Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi my son is due to be re tested and has come off his supplements, he is having the optimum nutrition done also. In the leaflet it says to wait 14 days after stopping probiotics before taking the stool sample but we were told to take the sample after a week. What would you suggest? He has also been drinking water kefir which Genova diagnostics have said to stop but that now puts us back another week. This means he'll go 3 weeks without any supplements. In the short term he seems happy enough without his supplements but we've been doing them for 8 months now and I don't want him to lose any utritional gains etc. Any advice would be great.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think stopping supplements is a daft idea, you need a picture of whats going on WITH the supps he takes, JMHO Mandi x Hi my son is due to be re tested and has come off his supplements, he is having the optimum nutrition done also.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 We always did testing without making any changes (we always found this useful and later when we did Yasko this was the way that was recommended).

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 To be honest that's what I would have thought. He's been on alot of supplements and thought that was the point to see where he is with the supplements but they say it can give a false reading. we're doing the urine test tonight for the nutritional evaluation and then at least it's only been less than a week and then we can start again with the vits and minerals etc until we get the results. I view water kefir as diet, stopping that is like saying give him a rubbish diet till the tests are done. i said to my partner if he was eating sauerkraut we wouldn't take it away. Thanks for your replies. > > > > I think stopping supplements is a daft idea, you need a picture of whats > > going on WITH the supps he takes, JMHO > > > > Mandi x > > > > > > In a message dated 14/05/2012 16:32:57 GMT Daylight Time, > > teresaclarke28@ writes: > > > > > > > > > > Hi my son is due to be re tested and has come off his supplements, he is > > having the optimum nutrition done also.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 My thoughts exactly Mx I view water kefir as diet, stopping that is like saying give him a rubbish diet till the tests are done. i said to my partner if he was eating sauerkraut we wouldn't take it away.
