Comprehensive stool test and Regenerus Lab

I'd like to buy the doctor's data stool kit from them but since i don't live in uk (i'm from North Italy) i don't know wether that company is trustworthy or not.Have you ever had any experience with them?Is it popular in UK?

Also i know that the sample's containers are filled with some liquid.Does that liquid have an expiration date or is it just important that i send the kit back to the lab as soon as possible?

It's a lot of money and i don't want to throw it away.

Thanks.

The problem is with these kits is you need a professional to understand the results. It will mean nothing to you as a layman. So you are better off going to somebody like a dietician or nutritionist who can do this and suggest the best test for you.

Having said that I did get an e-mail today from a company called Autoimmune Institute advertising a stool test which they then discuss with you via phone or skype for £350.

Thanks for the reply.Yes i'm planning to let a nutrionist review the results.

£ 350 is too much for me.Are you familiar with regenerus labs?A guy on another website told me that it seems a scam website.I'm totally confused..

I have never heard of them myself. Perhaps somebody else on here may have heard of them. Otherwise, if you are planning on having the results reviewed by a nutritionist why not ask them about the test and this company.

The doctors that i know aren't familiar with that website as well as with doctor's data,but again,i live in Italy,not in UK.

So why are you wanting to use this company, are they a lot cheaper than those in Italy? If they are a lot cheaper they could well be dubious.

The tests that they sell here are not as near as detailed as the doctors' data test.

I use Geneva Diagnostics. I think it's £120. I had a comprehensive stool test which showed up parasites and very little good bacteria. I'm in UK but I think they cover Europe.
