GUT HEALTH

Gut health impacts nearly everything—your digestion, hormones, immunity, metabolism, mood, skin, and energy. At Lumi, we offer advanced gut testing using the GI-MAP, a DNA-based stool test that measures your microbiome, inflammation, digestive function, pathogens, parasites, yeast, and overall gut balance. Instead of guessing, we use objective data to identify the root cause of bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, acne, fatigue, autoimmune flares, and stubborn weight changes.

FAQ's

What is the GI-MAP?

The GI-MAP is a highly advanced stool test that uses qPCR DNA technology to detect bacteria, yeast, parasites, viruses, inflammation markers, digestive markers, and imbalances in the gut microbiome. It is far more accurate and comprehensive than standard stool cultures!

How do I take the test?

It is a simple at-home stool collection. The kit comes with clear instructions. You collect one sample, mail it back in the prepaid mailer, and results return in 10–14 days.

How long does gut healing take?

Most patients see improvements within 4–6 weeks, but full healing varies from 8–16 weeks depending on the severity of dysbiosis, inflammation, or presence of pathogens.

Do supplements need to be stopped before the test?

We usually recommend:
Stop probiotics 2–4 weeks prior if possible
Stop antimicrobial herbs 2 weeks prior
Continue regular medications unless instructed otherwise
