1. The INNMAP Model – Patients-GI

At INNMAP, we understand that digestive problems often have more than one cause. Stress,
food sensitivities, microbiome imbalance, inflammation, hormones, and lifestyle can all play
a role. Many patients live for years with bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhea, or fatigue with
all the tests appearing to be normal – without receiving clear answers.

Our approach is different.

We look at the full picture — not only the symptoms.

INNMAP combines:
● Advanced laboratory testing (microbiome, gut barrier, inflammation)
● Personalized nutrition
● Genetic and metabolic insights
● Holistic lifestyle review
● Expert medical interpretation

This allows us to understand why you feel the way you feel and what your gut needs to heal.

Our goal is simple:

to give you a clear explanation of your symptoms and a personalized plan that finally works.

2. Biomarkers -what are they?

Digestive symptoms can come from many sources. These are the main areas we check:

🔵 Calprotectin – “Is there inflammation?”
Shows if there is irritation in the gut. Helps differentiate IBS from more serious conditions.

🟢 Secretory IgA (sIgA) – “How strong is your gut immunity?”
Tells us how your immune system responds to foods, stress, and bacteria.

🥗 IgA Food Panel:
Identifies immediate or mucosal immune reactions to foods — useful when symptoms
appear quickly after eating (bloating, cramps, skin reactions).

🟠 Zonulin – “Is your gut barrier leaking?”
Helps identify increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), which may lead to bloating,
sensitivities, and inflammation.

🟡 Pancreatic elastase – “Are you digesting food properly?”
Shows whether the pancreas produces enough enzymes.

🟣 Microbiome profile – “Who lives in your gut?”
We look at:
● Good bacteria
● Overgrowths
● Missing beneficial species
● Yeast
● Balance between different bacterial groups

This helps explain bloating, irregular bowel movements, pain, and food intolerance.

🟤 Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)
These are produced by good bacteria and help protect the gut, reduce inflammation, and
support immunity.

⚪ Bile acids
Important for fat digestion. Imbalances can cause diarrhea or constipation.

🔬 DNA Gut or genetics
Shows if you have genetic tendencies toward:
● food sensitivities
● inflammation
● microbiome imbalance
● difficulty breaking down certain nutrients

🥗 IgG Food Sensitivity Panel – “Delayed food reactions”
This test helps identify delayed immune responses (IgG antibodies) to foods.
These reactions:
● appear hours to days after eating,
● can cause bloating, headaches, fatigue, skin issues, joint pain, and IBS-like symptoms,
● are often hard to detect without testing.

It does not diagnose allergies — instead, it helps us understand which foods may be
causing low-grade inflammation or overload for your system.

3. INNMAP Diagnostic Philosophy

“Why don’t my symptoms show up on regular tests?”

Many digestive problems are functional — meaning symptoms are real, but routine tests are
often normal.

We go deeper.

INNMAP combines 4 layers of information (once you are after all the conventional tests and
gastroenterologist examination):

Symptoms – how you feel day-to-day
Your history – medical background, family medical history, habits, environment.
Biomarkers – what your gut and immune system show
Microbiome – the bacterial environment that affects digestion, mood, metabolism
Lifestyle & environment – stress, sleep, diet, toxins, hormones

Together, these give us a full picture so we can treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
