Hi @Naveed Aslam – the great thing about this test is how easy they make it for interpretation and taking action since they also provide recommended doses.
The most pressing need is for methylation support, specifically B9 and B12. You can consider a B complex and also more targeted B vitamins layered on top for the more deficient ones like B9 and B12. But I recall in a previous thread you were looking at Seeking Health’s products. What did you decide on? Methylation also needs magnesium and selenium so you can choose to supplement or include more foods rich in selenium such as Brazil nuts and sardines.
You can also consider optimizing all of the nutrients in yellow, and increase antioxidant-rich foods in your diet to help mitigate the effects of oxidative stress in the body (likely from living in mold).
Are you following a ketogenic type of diet (high-fat, moderate-protein, and very low-carbohydrate)?
Did you make sure to avoid bananas, avocados, walnuts, tomatoes, eggplants, and pineapples before taking this test?
In terms of inflammation control, fatty acid balance is a major player. Your results show a need for more Omega-3 fatty acids, as well as GLA. I explain the different types of fatty acids in this video in the Fatty Acid Balance course if you’d like to learn more. And this video shares how we can get fatty acid imbalances.
Can you also please share your current list of symptoms with us again. This will help us put these results into better context to be able to offer more targeted suggestions.

@Bernadette Abraham hello.
I have heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, abdominal distension, stomach burning occasionally, low energy, poor sleep due to having nightmares or getting woken up by mum when she’s not feeling well, confusion, loss of balance.
Also, I am passing wind, but fouls smell and stools too. Is this due to the sugar.
I am self injecting B12 alternate days and taking this folate by metabolics.

I have yet to look for a B Complex excluding B12 and folate
You mentioned I am following a high fat, moderate protein and low car diet. I tgues I am without realising. Which markers show this?
I am not taking high histamine or nightshade foods. Do the results say otherwise?
Do I need omega 6 too. What is gla?
I am taking magnesium byglicnate capsules . Some days, I can’t tolerate it.
Biggest issue B. is sugar.

@Naveed Aslam please see my comment on your GI Map post about dealing with sugar cravings.
Did you just start supplementing with B12 and B9 after seeing the results of this test. If not, how long before the test were you supplementing with these, because there’s a very strong need so either you just started supplementing or the dose is too low for your unique needs.
The markers that made me suspect ketogenic type of diet are the elevated adipic acid and β-OH-Butyric Acid on p.7 of the citric acid cycle. These can be high if one is following a high fat/low carb diet.

Did you make sure to avoid bananas, avocados, walnuts, tomatoes, eggplants, and pineapples before taking this test? Please confirm.

@Bernadette Abraham Hi B.
I can confirm that i did not have bananas, avocados, walnuts, tomatoes, egg plants and pineapple as I don’t have high histamine or nightshade foods. Are there markers in the report which say otherwise? Also, the doctor didn’t advise me to stop any foods.
Regarding B12 and B9, I did not take these for about a month prior to testing I think.
I definitely need high dosage in any case.
Sure, I will watch the fatty acid course.
Yes, I’ve read your response about GI map.
B. Genova website have have interpretation guide to the metabolomix test, but I can’t access it as I need a practitioner login. Is it possible to obtain this interpretation guide so that I can interpret the results myself if I repeat it.
B. When is your next live call pls.

@Naveed Aslam it’s always a good habit to read and follow the test’s instructions for better accuracy of results because doctors/practitioners don’t always provide the full instructions.
I was asking about those foods to see if that was the reason for the elevated serotonin marker 5-OH-indoleacetic Acid. Here’s an explanation of what else can contribute to higher levels in urine if those foods or medications were not taken before the test (ex. tryptophan or acetaminophen/tylenol) . https://healthmatters.io/understand-blood-test-results/5-oh-indoleacetic-acid
I couldn’t find the interpretive guide you are referring to, but found this video explanation of the test instead: https://www.gdx.net/education/2021/08/interpreting-the-metabolomix-profile
Can you share the link to the guide and I can email them to see what I can do.
The next live call is tomorrow, July 11th at 9am EST/ 5pm Dubai time.
