GI-MAP Test in Cypress, TX: DNA Stool Analysis for Gut Health, Dysbiosis & Digestive Issues

GI-MAP Testing: Unlocking the Secrets of Your Gut Health

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses—that collectively make up your gut microbiome. This ecosystem influences digestion, immunity, inflammation levels, mood, and even hormone balance.

When the microbiome becomes imbalanced (a condition known as dysbiosis), a wide range of health issues can develop. The GI-MAP test is one of the most advanced functional medicine tools available to uncover exactly what’s happening inside your gut.

Revive Chiropractic & Wellness proudly offers GI-MAP testing in Cypress and Houston, TX, with virtual functional nutrition consultations available across the U.S.

Understanding the Gut Microbiome: Why It Matters

Your gut microbiome is responsible for:

• Digesting food & absorbing nutrients

• Producing essential vitamins

• Regulating the immune system

• Protecting against harmful pathogens

• Supporting brain function and mood regulation

• Maintaining healthy inflammation levels

Because the gut is often called the “second immune system,” imbalances can ripple through your entire body.

What Is Dysbiosis?

Dysbiosis is an imbalance of good and bad gut bacteria. Symptoms may include:

• Bloating or gas

• Indigestion

• Acid reflux

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Abdominal pain

• Bloody stool

• Food sensitivities

• Fatigue

• Brain fog

Causes of dysbiosis include:

• Processed foods

• Excess sugar

• Chronic stress

• Mold exposure

• Pathogens from food or water

• Antibiotic use

• Parasites

What Is GI-MAP Testing?

GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a DNA-based stool test that uses PCR technology to identify microorganisms with exceptional accuracy—far superior to traditional culture-based stool tests.

GI-MAP can identify:

• Beneficial bacteria

• Harmful bacteria

• Parasites

• Viruses

• Fungi & yeast

• Mold exposure markers

• Gluten sensitivity markers (anti-gliadin)

• Immune markers (SIgA)

• Inflammation markers (calprotectin)

• Enzyme markers for digestion (elastase)

This test reveals exactly what is contributing to digestive dysfunction or systemic inflammation.

What GI-MAP Testing Can Reveal

GI-MAP results may uncover:

• Bacterial overgrowths or deficiencies

• H. pylori infection

• Candida or fungal overgrowth

• Parasites (including microscopic ones often missed on other tests)

• Viruses affecting gut health

• Digestive insufficiency

• Leaky gut / intestinal permeability

• Inflammatory bowel disease markers

• Gluten sensitivity

• Low stomach acid

• Detoxification issues

• Immune system suppression or overactivity

This level of detail makes GI-MAP a powerful root-cause diagnostic tool.

Who Can Benefit from GI-MAP Testing?

GI-MAP testing is recommended if you struggle with:

• IBS or digestive discomfort

• Bloating or gas

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Acid reflux

• Autoimmune disease

• Eczema or acne

• Brain fog or mood issues

• Chronic fatigue

• Food sensitivities

• Weight resistance

• Hormonal imbalances

• Suspected parasites

• Mold exposure

Anyone who wants a deeper understanding of their gut health can benefit.
