Your vivaBALANCE test results will be based on your diet at the time of testing.
How much a dietary change will affect your results and recommendations will depend on the previous composition of your microbiome, how dramatically you changed your diet, and how long ago your diet started. Considering these factors, it can take anywhere from a few days to a number of weeks to affect results. Since there are so many variables, we recommend waiting until you’ve resumed your normal diet for 3-4 weeks before you test.
If you do choose to complete a test while you are still fasting or following a short-term diet, be aware that results will be based on your diet at the time you collect your sample.
