Patient Preparation:

  • Sample Collection: The test requires a stool sample, which you will collect at home using the provided kit. The collection process is designed to be mess-free and simple, taking about five minutes.
  • Avoid Certain Substances Before Testing:
    • Antibiotics: Wait at least 4-6 weeks after taking antibiotics before testing. Antibiotics can disrupt your gut microbiome, and testing too soon may lead to inaccurate results.

    • DO NOT discontinue prescription medications without consulting your child's healthcare provider.    
  • Wait until your baby is at least 7 days old.
