We know there are many stool and microbiome testing kits that often promise clear diagnosis and guidance on diet recommendations, however sadly the scientific evidence for these tests is currently limited. The tests that are currently commercially available do not inform practical recommendations at present. We would be happy to discuss these in clinic with you.
We would also never want to mislead our clients with unnecessary testing, which can be very costly. Instead, we focus on evidence-based methods in clinical practice that can more accurately guide the strategies in your plan. We do hope that in the future the technology and research will improve to enable personalised recommendations based on microbiome tests, and we will certainly keep you updated as the research unfolds.
