This is an education post to facilitate discussing this approach with your medical professionals. It is not medical advice for the treatment of any medical condition. Always consult with your medical professional before doing any  changes of diet, supplements or activity. Some items cites may interfere with prescription medicines.

First thing, the lists are not curated in a medical sense. They are unfiltered ranked items from published studies.

A 6-10 page list of recommendations cweightan occur from some reports. That is overwhelming, especially for the brain fogged. Ideally, a knowledgeable profession familiar with your medical history will go thru the list and pick items appropriate for you.

My common sense suggestions are the following:

• Never take something that you are uncomfortable with
  • You don’t like antibiotics — don’t do them
  • You are a vegan — don’t do a high meat diet
  • Go down a printed copy of the list and put a black line through those items.
• First step is to try reducing the number of items on the Avoid list that you can, items with the highest value weight are likely to have the greatest benefit.
• Second step is to add in 3-6 items on the Take list, items that you are not now taking
  • Highest weight is likely to have the greatest benefit.
  • Items with both a positive and a negative weight are likely less important because they are more uncertain.

When would you expect to see changes? I suspect it will take a month often — and there may be no apparent symptom changes.  After 2-4 months, it is likely best to get another test to see what impact these changes of have on your microbiome.

For myself, licorice made as a significant improvement over a month – I detected it because I took careful notes daily and in retrospective saw the improvement via my notes.

Again the lists are not “YOU  MUST DO ALL OF THESE OR YOU WILL NOT GET BETTER”,  they  are lists of items (some easy to do or obtain, others not) — each of which should contribute a bit more to normalizing you microbiome.

Another reader forwarded a report that I have not created an entry form for. This is one that is likely common in many parts of the world, especially in the US. To access it, click Diagnostic Solution GI-Map.

Report

Input Page

As before, entry matches the report. As with the other Genova input page we have five possible values:

• • ↓↓ – Red Low (left side)
  • ↓ – Yellow Low (left side)
  • ✓
  • ↑  – Yellow High (right side)
  • ↑↑  – Red High (right side)

The Report

For the report from the reader, it amounted to SIX Pages. It is important to understand these are general recommendation, based on the literature, and often need tuning — ideally with a knowledgeable medical profession.

A patient of his forwarded me the Metagenomics Stool results from Laboratorium voor Medische Ontledingen.  I have created a page to derive recommendations from it: Metagenomics Stool (De Meirleir).

Report

This is a long report with over 50 genus having ranges. An example is below

As with other lab tests, there is a simple entry page to record high, low and normals. The order is the same as on the report.

Note: If nothing appears, go back and try again — odd bug has appeared.

Bottom Line

More self-serve for people working with De Meirleir.

A reader forwarded their results — I am attempting to stop manually shifting data, instead create an entry page that does a better job. The page: Diagnostic Solution GI-Map
