Re: Good Flora Test...Does it Exist?       08/31/09 05:03 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota I would have to say it wasn't that beneficial. It is necessary if you think you may have parasites or if you suspect blood in the stool. It told me specifically what bacteria I had and what ones I was low on. But with 'plain' IBS the gut is essentially fine and chooses to misbehave. Therefore it doesn't hurt to take probiotics but we can't expect to be cured from finding out physical issues in the gut. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
