The results are back for our 4th tester in the MeBO-Biolab gut dysbiosis study. A male in his mid 30s who has had his odor problem for over 10 years. He feel it is systemic but writes that he also suffer from rectal odor. He has a number of other health problems such as gut issues, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) as well as psoriasis.

The results came back mostly normal apart from the gut permeability test, which was extremely 'over-absorbing' around the mid-range of the molecules taken, meaning leaky gut.

Tests done:
Gut fermentation test £46
Gut permeability test £75
Indicans urine test £13
D-lactate blood test £12

MeBO Research-Biolab body odor gut dysbiosis study
The study is using 4 tests from Biolabs range of tests to look at various areas of gut dysbiosis in those with systemic body odor (mainly fecal body odor) or systemic halitosis. Since MeBO is new and has little funds, each tester has to pay for the tests. Those overseas can also participate providing they can return the samples within 48 hours of collection. The application survey is here : MeBO-Biolab body odor gut dysbiosis study form
