DNA stool analysis/breath test

[nogutsnoglory]

I was reading an email from proponents of SCD and they recommend stool tests to see which bacteria are the highest in your gut, the good vs bad, whether they are resistant to antibiotics etc.

This supposedly paints a picture so you know what might kill the organisms creating problems.

They recommended this company but I don't know anything about any of this.

They also recommend a breath test to assess food sensitivity. Not food allergy just to see if foods bother you.

Interesting. I have no idea how useful it is, but it's interesting. Did you end up doing either test?

I haven't but I am definitely considering it. I know there are lots of tests so I want to ensure its valid.
