively evaluates the gluten immunogenic peptide in stool after recent ingestion (within two-four days).

    Available for standalone testing or as an add-on.

  • Fecal calprotectin is the most studied marker of gastrointestinal inflammation. High calprotectin indicates neutrophil infiltration to the gut mucosa. It is the gold standard marker for the diagnosis and monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease. It is used to differentiate IBD from irritable bowel syndrome.

    Available as standalone testing or as an add-on.

  • This microorganism, which can be found on the stomach mucosa of infected people, causes very frequent and mostly silent infections that can produce gastritis, gastric ulcers and other serious pathologies.

    Available for standalone testing or as an add-on.

 FAQs

  • Short answer is yes. The long answer is we don’t advise it. There are many testing options available, and many symptoms you may be experiencing could point to more than one test. Our naturopathic doctors are trained to dig to the root of the symptom to figure out the cause. To save you time, money and get you feeling better fast, we think it’s best to have an Initial Consult with one of our doctors first.

  • As always, it depends. Lots of insurance plans will allow you to claim tests under you Health Spending Account, others won’t. Please contact your insurance provider to get the right information.

  • Yes, you will require a follow-up appointment to review your test results.
