Helpful thank you

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Thanks so much for watching, Rose...did you run a GI MAP?

[@anit7661]

Can I take laxatives before the sample is taken?

[@sherryewert]

I am currently taking digestive enzymes and betaine HCL. Should I with hold that a few days before the test?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

No, those are usually ok to continue.

[@sonjas.8911]

Should one stop any probiotics or biofilm disruptors or antimicrobials, before taking the test or can one continue without affecting the result. Also, I just stopped a 2 week course of Rifaximin. Can I test now or should I wait a bit? Thanks for the video.

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Hi Sonja, the lab recommends waiting two weeks after finishing antimicrobials (including antibiotics) to test. You can continue to use probitics, and biofilm busters often help improve testing results.

[@taniadow60]

Thanks for the info! On the form do I need to provide credit card information if doctor checked bill Clinician?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

If it says bill to clinician, probably not. If you have questions, call your provider and ask.

@@ConfluenceNutrition do you work with people who have osteoporosis?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

@@taniadow60 Hi Tania, I work with all kinds of people with many types of conditions, but the thing I help people with is IBS and/or SIBO specifically. I don't have expertise around osteoporosis.

[@theoneandonlypinkypinky8245]

Do you Fed ex the box back with al of the other stuff?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Yes, the kit comes with a box and a return shipping envelope, I believe it's FedEx.

[@kavyadevan2592]

Mam can you please tell me if it's useful for symptoms of IBS

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Yes, absolutely!

[@Bluestella33]

Can you read the test and then offer ways to eliminate any parasites?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Yes, I do offer a one-time session to review test results. You can book that here if you like: p.bttr.to/3MygN9x

[@gerardoreyes3669]

I AM FROM MONTERREY, MEXICO . CAN YOU SEND THE KIT AND ALSO CONSIDERING THAT IT CAN BE PAID BY BANK TRANSFER?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Hi Gerardo, unfortunately, I can't just ship to you without an established client-practitioner relationship, and I no longer do test-only set ups. And beyond that, I don't think I can ship a kit to Mexico :( Sorry I can't be of more help.

[@samuelnorberg9004]

i drank a bunch of saltwater to help me poop, do i now have to wait 2 days until i make the GI MAP Stool test?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

it would probably be best to wait until your normal, average bowel movements return.

[@integrativetiara2140]

Does it matter where you are in your cycle for females? Like menstruation?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

No, it doesn’t matter, but you may get better results on the parasite screens from collecting near the full moon.

[@integrativetiara2140]

Ooh that’s perfect! Does it have to be on the exact day or just around it?

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

@@integrativetiara2140 Not exactly, but say 1-2 days before to 1-2 days after. Somewhere in that range should be the best.

[@integrativetiara2140]

@@ConfluenceNutrition Thank you! Such a big help

They gave me two biles

[@ConfluenceNutrition]

Is it possible it was a different brand? Some stool tests provide multiple vials.
