I had one of these done by a lab in the US called Metametrix. Mine was a DNA-based stool analysis and it cost about $400 as I recall. (Maybe a little less.) It said I was a little low in some gut flora, had no parasites, had a few possible malabsorption issues--and a ton of the h. pylori bacteria. I had the test done through an alternative practitioner/nutritionist, but ended up taking the printout to my regular doc (on the nutritionist's recommendation) to get treated for the h. pylori. My doc didn't bat an eye. Saw the results and wrote out the RX, then six months later ran a followup stool test (a basic one covered by my insurance) to make sure treatment had worked.
