GI MAP Stool Test Results: WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

GI MAP Stool Test Results: What do They Mean// Stool test results can be like trying to read a foreign language. In today's video, I show a real GI MAP sample report, and explain how to do your GI MAP test interpretation. I help you understand when to take your GI MAP stool test to your doctor, and when you can use a more home-based approach.

Thanks for watching! Have you ever done a GI MAP or other stool test? What did you learn about your gut? Tell me in the comments!

[@hiketyson]

Thanks for the video! I'm a 40 year old male who was feeling like a million dollars a month ago before I had my very first colonic. Ever since then, I feel like my world has been falling apart (Insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches.) My acupuncturist suggested a GI Map and Zonulin test. I sent it off on Tuesday. Can't wait to get my results back! :)

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

@@hiketyson Hi Jeremy, yes, the GI MAP is fascinating. I hope this video helps you understand what you're seeing. Thanks for watching! And I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with your colonic!

[@4noory]

You're awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I started working with a nutritionist here in the UK due to unexplained high ESR and CRP inflam markers that ive had for a few years now. Nutritionist suggested 1) Nordic GI Map, 2) Cyrex Array 12, and 3) Cyrex Array 3. These tests are quite expensive and I wondered if you had advice for which I should prioritise first in my journey/ which things are best to rule out first. Thank you

[@DarcMurkee]

Thank you, I've just sent the test away earlier this week - awaiting the results. Been dealing with pretty severe autoimmune and digestive issues for the past five years. I was diagnosed with 'mild Crohn's' in November 2019, but that never quite added up for me, I know there's more to the story. Unfortunately the doctors here in Nova Scotia are somewhat old fashioned and would never even think to recommend a test like this.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Glad I could help, and I hope your results have helpful new information for you.

[@gypsygarner2413]

I've read that high beta glucuronidase can have affects on your estrogen being recirculated back into your body and not being excreted out which causes alot of problems in women. I just ordered my GI MAP today excited to get it and get results.

[@gypsygarner2413]

Also I didn't hear you mention candida on this test. Did I miss it?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Hi Gypsy, the GI MAP does indeed test for candida and a few other yeasts. I don;t know too much about beta glucoronidase, but I did hear from someone on Dr. Ruscio's podcast that this marker isn't well validated for much. Did you get your results? What did they show?

[@Fstop313]

Thank you so much for this comment.

[@mmags]

Excellent overview thank you! Way more than I got from my ND! I do have h. Pylori 3.3e2 I have to pay another $180 to go see her. So much I need to learn about this GI Map. Thank you for any info you can share. Very clear, concise, and you know your stuff lady 👏🏼💕

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Aw, I'm so glad you found value in this video! What do you plan to do about the H. pylori? Thanks so much for watching :)

[@mmags]

@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you for replying! I haven’t seen her yet but she has a few things listed in my chart for my whole protocol: 1. GI Synergy packs 2. Biocidin liquid 3. Interfase Plus 4. Megastore probiotic This is to for my entire gut results Does this seem too extreme?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

@@mmags This is a reasonable strategy, not too extreme. Though I'm not sure about Biocidin's ability to specifically clear H. pylori. IT is a good product, though. Keep me posted!

[@mmags]

@@ConfluenceNutrition 💓👍🏼thank you very much! I will find out her plan for the h pylori. I appreciate your feedback!

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

[@Clauderee]

I just got my results back but waiting for it all to be put into perspective by my ND. I do see the high H Pylorii and there’s a high reading on strepp though.

[@omraz7864]

Gi map vs gi effects whats the difference and which one would u recommend i have eczema?

[@flowerflower3398]

Gi map give me two different H pylori results in 5 months !The first time h pylori prensent not high and the second time High H pylori with two virulence factor with I'm really confused !

