What is this Test?
The primary purpose of the GI Effects® Stool Profile is to provide a comprehensive, advanced analysis of your gastrointestinal health to identify the root causes of chronic digestive issues and gut-related systemic conditions.
The test uses molecular technology (PCR), stool cultures, and specific biomarkers to evaluate three core functional areas of the gut.
Rather than guessing at what might be causing your symptoms, this test gives your Evergreen practitioner objective data to guide a personalized plan.
The link between human health and the gut microbiome has been thoroughly researched and well-established over the years. An imbalance in this symbiotic relationship can often be the root cause of many common gastrointestinal complaints. This GI Effects panel provides practitioners with a comprehensive assessment of gut health through a combination of PCR, culture, and microscopic testing methods – ensuring any and all relevant organisms are identified. Our data-driven approach provides analysis based on hundreds of thousands of complete stool samples. Utilizing the latest technology and biomarkers, this profile can deliver valuable insight into digestive function, intestinal inflammation, and the intestinal microbiome.
Who is this Test For?
This test may be a good fit if you experience:
Persistent bloating, gas, or abdominal discomfort
Irregular bowel movements, constipation, or diarrhea
Suspected food sensitivities or unexplained fatigue
A history of antibiotic use or gut infections

What Does it Measure?
The GI MAP evaluates several key areas of digestive health, including:
Gut microbiome balance, including beneficial and opportunistic bacteria
Parasites, yeast, and other potential pathogens
Markers of digestion and nutrient absorption
Intestinal inflammation and immune response markers
Gut barrier function, sometimes referred to as intestinal permeability
