Great! This sounds wonderful. This lab testing sounds very interesting.
Can you tell us about how much it might cost to have this done?

Now ..... I try to catch on, and read up on things, so I've come across
"arabinose" a couple of times; however, being new to some of this I haven't
a clue to DHPPA, HG, OCD, and several others sprinkling these pages.
GI tract is fairly self-evident, at least.

Perhaps some kind soul could make up an FAQ <grin> of abbreviations, like
a glossary?

Thanks.
