OATS Test Results 22.3.23
Hi Daniel & B.
Please find attached file “Naveed Aslam 22.3.23 OATS Test” which has just arrived. Does anything stand out?
I’ve attached previous results for comparison.
I feel alot worse. Do you think toxins skewing the results.

I’m so sorry to hear !
Some markers point to dysbiosis. Compared to last year your bacterial markers did drop. Even your Carboxycitric levels dropped (which are indicative for yeast and fungal overgrowth)
The lower amount of phosphor present on the test can be related to either low consumption of phosphor rich foods, but it might also be related to low vitamin D levels.
The B6 marker is also low which might indicate higher needs. Are you still using your B complex?
I will need some time to dive in deeper to the results.
With your gut you seem to be making progress, which means some other dynamic is still at play.

Good evening Daniel,
According to Functional DX blood test, my whole blood B6 is 30 which is just over the maximum range.
Yes, I am still taking the B complex. Having said this, I stopped taking it over the past fortnight as my GP is reluctant to give me the B12 jab and wants me to repeat the blood withdrawal which I did yesterday. My GI Consultant has written to him twice now to give me the B12 jabs. I’ll keep you posted with the full blood test and iron levels. I’ve restarted B complex as of yesterday.
I’m surprised about the yeast markers improving despite sugar craving when I provided the urine sample. This leads to me to question the results.
Do any of the markers confirm high histamine issues as GI MAP confirms it via a bug called klipsella and the high histamine in the intestinal Permeability test.

there’s definite improvement overall. When you say you feel worse, what exactly feels worse? The stomach pains?
I believe you’re on the right track in terms of optimizing nutrient deficiencies. As Daniel mentioned, B6 can be better supported. Whole blood does not reflect cellular status so I would rely more on the OAT test results. When my clients need more B6, I usually recommend they switch their B complex to one that focuses more on B6 like Thorne’s B Complex #6 for example.
B12 looks good.
Vitamin C is still low but improved.
Bacterial dysbiosis markers are high but also improved from the last test. This tells me that your gut immunity is strengthening and naturally taking care of the “unruly” opportunistic microbes.
Your markers #47 and 48 are high. These are byproducts of the alternative pathways for fatty acid oxidation – markers of dysfunction in the mitochondria’s attempt to use fats for fuel. We use a process called fatty acid oxidation to generate cellular ATP (fuel) from fats. And when there is a blockage in the body’s ability to do that, then alternative pathways can be used. If high, it means there’s could be a need for more carnitine, vitamin B2, and magnesium. They can also be high due to uncontrolled type 2 diabetes or a ketogenic diet since they focus on high fats.
Is your diet very high in fats?
Although there is an improvement in toxicity levels, there is still presence of toxicity and reduced glutathione. Stay on top of the mold inspectors to rule that out. But the fact that there is a reduction means your body is better processing/excreting whatever that toxic exposure may be.
I would continue to prioritize fat digestion as mentioned in previous posts by decongesting the biliary tract and ensuring you are not constipated – even if rapid relief measures are used like magnesium citrate for example. This helps with detoxification as well so please prioritize it.
Once that is in place, I would consider a parasite cleanse as the next step.

Hi B.,
I don’t follow a keto diet or eat large amounts of fat unless coconut oil is the cause which I use (1/2 to 3/4 tbsp) for sautéing vegetables or add 1/2 tsp to millet porridge. I don’t use any other oil. I’m not diabetic. The only thing is my cholesterol is high due to possible bile sluggishness.
1. Should I refrain from starting carnitine?
2. Should I start taking Thorne’s B Complex #6. I am currently taking the following B Complex B Complex Liquid | Metabolics
3. I’ve started taking Magnesium Glycinate by Pure Encapsulations
4. Awaiting Swanson D-limonene -
for my clients who are on acid suppressing medications, protein & mineral absorption are obviously compromised since we need strong stomach acid to break these down. Rather than a single amino acid, I prefer to recommend that my clients take an amino complex. Similar to B vitamins – unless there’s an overt need for 1 particular B vitamin, it’s best to take it as a complex to prevent creating other imbalances in the group.
I often recommend ClearVite amino acid blend by Apex Energetics. It comes in chocolate (ClearVite-CHC) and vanilla flavors (ClearVite-CLA). Once they can no longer tolerate it, it’s their body telling them they’ve had enough and it’s time to stop taking it. Some experience nausea, others experience an aversion to it. The body is wise.
I can’t tell you specifically what you can and cannot take regarding B vitamins, but I’ll share what I usually do with my clients. If my clients have a higher need for B6, I usually have them switch to the B Complex #6 after they’ve been on their Thorne Basic B Complex for at least 2 months at a dosage of 3 caps per day. You can compare the dosages to your product and see if you’re there yet and can possibly tolerate a higher dose of B6.
