Stool samples yielded bacterial communities (bacteriome) from all individuals and sampling methods, while fungal communities (mycobiome) were successfully sequenced in 53 of 78 samples, but with uneven library size (~ 100×). Overall, the fecal bacteriome had a higher number of ASVs than the mycobiome (Supplementary Table 1). Across all individuals and collection methods, the most abundant bacterial families were Bacteroidaceae and Lachnospiraceae, which made up 38% and 10% of the bacteriome, while the most abundant fungal families were Saccharomycetaceae 90%, and Phaffomycetaceae 7%. To account for technical bias in library preparation, a single sample from one individual was also processed in duplicate. Bacterial α-diversity estimates for this replicate sample were more similar than the fungal replicate, while fungal replicates also had low richness, indicating that both the rarity of this community, and the library preparation may impact the interpretation of relative abundance of fungal communities (Supplementary Table 1). Your gut microbiome and your immune system are so connected that it’s hard to separate one from the other. The vast majority of the cells that make up your immune system are in your gut (Source: PUBMED NCBI). Migraines

The Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is becoming a standard method used for early detection of colorectal cancer. FIT is used for the NHS bowel cancer home testing kit. It was first introduced in Scotland and is now being rolled out across Britain. Like the old bowel cancer screening test, FIT looks for hidden blood in stool samples, which can be an early sign of bowel cancer. Unlike the old test kit, which required three samples, FIT only needs one stool sample.

Here at Daghospitalet we are very happy about the new solution and I've asked a few people and they are also very positive! It is easier to collect faeces from the toilet now... without the use of paper plates, etc." Faecal calprotectin — this is a test of inflammation in the bowel. It may help your doctor work out if you have inflammatory bowel disease. If you do, it can also be used to monitor the level of inflammation if you have a flare-up. This stool specimen collection methodology was designed as a part of a randomized controlled trial in rural Kampong Thom province, Cambodia, with ethics granted from the Clinical Research Ethics Board at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada (H18-02610), and the National Ethics Committee for Health Research in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (273-NECHR). All participants provided written informed consent before participating in the study, including the collection of baseline and 12-week venous blood, neat stool, and fecal swab specimen. Full details of the original study can be found elsewhere [ 9], and the trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov ( {"type":"clinical-trial","attrs":{"text":"NCT04017598","term_id":"NCT04017598"}}NCT04017598). Between December 2019 and January 2020, women were recruited, and n = 480 non-pregnant women of reproductive age (18–45 years) were randomized to 12 weeks of daily oral iron supplementation in the form of either 60 mg ferrous sulfate ( n = 161), 18 mg ferrous bisglycinate ( n = 158), or placebo ( n = 161). Venous blood specimens and neat stool specimens were collected at baseline and after 12 weeks. By testing the levels of these substances and bacteria in your poo, it's possible to work out what's happening in your digestive system.
