Hi guys, I’m a newbie here although I’ve suffered with M.E & autoimmune conditions for the best part of 20yrs! I am currently seeing a new private doctor to try to uncover the underlying nature of my health issues.
He has suggested the viral testing and bowl test which is sent to USA. It all looks very pricey and I wonder if it’s actually worth it. Can anyone give me their experience of having these tests and if it was worth while? Also I’m guessing it would be less expensive to have these tests done through an online company rather than through a clinic. Does anyone know of a great inclusive test or online reputable company where I can go to get these done? The private doc wants to charge £100 to test for each virus!

Many thanks
