All Disease Begins in the Gut
Have you ever heard that saying, the phrase, “all disease begins in the gut”? This is attributed to the Ancient Greek Physician Hippocrates more than 2,500 years ago. After studying medicine for nearly 20 years, I couldn’t agree more.
Digestive distress is much more than just abdominal pain.
If you are suffering from intestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome or autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, the GI-Map can reveal what’s driving your symptoms. We are now offering the GI-Map for Gut Microbiome testing.
How it works
These simple test kits are available in our office for your convenience. You take it home and send your stool sample to their Georgia Laboratory, and that’s it! There is no need for another trip to the lab or doctor’s office.
Results are found in the following areas:
- Bacterial Pathogens
- Viruses
- Parasites, protozoa and worms
- H. Pylori and its virulence factors
- Commensal Bacterial (essential for a healthy microbiome)
- Dysbiotic Bacteria (potentially pathogenic)
- Fungi and Yeast
- Inflammation
- Immune Function
- Digestion and Absorption
Once we get your results back, a healing plan will be designed which usually requires some dietary changes, and functional supplements. We will have a discussion about how to get you back on track and feeling well again.
