Why did you purchase this gut health test?
Was advised by practictioner.
“Initially very disappointed because my results were not received in a timely manner. I believe it was an unfortunate glitch. Lesson learned --take gut wellness test weeks before scheduled doctor's appointment so I will have the results in hand. That said, I am glad I took the test. So pleased with the ease in understanding results from test, suggested foods to consume and those to avoid, suggested pro/prebiotics to improve my microbiome and response from Ombre's customer service team as I patiently waited for my results. Since I have gut issues and intend to heed suggestions given, I will purchase this kit again to compare and gain more knowledge regarding the health of my gut.”
“Ombre is an example of over-promise and under-deliver. I purchased a kit from Amazon and mailed it in on January 4. That kit took so long to process that the sample was not valid. I got a replacement test. As of March 18, I still don’t have any results. It’s not worth the hassle.
The staff at Ombre are very responsive and very friendly. If I could change something, it would be their web page that promises results in 2-3 weeks. That’s not happening. They should be realistic with customers and say 1 -2 months for results.
I finally received the results. They were complete and informative. It doesn’t change my disappointment with the length of time it took to get the results. Will I order another test kit? Maybe, maybe not.”

I had hoped to see if there was any change in good bacteria from a previous test.
“I had previously used a test from Life Extension, which was more comprehensive and informative (but more expensive, as well) The layout of the result left me a bit puzzled, as much of it was "compared to the general community". The one helpful provision was a list of particular bacteria with links to additional information.”
Why did you purchase this gut health test?
I am trying to improve gut health through a SIBO/SIFO episode
“I am very impressed with the amount of detail available from the microbiome testing. Very helpful for gut management.
The staff went above and beyond to help me navigate those areas I did not understand or could not initially access.
The one thing I would seek in addition to the microbial listing and counts would be a fungal analysis. That would be the most comprehensive detail available at a reasonable price.
Thank you”
Why did you purchase this gut health test?
I believed I had a candida overgrowth due to thrush on my tongue and battling constant yeast infections all over my body.
“The process of getting the test, doing the test, mailing it back and getting the results back were excellent. The only issue I have is identifying the bacteria I was looking for. I was pretty sure I have a candida overgrowth but I couldn't see that in the list of bacteria so perhaps it goes under another name. I wish I could have searched on the webite on my results for candida or any other bacteria I am specifically concerned about. Glad to see my results were optimal.”
