Re: Good Flora Test...Does it Exist?       08/28/09 07:39 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Stool tests are normally done to detect unwanted bacteria not to determine the level of 'good' bacteria. There are about 300-500 different bacteria in the bowel. Your GI doctor is correct. There isn't a reliable stool test to accurately determine if the levels of each of the hundreds of different good bacteria in the bowel are adequate. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
