New algorithm with completely different results Did the viome test a year ago and was relatively pleased because it gave me some information I thought was rather useful. I had been having horrible intentional issues for years and the test showed I had bile salts coming out in my stool and with that information I slowly tried altering the fat levels in my diet and it seems to help a lot. Fast forward to this year I do a new test and they COMPLETELY changed their algorithm. And along with the new test with completely new results, they updated my old test which showed no problem with bile salts, but now I suddenly have a problem with protein fermentation, (protein definitely does not cause me issues)?? The first test showed several other "problem" areas which were suddenly erased with the new algorithm. Don't believe a damn word of it.

In my third day of consuming products… In my third day of consuming products and noticed an immediate result in daily movements. All positive. Needing this help is also encouraging me to follow good eating habits.

What’s the point? My test results were not at all what I expected. Reading the replies to the bad reviews, they claim that they do not test for food allergies, sensitivities or parasites. So I’m not really sure how this test was helpful. All the foods that I know bother me, were not on my avoid, or even minimize list. So if you enjoy mailing in poop for fun, go for it. But I don’t see any benefit in it.

I took four rounds of antibiotics in… I took four rounds of antibiotics in 2022 At first I developed what I thought was some type Neurological movement disorder, but then that progressed into fibromyalgia I started not being able to sleep at night, and my life turned into debilitating, chronic fatigue. After doing An emmense amount of research on what the hell happened to me, I found out that there was a relationship between fibromyalgia and got Microbiome. I took the test found out. I had leaky gut which I had no idea. I started taking probiotics within six weeks my fibromyalgia disappeared as long as I did not eat any processed foods, wheat, rice, or sugar. It was complete miracle. I went from extreme misery to extreme joy. It took me six months for my gut to heal from those four rounds of anabiotic. I am now able to eat almost all my regular foods. I am very, very thankful for the Viome Microbiome test otherwise I would probably still be sick.

I am a physician trained in nutrition I am a physician trained in nutrition, and I would not use this service again I am so unhappy with the quality of the report. Just a list of species without telling anything about frequency or amount of each, breaking down general families of microbes, etc. Also, scores seem very suspect and not clinically relevant. BIG assumptions made with the scores that don't align with physiology.
