Hi,
I'am thinking of doing the LEAP MRT test.
I found a company that will do the test in Europe.
http://www.truehealthlabs.com/
http://drbradyhurst.com/
Do you think this company can be trusted? Has anybody here on the forum used this company for tests?
Kind regards, Jonas

Jonas,
I'm not familiar with either of those sites, but as long as the lab tests are done by a full-accredited lab, you should be OK.
Be aware that virtually none of the dietitians who are certified to work with the LEAP program have the foggiest idea what MC is, let alone know how to formulate a diet plan that can actually be safely used by someone who has MC. So most of us end up having to either modify the plan that they offer, or develop our own food trial program after we receive the test results.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Jonas,
There is only one lab outside of the US that runs the MRT test and it is in Poland. If you want info on that please contact Oxford Biomedical Lab http://nowleap.com/contact-us/ They should be able to answer your questions.

I had my MRT tests done through True Health Labs. Since Signet Diagnostic is the only lab to actually run the tests (according to my research) I decided it probably didn't matter who was the middle man. I called Signet Diagnostic themselves and they said it would be more expensive if I ordered the tests directly through them, so I ordered my MRT through True Health Labs. I received my results in a nice spiral bound book with explanations of the results and a sample rotation diet (which of course I couldn't use but it was interesting to look at). It also was to include a free 15 minute phone consultation with a dietician but I never used it-- again, because of the diet restrictions I already knew I had to have.
Hope that's helpful--
