Pointing to the correct way is difficult. :o

The process is fun, the important are the results, to get your life back, and begin the healing process.

Have fun collecting, and freezing it.

Take care ;)

Just put it in the freezer until the pickup guy comes. If you work outside the home then put it in the freezer overnight and then package it up and call for pickup.

Since you're in the US they won't call you for customs.

Doing the Enterolab sample thing for me was vastly funny. I took my sample... all wrapped up in 18 ways and disguised, with me to work and stored it in the freezer there until I could drop it off at the DHL place. I was sweating bullets someone would find it and investigate it, thinking it was a treat...

When I had mine done they used DHL. If they've changed to UPS then I don't know. Should be on the instruction sheets.

We had our results in 2-3 weeks.

ok I'm gonna have my 3 yr old do a stool test for dairy, how much poop is needed for 1 test?

He's severely constipated so getting a good stool can take time.

OMG!

I had no idea as well. I will defiantly have to do some kind of disguise give it a differnent kind of smell. My husband in his past life was a Koon Hound he can sniff any thing out. When i pass gas he can tell me what i had for lunch lol. I guess that I'll have so to save meat wrapper from Albertsons I know he wouldnt touch it because he does not cook. LOL half the time he does not know that our dinners are Gluten Free until I tell him.

If I remember correctly it was about 1/2 cup.....if they were still in diapers. If not, I assume it's the same but I'm not sure. :unsure:

No liquid so you mean I cant give the grossest poo that they have ever seen. Are you talking about D, or whatever might collect from the frezzer like ice that may collect in the bag and melt on the way.

If it's D then it's D. Don't worry about it.

what happens if it takes all day and you still don't have a half cup? Do you keep trying until you do? I am serious my son has severe constipation and often only has streaks or small smears in his diaper days in a row.

Would you freeze what you have inbetween and put it all together?

How many days are you allowed to collect for????

I don't think they specify how long. As long as it's frozen it should be fine. Just keep adding to the container until you think you have 1/2 cup.

Ok so if you have constipation for that day then they can still test it. I guess they can it still comes from the same source.

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well. I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine. Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency. Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy. The more...

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine. The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain. Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins. It should tell you what form of thiamine is in...

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @cristiana, Yes, I found high carbohydrate meals would trigger mine as well.  I learned from Dr. Lonsdale that high carbohydrate diets can deplete thiamine.  Heart palpitations are a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Diets high in refined simple carbohydrates (empty calories) need additional Thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  The more carbs one eats, the more Thiamine is required to process the additional calories.  500 mg more Thiamine is required for every additional one thousand calories.  This is named "High Calorie Malnutrition."  Sufficient calories are being consumed, but not enough of thiamine to burn the carbs for energy.  Instead to ration out the small supply of thiamine, the additional calories are stored as fat.  It takes less thiamine to burn fat than to burn carbs.    Do read Dr. Lonsdale' article here... Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/

      I used to suffer with migraines, but I have rarely had one since I started taking additional Thiamine.  The form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) can improve neurological functions in the brain.  Benfotiamine is another form that improves migraines. Look at the label on your B Complex vitamins.  It should tell you what form of thiamine is in it.  If it says thiamine mononitrate, you're probably not getting sufficient thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form used in vitamin supplements and foods because it is shelf stable.  Shelf stable means it won't break down when exposed to heat and light sitting on a shelf waiting to be bought in a store or warehouse.  It also is very difficult for the body to break it down and utilize it.  Only about thirty percent of the amount of thiamine mononitrate on the label is absorbed.   Do take a look at Dr. Lonsdale and Dr. Marrs' website hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Lonsdale has done much research on Thiamine.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @DebJ14 The Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies tests  intracellular levels of the nutrients INSIDE Leukocytes (white blood cells) which are in the bloodstream.  This still is not reflective of current stored vitamin levels inside organs.   The genetic MTHFR mutation does occur frequently with Celiac Disease.  Taking the methylated (activated) forms of the B vitamins is necessary.   A good multivitamin may not be sufficient to correct deficiencies.  Malabsorption due to the intestinal damage of Celiac Disease may prolong deficiency states.  Vitamin deficiencies need to be corrected quickly to prevent long-term problems.  Taking a B Complex twice a day increases absorption.  Taking a multivitamin as well is fine as multivitamins usually also contain some necessary minerals.
