Order the GI-MAP™ Test Online: At-Home Stool Test

The GI-MAP™ (GI Microbial Assay Plus) is a stool panel that uses quantitative PCR (qPCR) for selected microbial genetic targets and separate assays for intestinal-health markers. The report includes numerical and qualitative results from a single stool sample. It is analyzed by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory and is a practitioner-ordered stool panel.

You collect a small stool sample at home using the provided kit, return it using the instructions supplied for your country and test (prepaid return shipping is available in most eligible U.S. areas), and receive your detailed results by email. The lab’s standard processing time is 10–16 business days from the date it receives your sample. Once testing is complete and the lab releases your results to us, we typically need an additional 1–3 business days to process and email them to you.

You can order through this store from eligible U.S. states, supported U.S. territories and international destinations served by DNA Life, including Germany; New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island are excluded. Complete one required intake form per person after payment, before the practitioner places the lab order. A test and a personalized review purchased for the same person share that intake form. Collect your sample at home and follow the kit instructions to return it; prepaid return shipping is included in most eligible U.S. areas.

Every order includes the lab order placed by a network practitioner and your full lab report. Choose how much support you want with your results. Interpret the report yourself, or take it to your own doctor. Your full results report, ready to use with the AI health tools you already use. AI tools don't diagnose and don't replace a clinician. Optional practitioner review: +$245, not included by default. If you don't want help interpreting, don't add the review. You get the same full lab report either way.

Optional practitioner review: +$245, not included by default. A personalized written report from a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), with a marker-by-marker breakdown of your findings. If you don't want help interpreting, don't add the review. You get the same full lab report either way. We recommend reviewing your results with a licensed practitioner.

Yes. Your full results report is ready to use with the AI health tools you already use. AI tools don't diagnose and don't replace a clinician, so we recommend reviewing your results with a licensed practitioner.

Outbound shipping is free to eligible U.S. states and Washington, DC.

Our GI-MAP™ test packages start at $525 USD for the Standard GI-MAP™, $600 USD for the GI-MAP™ with Zonulin add-on (an optional stool assay with interpretation limits), and $237 USD for the targeted H. Pylori Profile. Outbound shipping is free to eligible U.S. states and Washington, DC. Shipping costs US$50 per physical lab test to supported U.S. territories (AS, GU, MP, PR, VI) and international destinations served by DNA Life, including Germany; NY, NJ and RI are excluded. Canadian customers must order through our separate Canada store. Prepaid sample return is included in most eligible U.S. areas.

No doctor's referral is required to order through our service. Gi Map Test acts as an intermediary, connecting you with contracted practitioners who place the lab orders on your behalf. You can order your GI-MAP™ test kit directly from our website.

We also recommend working with a qualified healthcare practitioner (naturopath, functional medicine doctor, or integrative health provider) to interpret your results and develop a targeted treatment protocol. Please note: patients under 18 require parental or guardian consent, and lab ordering is not available for patients in New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island.

The lab’s standard processing time is 10–16 business days from the date it receives your sample. Once testing is complete and the lab releases your results to us, we typically need an additional 1–3 business days to process and email them to you. Your kit typically ships within 1–2 business days and usually arrives 3–5 business days after shipment in the continental U.S. Kit delivery, sample collection and return shipping are additional to the results timeline.

GI-MAP™ reports selected microbial genetic targets and intestinal-health markers. These findings may contribute to a clinical assessment, but a positive finding or laboratory flag does not by itself diagnose a condition or establish the cause of symptoms. Discuss the clinical question with a licensed clinician when choosing a test.

A G.I. MAP test — also called the GI-MAP™ (GI Microbial Assay Plus) — is a stool panel from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. It uses qPCR for selected microbial genetic targets and separate assays for intestinal-health markers from an at-home stool sample.

Yes. When people search for a "GI mapping test," they are typically referring to the GI-MAP™ by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory. The panel uses qPCR for selected microbial genetic targets and separate assays for intestinal-health markers. It does not map every organism in the gut or establish an infection from detection alone.

All three are comprehensive stool panels, but they use different technology. The GI-MAP™ is a panel combining quantitative PCR for microbial targets with other assays for intestinal-health markers from a single stool sample, and it reports H. pylori with eight virulence-factor targets. Genova's GI Effects combines qPCR, culture, microscopy and stool chemistry, with one- or three-day collection options. Doctor's Data GI360 combines PCR, culture with MALDI-TOF identification, microscopy and stool chemistry; follow the collection instructions for the ordered profile. Your practitioner selects the panel that best fits what they need to assess. See our full comparison table above.

Your GI-MAP™ report groups results by category — pathogens, H. pylori, normal/commensal flora, opportunistic organisms, fungi, parasites, and intestinal-health markers — and includes numerical values alongside qualitative findings such as detected, not detected or not applicable. Use the units and reference information on your own report. Because the report is detailed and clinical, we recommend reviewing your results with a licensed practitioner who can interpret the findings in your clinical context.
