Testing:

In general Dr Natasha does not recommend testing. It is expensive and often gives quite variable results. These companies offer some options. The Ubiome is quite interesting in general and you can order a kit so you can get a before and after look at your microbiome. But if you have certain symptoms you may as well just start the diet so we have some links to some helpful questionaires as well.
