Microbiome test

Has anyone done a microbiome test and are the diet change tips helpful? It’s quite expensive. Is it worth or is it just another way to take money from desperate people🥴

Hi Martina, whilst we can’t advise on the Microbiome test we do have a team of experts who can offer help and advice on diet. If this is something you would be interested in then please do give our helpline a call on 0808 800 0303. Alternatively, we have lots of information around diet and Parkinson’s on our website here.

Best wishes

I’ve always wanted to do this test, Zoe or others to see what happens specifically to my body. I’m at the v beginning of this journey… Less than a week after consultation but I think diet is so critical to health and perhaps now even more so. I’ve read lots about gut health being key to overall health so I’m kind of thinking it can’t hurt to know. I agree it’s expensive and that we don’t really know if it would make a difference to what we already know. I’m still thinking about it - let me know if you go for it!
