“I believe I did mark symptoms on my 2015 gut sample in your system.
The after is basically all of those things being gone and being in a long-term remission.”
The approach this reader tookis the Rickettsia/Jadin approach, covered in this earlier this month post. An approach with > 85% remission rate.
Symptoms that disappeared
End Products Shifts
Scanning through the various comparison for the earlier and later samples, items of note:
Bottom Line
Needless to say, I am happy about reading the changes and the reader willingness to share their results.
On the plus side for this reader:

End Products Shifts
Scanning through the various comparison for the earlier and later samples, items of note:
- Serotonin production went up almost four fold
- Amount of bile End Product being produced almost doubled
- Biogenic amines doubled
- D-Galactose dropped
- Fucose dropped
- Histamine dropped
- Propionate dropped
- Phylum
- Verrucomicrobia normalized
- Synergistetes normalized
- Proteobacteria normalized
Bottom Line
Needless to say, I am happy about reading the changes and the reader willingness to share their results.
On the plus side for this reader:
- Ability to get continuous antibiotics
- First sample was done less than 2 years after onset (dysbiosis was likely not strongly established)
- Verrucomicrobia seems to be a key player for this person (may not apply to others)
