What did your results show? Have you tried treating it?
I have KDM down as one of the consultants for bioscreen on my fecal microbiology result.
There is also a 'Dr Butt' and a 'Dr Buttfield'. ( not kidding)
Sorry aim,@Elph68 have you heard anything through the grapevine when they are likely to publish or good things about results out of interest.
@beaverfury do you mean to up the E.coli galactose is good to increase levels that are too low? just making sure I got that right
Nothing too nasty. No Prevotella, no streptococcus, no staphylococcus, zero clostridium.
Really high enterococcus faecalis though, 87.5%. This connects to cognitive dysfunctions, sleep and altered intestinal barrier. Normal distribution is <5%.
A few too many of some strain of bifidobacteria and eubacterium.
For bifidobacterium i've taken ampicillin, which is also part of my lyme/coinfection regime.
My stomach improved rapidly. It reduced the burning feeling and made my stomach a bit more robust towards food.
For E.coli they suggested supplementing with galactose ( a sugar found in lactose free milk).
Did you notice an improvement in your fatigue?
Have you retested to see what the levels of the gut bugs are now?
