At InnerBuddies we also test for potential colon problems as well as infection and fat alarms.. and that is not all! We tell you exactly how to alter your diet to improve these challenges.

Our analysis goes beyond just identifying the bacteria in your gut. Based on your specific results, we offer nutritional advice, ‘do’s and don’ts’. This means you can start supporting your gut immediately after receiving the results.

You do this by preparing all the necessary materials that are included in the test kit, which makes taking a sample simple and easy. Take the sample and put it in the enclosed tube, whereafter you send it back to us by using the free return envelope. Take note: the costs for returning the envelope are covered by InnerBuddies!

Het is een hele uitgebreide test

Het is een hele uitgebreide test. Er wordt een goed beeld gegeven wat darmen doen en hoe de samenstelling is.
Door middel van vragenlijsten wat je eetpatroon is en
de test van de feces kan de onderzoeker een zeer uitgebreid overzicht geven. Waarin alles staat wat wel en niet aan de normale waarde moet voldoen.
Daar na kunnen adviezen gegeven worden, zodat een en ander aangepast kan worden.

Uitgebreide informatie, maar niet altijd duidelijk welke aanpak nodig is

De uitslag liet langer op zich wachten dan vooraf vermeld, maar uiteindelijk kreeg ik een uitgebreide analyse binnen. Netjes opgesteld en overzichtelijk per categorie ingedeeld. Wel nog veel vragen overgebleven na het lezen van alle informatie. Er wordt snel gereageerd op mails met vragen. Een aanrader voor iedereen om een keer af te laten nemen!
