My Ubiome results for fecal body odor

I did the Ubiome microbiome DNA test to see if it would give any clues to what may cause my metabolic body odor which expresses itself as bowel malodors, including fecal and gas and other malodors. My guess is that most of the malodors are caused by sulfides and amines created in the gut by the gut flora.  I have a theory that it may be a syndrome, and 'gut dysbiosis' may be part of the syndrome. Either a type of gut dysbiosis specific to metabolic bowel malodors, or a general gut dysbiosis.

I note that the Ubiome test only tests for bacteria, so will not notice fungus such as candida, or parasites.

I don't see anything much noticeable about my results that may give any clues, but I am not an expert and have only glance at the results. Perhaps in isolation they don't mean as much as they would if grouped with other 'metabolic malodor' sufferers.

My own current remarks about my results :
Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria were much lower than the average sample
Bacteroidetes were more than averageDesulfibrivio speiec were much lower than normal (I thought this might be a culprit in 'fecal body odor'. Not ruling it out yet)

Below are more screenshots of my results. There is more details than shown in these photos. :

Notes about my graphs :
The way to judge the horizontal graphs is :
vertical black line : that's my result
vertical blue line : that's the average
orange area in line strips : I guess that means if my black line is in there then it's 'very abnormal'  

Each page here shows just the top 5 of each category. There are actually about 15 in each list.

On reflection, it seems a lot of my 'good bacteria' are much lower than normal, even though the 'very good' bacteria in a normal person make up a small % of the total microbes.

A lot of the microbes do not have any explanation yet, so I can't interpret what their result means

Overall I cannot make any conclusions yet, due to lack of knowledge and lack of info.

But I am glad I tested as it's all there currently is and retrospectively it may be vcry useful.    



So far I can't make any conclusions over my results, but hopefully over time they will be of use retrospectively or compared to other metabolic malodor results.
