My patient repeated his Doctor’s Data stool test after the antimicrobial protocol. The initial test showed that he had 4+ Klebsiella, 3+ alpha-hemolytic strep, 4+ gamma-hemolytic strep, and also many free yeast. The test results after the antimicrobial protocol showed that he no longer has Klebsiella or fungal overgrowth but the same for hemolytic strep.

Dr. Amy Nett:  So he has 4+ gamma-hemolytic and 3+ alpha-hemolytic. Honestly I don’t remember if 4+ gamma and 3+ alpha, I think those would actually go in the yellow column in that sort of commensal column. And then you’re saying all of the beneficial bacteria now 4+. And your question is whether you should treat the hemolytic strep. As I recall those alpha- and gamma-hemolytic strep are more of the commensal organisms. So they’re showing up in that yellow column and all the beneficial bacteria are 4+, I don’t think you need to do any additional treatment. If the gamma-hemolytic at 4+ is showing up in the red column and if he’s having ongoing symptoms, then I probably would consider an additional 30 days.
