    In the book we are encouraged to get ourselves tested. I went onto the recommended website to be told there is currently no testing being carried out in the UK. How else do we get tested?

    I went through British Gut. Which I think is the one recommended in the book.

    I’ve had the results, but it’s just a list with percentages. I’m struggling at the moment to know what the data really means.

    Hi Jo t,

    There’s another post here called “Biome testing in Australia” where one pserson has tried SmartDNA (SmartGUT) in Victoria & there’s reference to another company, Microba, who are due to provide a similar service by the end-2017. I understand they’re a commercial offshoot of UQ (University of Queensland). Google will find them.

    Tuesday, October 17th at 8:30pm (AEST) the ABC Catalyst program will be airing a new two-part series on the gut microbiome and gut health. It should be an interesting watch!
