Re: Info on gut infections, simple and informative

Hi Blistering,

I've done a similar test with GI profile Metametrix or Genova. I'm East Europe based so its kind of hard to do Metametrix from here - long distance and money. My test was performed in Germany in a lab called Enterosan (they have a website in german - google translate); and they tests similar items (not identically) with the ones above. plus some blood tests:

the results didn't tell I have parasites or infection with bacteria but the other values made me think i have: in a logical way isnt it :) ? if you dont have the good guy...you have the others. in terms of GI tract things are like that; black or white :)

- very low beneficial gut flora/ very low vit.D / low hemoglobine / high eosinophile / enterococus bacteria high, beneficial e.coli low

btw i've read here somewhere theres a lab in Brasil LABION i guess performing parasitic tests and that they are good. and cheaper. but they dont perform the other parameters as Metametrix or Genova. I did usual test in UK - nothing. A friend of mine did usual stool test in US - nothing. so usual tests, national health system rarely work - my conclusion.

I'll be interested if you do the tests what will be your results.

good luck,

dave
