Got my metametrix results!

Unfortunately I have no idea what is means. The things that were in the "red zone" were low elastin, acidic stool, very high n-butyrate, high streptomyces bacteria, low fecal slgA.

These were my results:

Has anyone else had similar results or know what this means? I don't see my doc about the results for a few more weeks so until then it's all interneting to try and interpret it all!

It does, thanks Quincy!

It's a stool test and costs $800. Just google "metametrix comprehensive stool test" and you can find it. It needs to be ordered by a doctor, but I believe Diagnostech does one you can order yourself, not sure of the cost. I found a "advanced integrative doctor" (both md and naturopath) who ordered it for me. A few people have done it on here, with varying results. I did a search on here for other people's results but they are all so different it didn't really help me with mine. The link Quincy posted helped a bit but I still don't understand it fully. Oh well, I will hopefully be enlightened in a few weeks!
