Symptoms like gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation let us know something is not right with our digestive health. Testing gives us information on the root cause of these symptoms which directs individualized treatment that promotes long-term success.

The GI MAP test results help Dr. Jess create an individualized treatment plan to help get to the root cause of your symptoms  and improve your health for lasting success.  

For example, do you suffer from bloating? 

Bloating can be due to numerous reasons such as low stomach acid, stress, anxiety, gut dysbiosis, or food intolerances. So where do you start?
