The GI-MAP test is a comprehensive at-home stool test that uses quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) DNA technology to detect 86 markers of gut health, including pathogenic bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, H. pylori virulence factors, and inflammation indicators. Most standard stool tests rely on culture or microscopy and miss the full picture. The GI-MAP quantifies the exact DNA of specific organisms in your sample, giving your practitioner the clinical precision needed to identify what's actually driving your symptoms.

Run by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, the GI-MAP is the gold standard comprehensive stool analysis for functional medicine. It's the test we reach for at Cync Health when a client is dealing with chronic bloating, IBS-style symptoms, food sensitivities, skin issues with no obvious cause, autoimmune flares, or stubborn fatigue. The results map your gut microbiome in clinical detail so we can build a targeted protocol instead of guessing.

What Symptoms Does This Test Help Address?

  • Chronic bloating or distension after meals

  • Gas, belching, or reflux

  • Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bowel patterns

  • IBS, IBD, or unexplained abdominal pain

  • Food sensitivities and unexplained reactions to foods you used to tolerate

  • Skin issues: eczema, acne, rosacea, psoriasis

  • Brain fog and difficulty concentrating

  • Chronic fatigue and afternoon energy crashes

  • Recurring yeast infections or candida symptoms

  • Autoimmune flares, including thyroid antibodies

  • Suspected H. pylori or history of antibiotic-resistant infections

  • Unexplained weight changes or stalled weight loss

Who Is This Test For?

  • Anyone with persistent digestive symptoms who has been told their bloodwork is normal

  • Clients diagnosed with IBS who want to identify the actual root cause

  • People with autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto's, RA, lupus, psoriasis, eczema) investigating gut as a driver

  • Patients who have taken antibiotics in the past five years and suspect lasting microbiome damage

  • Anyone with suspected H. pylori, candida overgrowth, or parasitic infection

  • Practitioners and clients looking for retest data after a gut healing protocol

Collection Instructions

The GI-MAP is a single stool sample collected at home. Do not discontinue prescription medications unless directed by your physician.

  • Step 1: Write your name, date of birth, and collection date on the specimen vial label.

  • Step 2: Void urine first if possible to avoid contamination. Put on gloves and pass stool into the provided collection tray.

  • Step 3: Using the spoon attached to the cap of the specimen vial, scoop stool from at least 4 different areas of the sample (left to right). Fill the vial above the fill line but do not overfill. Do not discard the pink liquid inside the vial.

  • Step 4: Replace the cap tightly and shake the vial vigorously for 30 seconds to mix.

  • Step 5: Complete the Test Request Form fully (including the collection date), place the sealed vial and absorbent pad into the specimen bag, then place everything in the kit box and ship via the provided FedEx Clinical Pak Mailer.

Important: Stool samples must arrive at the lab within 6 days of collection. If you cannot ship the same day, refrigerate the sample and ship within 3 days.


***The GI-MAP is not available for ordering in Hawaii, Rhode Island, New Jersey, New York, or Puerto Rico due to state lab regulations.
