My son Nick has horrible intestines and says when he eats and the food passes thru it feels like poison is being released in his body.
Yes and it showed I had 87% bactericides and hardly any beneficial bacteria. Nil beneficial E Coli, nor Lactobacillus and Bifido but lots of pathogenic ones so it was a very bad result.has anyone had any microbiome tests, like uBiome? I don't know if I have dysbiosis or a chronic gut infection or a hybrid...

Since September I started taking stuff like Neem and also probiotics like Prescript Assist, E Coli, L Fermentum and L Rhamnous but I have recently also taking some with L Acidophilus and its brought back SIBO badly and having had great energy 100% of the time for a week I have picked up yet another nasty virus and feel back to how I was.
So my experience with treating the gut is that it will so readily go back to its bad state if the wrong probiotics are taken.
I am back to Prescript Assist for a month and also taking a macrolide to kill off some of the pathogenic stuff. Also I have to address yeast issues because the metabolites of Clostridia species have shown up in my recent Organic Urine Profile (like a MAP) but that's another story which isn't a happy one either!
