* How many stool samples are collected for this test?
I think 4, I took the test 6 weeks ago.
* How accurate is the GI Effects Test for parasites, bacteria, Candida and other entities?
I think it's very accurate for positives, but not accurate for specific species. This is my take since all results are no taxonomy.
* How long does it take to receive the test results?
4 weeks to finish, 5 weeks to receive. E-mail metametrix and they'll inform you. 2 weeks is the standard but they're always backed up
* Were you content with the test finding?
Yes
* Did the results of your GI Effects Test help you to receive the proper treatment for your bacteria, Candida or parasite condition?
Not by itself
* Is Metametrix the best lab to send stool specimens to (for parasite testing)?
Don't know, my MD is making me get the geneva one now after the metametrix so I can let you know how they compare is 5 weeks.
