I have ulcerative colitis and I recently got the. Metametrix GI comprehensive stool test. I was wondering if someone could help me interpret these results? My follow-up appointment is not for a few weeks and I was hoping to figure out what some of it means before going in.

The things that were in the "red zone" were low elastin, acidic stool, very high n-butyrate, high streptomyces bacteria, low fecal slgA.

Here are my results:
