Complete Microbiome Mapping Test – Comprehensive Gut Health Analysis
The Complete Microbiome Mapping Test is an advanced stool test designed to provide a thorough analysis of your gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome and key functional markers. Using cutting-edge DNA/PCR technology, this test captures a detailed picture of your gut ecosystem — including beneficial microbes, pathogens, parasites, and indicators of digestive and immune function — all from a single at-home stool sample.
What This Test Measures
Our Complete Microbiome Mapping Test evaluates both microbial populations and essential gastrointestinal markers to uncover hidden drivers of poor gut health:
Microbial Analysis
-
Parasites and Worms – Detects protozoan and helminth organisms that can contribute to digestive irritation.
-
Opportunistic Bacteria – Identifies bacteria that may overgrow and disrupt microbial balance.
-
Fungi and Yeast – Screens for fungal species such as Candida that can thrive when balance is disrupted.
-
Bacterial Pathogens – Detects harmful bacterial species linked to infection and inflammation.
-
Viral Pathogens – Identifies enteric viruses that can affect gut function.
-
Beneficial Bacteria – Measures protective microbes critical for digestion, immune support, and gut integrity.
Functional Gastrointestinal (GIT) Markers
These markers reveal how well your digestive system, immune defence, and gut barrier are functioning:
-
Faecal Occult Blood – Detects hidden blood in stool that may indicate mucosal irritation.
-
Calprotectin – A marker of intestinal inflammation.
-
Pancreatic Elastase – Assesses pancreatic enzyme output and digestive capability.
-
Secretory IgA (SIgA) – Reflects gut immune activity and mucosal defence.
-
Zonulin – Indicates intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”).
-
Beta-Glucuronidase – A bacterial enzyme linked to hormone and toxin metabolism.
-
Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs) – Key microbial metabolites essential for gut lining support and immune regulation.
Why This Test Is Crucial for Gut Health
The gut microbiome plays a central role in digestion, immune function, metabolic health, hormone balance, and overall wellbeing. Research shows that imbalances in microbial communities and functional impairments in the gut are linked to chronic digestive symptoms, inflammation, and systemic health issues.
Detect Hidden Imbalances
Traditional stool tests often miss subtle or low-abundance organisms and functional disturbances. Complete Microbiome Mapping uses advanced molecular technology to detect a wide range of microbes and functional markers that can be the underlying cause of persistent symptoms.
Support Digestive Health
Chronic bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, irritable bowel symptoms, and other digestive complaints frequently arise from microbial dysbiosis, inflammation, or enzyme deficiencies. Identifying these issues enables targeted interventions rather than symptom masking
Relevance for Auto-Immunity and Hormone Function
Auto-Immune Conditions
Emerging evidence links gut microbiome imbalances and immune marker changes with systemic immune dysregulation. Markers like secretory IgA and calprotectin offer insight into gut-related immune activation, often a feature in autoimmune conditions. i-screen
Hormone Balance
Gut microbes influence the metabolism of hormones and detoxification pathways. Enzymes such as beta-glucuronidase can affect hormonal recycling, which may contribute to symptoms of hormonal imbalance including mood disruption, menstrual irregularities, and metabolic disturbances.
Who Benefits from This Test
This test is especially valuable for individuals experiencing:
-
Persistent digestive discomfort (bloating, alternating bowel habits)
-
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
-
Autoimmune conditions or unexplained inflammation
-
Hormonal symptoms such as mood fluctuations, irregular cycles, or energy changes
-
Recurrent infections, immune dysregulation, or skin issues
-
Fatigue and systemic health concerns
How It Works
-
At-Home Sample Collection – Simple stool sample kit with clear instructions.
-
Laboratory Analysis – DNA/PCR technology provides sensitive and specific detection of microbes and markers.
-
Detailed Report – Delivering actionable insights into microbial balance and gut function.
-
Personalised Plan – Work with your clinician to interpret results and tailor nutrition, lifestyle, and therapeutic strategies.
Get Clarity On Your Gut Health
The Complete Microbiome Mapping Test offers a comprehensive view into your gut ecosystem and functional health. By identifying microbial imbalances and functional disruptions, this test empowers you and your practitioner to create targeted, evidence-based strategies that support digestive health, immune resilience, and hormonal balance.
