I have recently started taking probiotics but I mix them up. Each week I take a different one. I also eat yogurt and plan on starting making Kefir again once I buy new grains. There is a yeast in Kefir that has been shown to colonize in the gut and it helps to keep candida in check.

I'd like to get my gut bacteria done sometime. Like you, I can't afford to do so right now. I'd bet money that my ME is related to changes in my gut microbiome after taking antibiotics.

Go to the 'compare' tab and you can see how your results compared to other responders.

I would say that your results are good, Rosie. I think that we want to have good diversity in our bacteria, which, unfortunately, I don't have. No surprise there though as I've been put on so many needless antibiotics over the years. :(

Great! What did your results show?

I received my results this morning, also. For my sinus sample, my Firmicules are higher than average, my Actinobacteria are lower than average, and the Proteobacteria are pretty much non-existent. The other bacteria were all less than 1%. Now I have to figure out what all of this means. I scored...

Rich Van Konynenburg did not recommend Glutathione supplements because his research showed that they didn't work for people with ME/CFS.

@Arnie Pye Have you been checked for acid reflux? As @andypants mentioned, it could be that you have an inflammed esophagus and/or stomach.

I have recently discovered that my frequent sinusitis and sore throats is actually due to 'Silent Acid Reflux'.

I get joint pain in my fingers if I over use the computer mouse or when I am doing something like weeding a garden.

I just checked my account and my results are now being processed. Yeah!!!

Not all probiotics are the same. There are hundreds of bacteria and yogurt only provides a few of those.

The problem with the study for Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, (aka Align) is that the researchers were giving the test subjects 10 pills per day, not the recommended one per day as per the instructions on the package. That would make it very expensive for someone to do this on their own unless...

It won't be registered until you go on line and give them the Kit Id # and your personal information.

Yes! I totally agree 100%.

I will go to my grave knowing that I did not have ME/CFS until three days after starting on a "skookum" dose of Penicillin. That is when my ME kicked in, and within the year, allergies and Chronic Sinusitis.

Until we have some form of testing available, I don't think that anyone can know if they are the same or not. If what this article says is correct, then I'd guess that at least half of us don't belong here on S4ME.

I didn't see a cut off date at all.

I thought first of all that they had accidentally repeated one of the questions but after reading them over a few times I realized there was a one word difference.

It depends on your neighbourhood. Going around the block is basically going to the end of your street, turning left or right and walking down to the next street and then walking down that street and walking back to your street coming from the opposite direction you started in. (I hope that makes...
