Gut Health & IBS.
Struggling with bloating, fatigue, or irregular digestion?

Dr. Dave Moreno, M.D. and New Age Medical can restore gut health and manage IBS symptoms effectively and we can create a personalized plan to restore your gut health and improve your overall wellness.

New Age Medical has advanced testing and personalized care to restore your gut health.

The typical symptoms of Gut Health & IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) often include recurring abdominal pain or cramping, bloating, excessive gas, and changes in bowel habits such as diarrhea, constipation, or an alternating pattern of both. Individuals may also experience a sense of incomplete evacuation after a bowel movement and increased urgency or discomfort following meals. In cases of poor gut health, additional symptoms such as fatigue, food sensitivities, brain fog, skin irritation, and frequent digestive discomfort may also be present. These issues are believed to be related to imbalances in gut bacteria, inflammation, or a weakened intestinal barrier, all of which can negatively impact digestion and overall well-being.

The GI-MAP test gives a full picture of your gut health.

These are bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause infections or major gut issues:

Bad bacteria like Salmonella, C. difficile, and certain types of E. coli

Parasites such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium

Viruses like Norovirus and Adenovirus
H. pylori, a bacteria that can cause ulcers (and its harmful strains)

These are the friendly bacteria that help with digestion, immunity, and gut balance:

Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Faecalibacterium, among others

These bacteria are normally present in small amounts but can cause problems when overgrown:

Examples include Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and Proteus

Checks for yeast overgrowth, especially Candida, which can cause bloating, fatigue, and cravings

Looks at how well your body is digesting food:

Enzymes (like pancreatic elastase)
Fat absorption (through a marker called steatocrit)

Measures how your gut’s immune system is responding:

Calprotectin (gut inflammation)
Secretory IgA (overall gut immune health)
Anti-gliadin IgA (possible gluten sensitivity)

Assesses if there’s a healthy balance between good and bad bacteria, which can impact weight, energy, and digestion.

Board-Certified in Internal Medicine and Nutrition

The GI-MAP® Test

The GI-MAP test gives a full picture of your gut health—spotting infections, imbalances, inflammation, and how well your body is digesting food. It’s especially useful for people dealing with IBS, leaky gut, fatigue, bloating, or food sensitivities.

How do you know if you have a gut imbalance?
And how do we repair gut imbalance.

The GI-MAP® (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) test is a comprehensive stool analysis that utilizes quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology to detect and quantify a wide array of microorganisms and markers related to gut health. This test is instrumental in identifying the root causes of gastrointestinal symptoms, including those associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and leaky gut syndrome.
