Testing

• I spent over 2 years living in third world countries and was certain that I had parasites. Yet, the gut pathogens test said they were all negative. Should I take the Genova GI Effects Test?
• When do I retest my gut (with the GI-MAP test) to see if I eradicated pathogens? How necessary is a retest to make sure they're gone?
• My gut test shows I have a low bacterial diversity and low secretory IGA. What should I do?
• Why would a stool test for H. Pylori show positive and a breath test show negative?
• My labs did not show any gut problems. Could I still have an infection or parasite?
• My gut test states that no fungal, malarial, parasitic or bacterials should be taken 2 weeks prior to testing. I have removed my Lyme tinctures, but should I remove the following: curcumin, vitamins E, D, zinc, biotin, selenium, quercetin and boswellia?
• My pathogen lab results said E. coli. Does this mean I need to get rid of that?
• When you say do the GI Effects, which one are you talking about?
• Should one do testing for Epstein-Barr even if they have never had mono?
• What type of Epstein Barr virus test should I get?
• Which test screens for yeast and candida?
• Should I stop taking my VSL#3 Double Strength Probiotic before I do my SIBO test and my GI Effects test?
• My Epstein Barr virus test says VCA is positive. Does that mean it’s reactivated?
• E. coli and Endolimax nana cysts were detected on my gut test. What does this mean?
• The G.I. Effects test can be done over 1-3 days. Which one do you prefer?
• I live in the U.K. The Genoval Lab here does a G.I. Effects test. Would this test be the same as the one you recommend in the U.S.?
• How do you test for mycoplasma? Is this one of your necessary tests?
• What is the GI-MAP test?
• How can I find whether I’m Th-1 or Th-2 dominant? Does the Th1, Th2 level kind of fluctuate?
• How long should I wait to do another gut test after treatment?
• Which gut test tests for Yersinia; GI-MAP or the GI Effects profile?
• What test did you have to indicate you had Candida? What did you do to get rid of it?
• I have finished the triple treatment for H. Pylori, but I am still experiencing GI symptoms. What else should I be testing for? Do you have other recommendations for H pylori?
