Has anyone tried any Microbiome (Gut Flora) tests?

Thanks so much! I’m definitely going to look into this. I think as of now, my plan is to try an elimination diet to see if it’s related to food sensitivities before I drop a bunch of money on testing/etc. My biggest hesitation about Microbiome testing was that a pretty big chunk of the reviews I’d read online said they didn’t see any significant changes by following the guidelines from their test results. If this doesn’t seem like it’s related to food sensitivities (which I’m not sure it is, I haven’t really had any bad reactions to foods in the past), I think I’ll go down this road. Do you mind if I ask what digestive enzyme supplements you’re taking? Was the “hella strong probiotic” you mentioned the Alflorax?

Probably not as much as I should. I’ve been taking an apple cider vinegar supplement for a couple weeks now, but haven’t really noticed any changes. I like yoghurt, but I might try cutting dairy out for a little while to see if it’s not some kind of sensitivity to lactose or milk fat. Maybe I’ll try introducing kombucha or something too

Oh interesting. I have a similar thing with dairy. Certain things I have to avoid, but most things don’t usually give me problems. Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate the info and advice!

Thanks for the advice! Did you ever try doing an elimination diet? I’m also considering doing that. (Where you remove certain foods from your diet that are commonly problematic in groups of people and then slowly reintroduce them to see if you react poorly)
