I have been living LCHF since October of 2019 when I started a search to find relief from osteoarthritis and other issues. I found LowCarbUSA and the LowCarbMD podcast which provided a wealth of information that makes sense. I submitted one sample pre-LCHF. Results took 5 months. Last summer, as part of a research project I submitted 3 samples - One a month for 3 months. No results yet. Since not much is known yet about the Microbiome, the report just shows what is in the gut without any interpretation. People would need to find someone who might be able to give an interpretation of the data. I joined the American Gut Project mainly to help advance the science for the greater good.
