Today I want to talk to you about everyone’s favourite subject: stool testing.

In particular, I’ll show you how a stool test helped Kathryn transform her health when living with Crohn’s (but this can be beneficial for pretty much anyone’s health).

Kathryn had been struggling with digestive problems for a few years before she was finally diagnosed with Crohn’s.  

No matter what medication they tried her on she was still frequently going to the toilet and said at times she felt like she looked pregnant she was so bloated.

To start with, we had Kathryn send some stool samples off to the lab for analysis.  

This told us SO MUCH more about what was going on in her body.  

Here’s a few extracts from the report we received back…

The above shows the first part of the report, which gave us a snapshot of the health of the bacteria within Kathryn’s gut.

In particular, the report indicated there were possibly relatively low levels of good bacteria (which, itself can be a major problem) but also, quite significantly, 2 different types of bacteria within the “Dysbiotic flora” column.  

These bacteria (which are considered the “bad” type) certainly could have been huge contributors towards her symptoms.

It didn’t end there though as she also showed to have a parasite (Blastocystis Hominis)…

…as well as issues with how she digested Carbohydrates.

These are significant findings.  

For someone to have 2 “bad” types of bacteria, a parasite, problems with carbohydrate digestion, as well as potentially low levels of good bacteria, can be a real recipe for health problems.  

It was no wonder she was suffering!

So what did we do?

On top of the diet changes, Kathryn went on to a supplement protocol (which she agreed to, she was obviously welcome to review the results with her doctor first if she wished).  

Essentially, this was designed to primarily fight the parasite and bacteria, using natural supplements that have been shown to be very effective at killing these things off.  

We also used certain things to help with the carbohydrate problem, and the low levels of good bacteria which left her gut in a really strong place.

How did her symptoms change?

Over this time, the changes were significant.

• Her bloating went away completely (she’s realised many of her clothes are now too big for her as her stomach has reduced in size so much!)
• Her bowel movements are now under control (most days, one a day)
• Her energy levels have increased
• She feels like she has her life back and can do what she wants without worrying about her symptoms

The change has been so positive to see.  After we worked together she sent me this note…

“Thank you so much for all you’ve done.  A couple of days ago we went out for dinner with some friends and it was so nice firstly feeling comfortable in what I was wearing, but also lovely to able to sit at the meal, enjoy my food, and not worry about having to rush to the toilet at a moments’ notice! And I actually felt good after the meal too, which hasn’t happened for a long time!”

It’s so good to see her turnaround.

So many people are living with bugs and bacterial issues and all the things that her stool test showed, but they don’t know about it.

This means that almost regardless of what they do with their diet, stress management, lifestyle etc, they will never feel as good as they want to.

It was this type of thing that was leaving my wife very ill with her ulcerative colitis, even after we’d sorted out her diet and more.

And it's things like this that are a part of many other people’s symptoms without them even knowing it.
