Question 3

Should I wait to take my test?

Accepted Answer

There's no need to wait to take your test. However, if you are currently on antibiotics, you may wish to wait. Read more about that in our full FAQ.

Question 4

What if I have food sensitivities or allergies?

Accepted Answer

If you have known sensitivities or allergies to any foods, you should refrain from eating them, no matter where they are placed on your different food recommendation lists.

The Viome testing process uses a stool sample to conduct an analysis of your gut microbiome. Stool samples do not contain the necessary immune markers needed to pinpoint specific food allergens or sensitivities. We do not currently test for food sensitivities or incorporate known allergies when providing food recommendations.

If you receive a food recommendation to which you have an allergy, do not eat that food. We want you to feel your best, so known allergies and sensitivities should be taken into account when you follow your Viome recommendations.

We do not provide your information or results to employers or health insurance companies. Viome will never sell your information to any other group or company. Read more in our full FAQ.
