Gi map test in Ireland

kingbhome · 2019-07-13 09:55:51

Is there any labs that does a GI map test in Ireland. I'm also in some supplements to help with gut issues. How long should I stop taking them before I get the test.

The way diagnostic testing works is that you go to your doctor, discuss your signs/symptoms etc, and the Dr decides what tests need to be performed, and points you to where you need to go.

*IF* your Dr believes that this test is what is needed, then they will perform it or refer you to where it can be done.

If they don't, they won't.

I know nothing about the GI MAP test other that what I saw on a quick Google search. However, the little bit I did see would lead me to believe that there is a high likelihood that this test performs no function other than separating the gullible from their money.