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Hi Flower Flower, GREAT question! Stool tests are always ONE data point in time, and the community members of our microbiome in our guts grow and shrink over time, they aren't stable! So it's possible that the first test caught your HP infectoin early on, and as time went on, it expanded. OR, it's also possible your stool collection method was better on the second test, or maybe you took a biofilm buster before the second test? In any event, levels of any pathogen can change from one test to the next. I'm presuming you didn't do any treatment for HP between the two tests? This is why it's important to have someone knowledgable to help you interpret your test results who also understands your particular case, so you can create good action steps moving forward. Thank you for watching!

[@patmorin7124]

H Pylori is 1.1e3, and Secretory IgA is >6000, Anti-gliadin IgA is >500. What are your thoughts? My GI doc wants to repeat the H Pylori to confirm the result.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

I can't give specific advice about personal labs unless you are a signed client, but there are definitely some interesting results to work with there.

[@Rsysas]

Thank you

[@evaaiken9057]

My h-pylori result is 5.80e2 Is this a bad rating? Do I have a bad case of H-pylori?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

On the GI MAP test, the cutoff for a positive H pylori test is 1.000e3, meaning 1,000 or greater individual bacteria were found. so 5.80e2 means 580 bacteria. THus far, my experience with clients has been that treating is usually minimally effective with this level.

[@evaaiken9057]

I just had a GI stool test and I would like to know what mine means. My chart looks different than the one you are showi g here.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

THere are different types of tests, but the categories are usually similar...but usually, you'll need to ask the practitioner who ordered for you, or contact the lab directly if you didn't work with someone to get it.

[@MultiMcgurk]

I done a test . Got positive for d fragils but rest was ok . Only done test too see what going on . What you recommend on parasite ?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Parasites can be difficult to eradicate, but common remedies are black walnut and artemesinin herbs or medications. I'm not sure what MDs use. I made a video a long time ago with some suggestions, you can watch that one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKO2aWqBe6d0j6c Thanks for watching!

[@sierrawilcox9299]

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

HI Sierra, thanks for the suggestion...since I record using natural light, sometimes it's a little dim.

Thank you for all the detailed info. I'm interested in downloading your Roadmap to Gut Recovery but it won't accept my email address. When I click on "Send Me The Roadmap" it does nothing and I'm bummed about it

Hi StarGalaxy, I've been having a little trouble with this system, it might be stuck in the queue. If you send me an email with your email address, I can check and see if it's on its way. If not, I can make sure to get you the Roadmap! Thanks for your interest!

[@TheCambra]

You could tell she's one of those doctors that don't listen to her patients 😂

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

What do you mean, my friend?

[@fergyjtube]

High steatocrit and low pancreatic enzymes...help!

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Hi Julie! These mean that there is excess undigested fat in your poop, and that your pancreas also isn't producing enough enzymes. A digestive enzyme focused on fat digestion, like Enzymedica LypoGold, may be a help in this situation, but it's also important to be in connection with your doctor about this. Thanks for watching!

[@fergyjtube]

@@ConfluenceNutrition have you ever seen steatocrit as high as 44 and elastase as low as 143? Am I in extreme danger? Something you work with or do I need to get a medical doc involved? My IgA is also extremely low. I’m just very scared. This is all after a six month later parasite cleanse.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

@@fergyjtube Hi Julie, these aren't anything to panic about, they're just excellent indicators that there's work to do supporting your digestive function. If you're worried, you should alwasy visit your doctor. And I think there are a lot of layers that can be addressed before that's necessary, depending on what kinds of things are going on for you. I'm very soon launching a new online course that will be teaching how to help you go from digestive and food chaos to a carefree relationship with your gut. If you'd like to be in the know when I launch, let me know! Whatever is going on for you, I can likely put you back in the driver's seat and help you feel a lot better. Thanks for watching!

[@MrVenomDon]

Can I take this test if I am in the UK?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

I'm not sure if you can access it in the UK...I am able to order for EU clients, but I don't know how that applies or doesn't at this point, given Brexit. You can probably find a local-to-you practitioner who could order it.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

You might consider asking Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory if they have a list of practitioners in the UK who offer it.
