Our team take the raw lab data and turn it into an easy to understand report that details everything.
The GI Map stool test is ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive snapshot of their gut health, wanting to understand their risk of common conditions such as leaky gut, or aiming to identify the root cause of symptoms. We measure over 2,000 different types of gut bacteria and use the latest science and research to map them to known symptoms and conditions. Our report also includes a personalised action plan to improve your gut health and address our findings.

Bringing Gi Map testing to the UK
What is the Gi Map Stool Test?
The Gi Map test is a comprehensive at-home stool test that looks closely at what's going on in your digestive system. It checks for a wide range of microbes, including bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, archaea and more as well as markers that can show how well your gut is functioning overall. This includes things like leaky gut, inflammation, immune response, and how well you're digesting food. It?s often used to help uncover deeper causes of symptoms like bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, or fatigue. With clear results and expert-backed insights, the Gi Map test can help guide more targeted steps to support your gut and overall health.
What does the Gi Map test for?
The Gi map measures
- 2,000 bacteria, Pathogenic bacteria, 20 Key health insights (including immunity, digestion, longevity, bowel habits, symptoms), 10 Gut-Axis interactions (gut-skin, gut-brain, gut hormone etc), Gut diversity score, Leaky Gut, Parasites, Viruses, Fungi, Archaea, Candida, H. Pylori
FAQ
Have questions? We have answers
What can the results tell me
The results can give you a 360 view of your overall gut health and tell you what the diversity of your gut is like, identifying if you have too little or too much of specific gut bacteria.
We look at the latest research and studies behind the microbiome and specific bacteria types to provide an evidenced based assessment of what the abundance of certain bacteria may mean for your health.
The results also include personalised food and supplement recommendations specifically designed to increase the diversity of your gut, specifically by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria by adopting a gut friendly diet and supplement plan.
How long do results take?
The results typically take 4 weeks to complete from the date our lab receives your sample.
Who can I speak to about my results?
We offer unlimited support with our team of nutritionists and gut health experts via email. So if you have any questions about your results, you can contact a member of our team any time.
Does my GP need to order the test?
No, originally the GI map was only available to practitioners and medical professionals who would interpret the results for you. However, with our new interpreted results, the test can be ordered by anyone over the age of 18.
How to get a Gi Map test in the UK?
The Gi Map can be purchased on our website, you do not need a referral from a doctor or medical professional.
How much does it cost?
The Gi Map is priced at ?399 which includes full results interpretation and a detailed report.
Who can take the test?
Anyone over the age of 18 and in the UK can take the test.
How will I receive my results?
Your results will be emailed to you directly from a member of our team as soon as they have been completed.
Is this the same Gi Map offered by Diagnostic Solutions?
No, this is our version of the Gi Map test, we measure many of the same biomarkers and bacteria, the main difference is that we provide interpreted results and not just the raw lab data which can be difficult to understand.
Does the Gi Map test for H.Pylori?
Yes, the Gi Map tests for the presence of H Pylori and will detail this in your results if it is identified during testing.
Is the Gi Map test on the NHS in the UK?
No, the NHS do not carry out comprehensive gut microbiome testing, at present, the Gi Map Test is largely available through private clinics or health providers only.
Our customer support is available Monday to Friday: 8am-8:30pm.Average answer time: 24h
