Hi Lisa,

Can you give us a clue on them? Vaguely I remember this coming up before and if it is the labs I am thinking about I would not consider them reputable - just selling things. Have you researched Entrolabs which we highly endorese and many, many have used their testing.

It seems that when you ask something there is no background or elaboration on it. That surely would help a lot in giving us enough to go on.

I am asking because my doctor is getting me the kit and its not going to cost me anything, I can't elaborate much more because I don't know anymore.

Hi Lisa, its good to hear from you again. That's great news your doctor is getting the kit. Whats really good is that your insurance (I assume) is covering the costs.

How are you doing? I know you had the second colonoscopy and the Dx was LC. You certainly have been through a lot, but the good news is you have a definite diagnosis and can now plan for your recovery / remission.

I have not heard of this test but after Maggie's post I did look back and saw that at least the website of the company does appear to also want to market products. I would be interested if anyone has used their testing services.

I look forward o the results Lisa, anytime we can find another way to help deal with MC is a good thing.

When are you going to getting the kit.

Thanks for the update

Lisa
is there a chance that you got the name mixed up

Spectrolabs are involved with mineral analysis for gold and copper mining

do you think he meant Enterolab?
