What is the GI-Standard Microbiome Profile?

NutriPATH’s GI-Standard Microbiome Profile (test 2206) is a stool analysis that measures selected gastrointestinal microorganisms alongside markers related to digestion, inflammation and local immune activity. You collect one sample at home and return it to the laboratory for analysis.

Why the different name? NutriPATH previously marketed this panel as Complete Microbiome Mapping, also described as a GI Map test. The current laboratory name is GI-Standard Microbiome Profile. Panel details can change, so the current NutriPATH specifications apply.

The Diagnostic Solutions GI-MAP is a separate laboratory panel; see the alternative testing option below.

What does the test look at?

Microorganisms

Selected beneficial, commensal and opportunistic bacteria, as well as organisms in the panel’s pathogen, parasite, yeast and viral categories.

Digestive, inflammatory & gut barrier markers

Measures markers including pancreatic elastase, faecal calprotectin, secretory IgA and zonulin. Zonulin is associated with regulation of intestinal permeability, sometimes called “leaky gut”.

Stool chemistry

Short-chain fatty acids and other reported markers help describe aspects of the intestinal environment; they do not independently establish a diagnosis.

Is this test suitable for you?

If you have persistent or recurring digestive concerns, this test may be one source of additional information to discuss with a qualified practitioner. It can be considered in the context of bloating, abdominal discomfort, altered bowel habits or questions about specific gastrointestinal organisms.

Testing isn’t always the best first step. A careful clinical history and conventional investigations may be more appropriate. Seek medical assessment for blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss, significant or worsening abdominal pain or other concerning symptoms. Microbiome stool tests do not, by themselves, diagnose the cause of IBS or other gastrointestinal conditions.

A personalised report with clear next steps

Your Results Review explains the findings most relevant to your symptoms, answers the questions you raised and sets out a practical nutrition and lifestyle plan. Where appropriate, it also includes supplement recommendations with clear instructions, what to monitor and when to review progress.

Stephen Ward reviews your results alongside your completed questionnaire and checks the report before it is shared with you.

Laboratory report
