Gut Microbiome GI Mapping Test Sydney
Are you dealing with unresolved gut health issues like IBS, bloating, or food intolerances? Our bodies house trillions of microbes in the gut and on the skin, impacting our health. The gut microbiome, with over 1,000 bacterial species, plays a vital role in immune, brain, and digestive health. It starts influencing us at birth and affects our development and growth. Discover your microbiome’s insights through GI mapping, providing personalized reports and recommendations for better health and well-being from our clinical nutritionist.
The GI-MAP (GI-Microbial Assay Plus) is unique in the field of comprehensive stool testing. It relies exclusively on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.
You see in our bodies there are Trillions of microbes which reside for the most part inside your GUT and on your skin which can have a direct affect on our health. Most of the microbes in your intestines are found in your large intestine in an area called the cecum, and they are referred to as the GUT MICROBIOME
According to recent research, scientist estimate that here are more than 100 Trillion cells in your body. There are roughly 37.2% of human cells and the rest are believed to be bacterial cells giving a ratio in your body of 3 to 1 of bacterial cells over human. What this means is that you are more bacteria than human!!!!
There are over 1,000 species of bacteria in the human gut microbiome, and each of them plays a different role in your body. Most of them are extremely important for your health including supporting immune, brain and digestive health, while others may cause disease and are termed pathogenic bacteria. The gut microbiome refers to all of the microbes in your intestines, which act as another organ and is crucial for your health.

As mentioned the gut microbiome affects us from birth and throughout life by controlling the digestion of food, immune system, central nervous system and other bodily processes it plays a vital role and can affect brain health by producing brain chemicals and communicating with nerves that connect to the brain also known as the Gut Brain Immune axis.
