i dont follow that guy. spent a lot of time watching his videos in the past and he is like some kind of a hater on people who eat diverse diets and not just his plant diet which he vigorously promotes as its a religion for him. i caught him more than once not having his facts straight, tried to post on his forum or contact him directly but my comments are either deleted or ignored. if there is a radical vegetarian, its this guy!

What is the difference between microbiome and probiotics? One approach is using healthy people gut bacteria derived from poop and transplant to an unhealthy people, probiotics contains spores of healthy bacterias to be ingested orally. Isn't both approach also trying to ingest healthy bacteria?

I think people are just marking posts negatively to be trolls. That's the problem with this type of rating system compared to something like Reddit's.
I just wanted to post an update here. About a year ago I signed up for the Biocollective, they finally sent me a kit before I left for vacation a couple weeks ago. I just finally sent it off yesterday. It was gross doing the deed but I followed all the instructions and hopefully didn't contaminate anything. I should be getting results back on what they find in there.
I highly recommend signing up, it may take a while but worth doing it now.

Though it wasn't me, I can see why someone considers expensive testing - which in this case it wasn't - of something still at initial research, as wasting time. On other forums I see now so many ask about these free ubiome results, but no sure answers.
But admit I was myself such a fool, ordered the free kid about 2 month ago, arrived with me 1 month ago, by the time this slow service has my results (as many reviews found) my actual micro-biome most probably already has changed again.
Posted 03 August 2017 - 07:27 PM
I don't know what the facts are regarding changes in the microbiome over time, I'm sure diet has some impact but it could be that it doesn't really change much in the core populations. Anybody know an answer to this?
I just want to know if I have akkermansia or gordonibacter.

Another reason to avoid carageenan:
Shang et al., 2017. Carrageenan-induced colitis is associated with decreased population of anti-inflammatory bacterium, Akkermansia muciniphila, in the gut microbiota of C57BL/6J mice. Toxicology Letters.
We studied and compared in detail the toxic effects of different isomers of carrageenan (κ-, ι-, and λ-) on the colon of C57BL/6J mice. Interestingly, all isomers of carrageenan were found to induce colitis with a comparable activity. Given that carrageenan is unabsorbed after oral administration, and also in light of the fact that gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of colitis, we further investigated the effect of carrageenan on gut microbiota using high-throughput sequencing. Intriguingly, carrageenan-induced colitis was observed to be robustly correlated with changes in the composition of gut microbiota. Specifically, all carrageenans significantly decreased the abundance of a potent anti-inflammatory bacterium, Akkermansia muciniphila, in the gut, which is highly relevant for understanding the toxic effect of carrageenan.

Funny results just came in:
Your Gut on July 4th, 2017
96.4%
Wellness MatchThe overlap between your sample and the average microbiome among Selected Samples.
Selected Samples are samples from individuals who report no ailments and high levels of wellness.
Body Weight
Know your bacteria
Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes are the largest phyla in the human microbiome.
Studies have shown that gut microbiomes tilted in favor of Bacteroidetes are correlated with weight loss and lean body types. [1] [2]
Gut microbiomes in Western cultures are usually skewed in favor of Firmicutes, which can increase with higher caloric intake. [3] [4]
Your gut microbiome is heavily tilted towards Firmicutes.
Firmicutes: 65.12%
Bacteroidetes: 20.76%
How you compare
Your ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes:
3.1 : 1
Average ratio among Selected Samples:
2.1 : 1
Bacteroidetes compared to Selected Samples:
0.7x
Firmicutes compared to Selected Samples:
1.04x
Know your bacteria
Akkermansia is a genus of bacteria that has shown potential to combat weight gain and inflammation. [5]
Your sample's abundance of Akkermansia compared to the average among Selected Samples.
How you compare
Your percentage of Akkermansia:
0.21%
Akkermansia percentage among Selected Samples:
1.98%
Akkermansia compared to Selected Samples:
0.11x
Take Action
Try a low-fat or low-carbohydrate diet. These diets tend to increase Bacteroidetes at the expense of Firmicutes. [6]
Eat foods high in a type of fiber called oligofructose to feed the Akkermansia in your gut. These foods include garlic, onion and bananas. [7]
Avoid meats containing antibiotics, as they may play a part in weight gain.
If you choose a fiber supplement, ones containing polydextrose or soluble corn fiber can help feed Bacteroidetes.
Eat foods high in polyphenols to help increase Bacteroidetes. Polyphenols can be found in apple, pear, grapes, cherries and many berries. [10]
Funny, because I got 5g of supplemented polyphenols per day during the last 9 year, no antibiotics, >50 gram of fiber from diet and supplemented plenty prebiotics on a low-carbohydrate diet. And I've been skinny my whole life.
Know your bacteria
Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two genera of bacteria most commonly found in probiotic supplements.
They are also naturally occurring in your gut. [1]
How you compare
Bifidobacterium compared to Selected Samples:
0x
Lactobacillus compared to Selected Samples:
0x
Several species of Bifidobacterium have been shown to improve gastrointestinal issues. [2]
Certain strains of Lactobacillus have been shown to improve mental health, including anxiety and mood, in addition to improving gut health. [3]
Take Action
Regularly consuming yogurt with live cultures has been shown to maintain higher levels of Bifidobacterium. [4]
Take supplements containing the species Lactobacillus acidophilus. This particular species has been shown to reduce gastrointestinal problems. [5]
Fermented vegetables that have not been subjected to manufacturing processes can provide your gut with a steady supply of probiotic bacteria.
Dairy products such as certain yogurts, kefir and buttermilk contain active cultures that can increase the amount of Lactobacillus.
Eat curd and sauerkraut daily.
Microbiome Diversity
Your bacteria is compared to all samples of the same type using the largest microbiome database in the world.
Greater microbiome diversity has been correlated with good health, but diversity can vary greatly among healthy individuals. [1] [2]
Percent of samples
Microbiome Diversity Score
8.60
How you compare
93rd Percentile
93% of all Gut samples are less diverse than your sample.
7% of all Gut samples are more diverse than your sample.
The Microbiome Diversity Score is calculated by normalizing the inverse form of Simpson's Diversity Index [3] to 10.
Scores range from 0 to 10, with 10 being the most diverse – actually representing a theoretical maximum of infinite diversity.
Although the distribution of Microbiome Diversity Scores varies depending on the type of sample, gut samples tend to generate a score of between 6 and 9.
Take Action
Actions that can increase gut microbiome diversity
Eat fiber. Diets high in fiber have been shown to correlate to increased diversity in the gut microbiome. [4]
Exercise frequently. Regular physical activity can increase gut diversity. [5]
Actions that can decrease gut microbiome diversity
Antibiotics can dramatically decrease microbiome diversity, though diversity has been shown to recover over time. [6]
Proton pump inhibitors, often used to treat ulcers and acid reflux, can decrease gut microbiome diversity. [7]

