This is my 2nd batch of my Ubiome microbiome dna results.I don't see anything that may be a biomarker for 'fecal body odor'.
But I don't know how to interpret the results.
And also the technology and understanding of the microbiome is at an early stage.
I still think microbiome testing is worthwhile (as it's so cheap)
2nd batch of Ubiome results :
I tested before in 2014. This new batch of 3 was part of their Xmas offer '3 for price of 1'. I have only briefly looked at the results.
Note :
These are just 4 examples of the data given in Ubiome results.
Fecal Body Odor / FMO3 malodor
I reckon FBO is caused by FMO3 substrates, so I tend to look out for anything to do with FMO3 substrates in the results.
FBO and dysbiosis :
I think gut dysbiosis goes naturally with 'Fecal Body Odor' (a syndrome). My question is :
Do people with FBO have a particular gut dysbiosis ? or
Do those with FBO have general gut dysbiosis ?
This is where I think microbiome testing will be very useful, but perhaps the understanding is at too early a stage.
My interp of my results :
I can't make much of it.
Of initial interest is :
Secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
Flavone and flavonol biosynthesis 0.7X
Flavonoid biosynthesis
I mention these 2 as they were low and the word 'flavone' is maybe associated with Vitamin B2 and/or flavin enzymes ? Maybe not.
Closing remarks :
Next time I might try using 'American Gut' purely as they are a different lab.
I suggest doing these tests even though they currently may not give us any relevant info, mainly as they are the right way to go and they are cheap.
Sometimes Ubiome do special offers 3 for 1 etc.
What do I think causes 'Fecal Body Odor' :
I think the smells are probably mostly sulfides, and some amines, of a certain structure (soft nucloephilic) that are probably naturally oxidized mainly by FMO3 enzyme.
My theory is :
The person will have a weakness of some % of the FMO3 enzyme
They will tend to a certain or common gut dysbiosis, exacerbating the problem due to overload.
