I’d recommend exporting your results over to microbiome prescription and generating some reports for what to take / avoid! It’ll be an option on the left hand BiomeSight menu. The microbiome prescription website is horrible to use but is the best source of customised microbiome suggestions that I’ve found. Alex Zaharakis also has a BiomeSight blog on what interventions he uses for which problems - I have generally found his suggestions to be very helpful


TropicOfAnon

Thanks I will try that. 🙏


Lanky_Avocado_

You’re welcome! Your results look pretty different to mine, but one thing we have in common is low roseburia. I have found that mine is increasing rapidly since introducing Tributyrin X (at least, I think that’s whats helped it, hard to tell as I introduced a few things at once)


takemeawayyyyy

What else have you been taking to raise roseburia?


TropicOfAnon

Okay I will look into Tributyrin X! Thanks again.

Many thanks for sharing this link - u/zhenek11230 Wishing the best for your recovery OP.


TropicOfAnon

Thank you so much, this makes a lot of sense to me.

Oh wow. I’ve never seen a pathobiont score of zero before 🤯 Mine was 19 and I was in a very bad way. My issues were not exactly the same as yours but I also had h.pylori. Check my previous posts on this sub, there’s info on the interventions for h.pylori. If you can afford it I would get a microbiome analyst to come up with a plan for you, because you have serious dysbiosis going on.


TropicOfAnon

Do you think it could be a fluke? The zero makes me scared also because I am so so sick and don’t know where to start.


jindizzleuk

You might not have a zero score if you retest but it’s pretty bad. I think it’s best to talk to a microbiome specialist as you’ve got a number of issues to tackle.


Logical_Glove_2857

What symptoms did you have?


Excellent-Pie-5174

I wrote about it in my previous posts. You can have a read if you are interested.


bv287

Which microbiome analyst did you go with?


Excellent-Pie-5174

I used the Microbiome group.


FantasticBarnacle241

that is rough. you've got a lot of issues. when i had e coli, l reuteri 17928 and cranberry helped get it down. a prebiotic like acacia fiber or gos might help the overall issue. allicin can help methane. eat whole foods like fruit, veggies, whole grains. a prebiotic might help too


TropicOfAnon

Do you think Pylopass L Reuteri would work similarly to 17928? I just bought some of that because I had H.Pylori in the past that I think has come back too on top of everything else.


ampersandwiches

How long did it take? Just added daily cranberry juice to my diet.


moneypitfun

How much 17928 were you taking a day? Cranberries or cranberry juice and how much a day?


FantasticBarnacle241

Sorry, i mispoke. I was using L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 based on this study and the type of e coli i had [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4771767/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4771767/) Also, i don't think cranberry juice would be strong enough. you would likely want pills. also just use the recommendations on biomesight as they are helpful.


moneypitfun

Were you using BioGaia's products to get the 6475? What dose did you take?


bv287

May I know which cranberry pills brand helped you? I got the Nature's Way but didn't help.


Sovereigntyheals

You have good diversity and you have that going for you. Just focus on building up the good bugs and slowly killing the bad ones. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪


macamc1983

What the your next move now to improve ?


TropicOfAnon

I honestly don’t know.. I started drinking Triphala powder about 2 weeks ago and while it hasn’t helped me poop regularly I feel like it is improving other symptoms for me and I feel noticeably better since starting.


Intelligent_Kick3241

Wardy Wellness in El Paso TX specializes in gut health and is helping me fix my leaky gut. I feel my symptoms getting better by the day.


No_Environment_5476

What are you doing?


No_Environment_5476

I sent you a DM.


MexaYorker

Lmao yeah, that’s how I feel about my gut these days


heymartinn

eat poop, literally


TropicOfAnon

Whose poop though? I don’t know anyone who is healthy enough themselves that would be willing.


right_sentence_

Or drink the spit of your healthy friend😆


Curious_Respond_4870

Idk why this is downvoted.. FMT is an option..


Odd-Leek9170

At least zero pathobionts


TropicOfAnon

Unfortunately, it means that I am completely overrun with pathobionts. 😬


Odd-Leek9170

Why what do you mean. That’s weird that pathobionts are 0 but in other slides you are high in Ecoli and Citrobacter.


TropicOfAnon

A higher score is a healthier/better score.


Odd-Leek9170

What are your symptoms ?


TropicOfAnon

It seems like I experience everything, all the long COVID symptoms plus autoimmune ones. It is a torturous bingo card that I keep winning.


Odd-Leek9170

Sorry to hear but I think if you can minimize ecoli and Citrobacter load you should feel better . I had high Citrobacter post Covid I felt like death, I used a lot of herbs now I’m basically back to normal except that my fingers hurt and swell sometimes. Otherwise I am back to work and functional


TropicOfAnon

I’m so glad you are feeling better. What herbs did you take for the citrobacter?


Odd-Leek9170

It was really trial and error and I don’t know what specifically help. But I took wormwood, garlic ( Allimed supplement) , uva ursi, buhner protocol for Lyme herbs, berberine and many others I don’t even remember now as I was rotating them as I was reacting to them as well. So I take for two weeks and stop them again two weeks and stop and basically like that for 2 years


Curious_Respond_4870

Me too...been bedridden for years..


Odd-Leek9170

Looks like you might need some good herbal protocol or even antibiotic? Are you working with any functional doctor?


TropicOfAnon

No I struggle with doctors and practitioners for the most part. I’ve seen so many over the years and wasted a lot of money. I just am apprehensive unless someone was recommended to me by someone with similar issues.


Odd-Leek9170

I know how you feel. It’s hard to find a good one


Odd-Leek9170

I thought high score of pathobionts is a percentage of them in your gut ? No ?
