Re: Metametrix stool test, quick question
I heard you live in Quatar, wow. Sounds interesting!
You are NOT a zombie, I've never seen a zombie with a beard, LOL, they always seem to look reasonably clean shaven yet "demented" with torn clothes and blood oozing out of their mouth, I know this to be true, my teenagers watched "Zombieland" the other week.
Yoe, trust me on this one, I use Doctor's Data in Illinois, Chicago, they are a great lab. I've been testing with them for years and know them to be top notch. Call me Eric, I hate the word "doctor", such a "self-important" word that has no meaning.
I charge a fee for working with patients though generally, and work a lot through Skype. That way I can give a case the time and attention it needs, otherwise there is just a "quick email exchange" back and forth and we don't get to the bottom of things.
My clinic has patients in almost 30 countries, mainly online, anyone with a good net connection is good to go, that way we talk face to face, and you get instant rapport. If you are serious, STOP all dietary supplements for awhile, let the gut come under it's own steam, eat a generally OK diet but try not to omit too much. Once you have established a good symptom pattern (essentially how you have been feeling, pretty crap I take it, for some time) then do the three stool samples on concurrent days. Send the testkit back to Chicago and the results will come back in about three weeks. Then contact me with the PDF, then schedule a time with my receptionist and let's see what is going on. What do you think?