These are the 10 bacteria in your sample that are found least frequently in our results.
Sometimes these bacteria exist in such small numbers that they are difficult to detect. Others may be more common in some parts of the world, but rare in other environments.
The percentage shows how many Gut samples in our dataset contain these less common bacteria.
Seldom seen bacteria are less likely to have been studied in depth, but the rarity of these specimens does not indicate they are beneficial or harmful.
Hi guys, nice to get to know you . Though will take up some time to read up, and all the other data presented.
Gordonibacter is completely absent.

Interesting report (from where?), thank you. I am just curious about the selected sample: "Selected Samples are samples from individuals who report no ailments and high levels of wellness." Isn't a better and more objective way? This rejoins the problematic of reference ranges of biomarkers, age-dependency of biomarkers and generally the aging biomarkers. It is a vast problem. In the thread we discussed a bit the research on Akkermansia, Gordonibacteria and the issue of diversity. It is difficult to interpret the results but you seem doing pretty well though !
I wonder if you have a take on all this, Pamojja.
Posted 07 August 2017 - 01:39 PM
Wow that sucks man sorry. I guess diet isn't all that helpful if you've been doing exactly what they say and still have that outcome. Perhaps this is where transplants are useful? Though I heard it's tough getting those to stick.

It was uBiome, considering I paid postage only ($19,99) well worth it. They have much more breakdown of data really interesting. but difficult to paste here. Will take some time to catch up with and get a better understanding. Actually I'm doing pretty well with a 96.4% 'wellness score' compared to a healthy population, considering my multiple non-reversible chronic diseases at age 50.

Not that fast. Take a look at my stack-post here to see how helpful my dietary and supplement intervention have been: http://www.longecity...nal-remissions/. I must assume an even worse, if not even deathly outcome, without all these interventions for many years now.

My GP is fantastic but he wouldn't see most of mine as red flags either. I think what most of the healthcare industry sees as "normal" is a normal compared to most Americans. It's like if everyone's fat, then fat is normal.
He seemed to think my 5.5% H1C was fine.

hazy, did you ever extensive repeated blood testing? If you did, you may have found that many lab parameters - despite decades of 'quality' control - only mean that much. One still can glean something from them in combinations and context, and I wouldn't consider them bullshit altogether. Doesn't mean any of them couldn't be more accurate.
Don't understand many of the proposed metabolic functions, but 2 at the lowest end really stood out in mine:
Steroid biosynthesis: 0.28 X
Retinol metabolism: 0.45 X
Except for 1, all my free testosterone and DHEAs tests during the last 9 years have been below normal deficient (despite supplementing DHEA, pregnenolone, and other things supposed to help).
Despite supplementing above 20.000 IU of preformed Vitamin, twice tested serum retinol and RBB came back at a mediocre lower end of normal range.
So after an uninformed first sight, there indeed seem to be valid correlations good enough for further speculation. As all other time-tested lab-tests taken in context are.

It's just getting started. Apparently this Biocollective is a startup company that is investing most of its money into gathering samples and freezing them, I don't know if they plan to post results at any point in the future or what. They do plan to sell the samples to scientists and apparently I get 10% of the sales.
If there's scientists buying the samples, I assume they're going to be very interested in accuracy as well.
Nothing is guaranteed, you just have to trust people's self-interest.

what i dont understand is, why when i consume yogurt i get swollen and feel heavy and fat as if i had a pizza. considering its probiotic, it should be positive and help you feel better gastrointestinally speaking. but i feel sluggish so its either the specific probiotics in yogurt dont react well with me and make me fat or just that yogurt is fattening in general

Commercial yogurt usually has very high sugars, is pasteurized and therefore only contains the probiotic strain that was added, and usually comes from A1 beta-casein protein cows less tolerated. Each a reason not to each such yogurts, and likely the cause for your discomfort.
Posted 11 August 2017 - 02:15 AM
nah i never eat yogurt with sugar. its something else in the milk i think or maybe even the probiotics

I am no expert but if I were you I would test if other forms of dairy would give me the same swollen symptoms. Have you tried kefir? I would also try a lactose free formula or add a bit of lactase enzymes to my yogurt.
