> My histamine was high - can't remember the exact # offhand, but not quite as high as yours...

What a coincidence. I'm starting to feel cynical about Pfeiffer.

>also a problem with zinc metabolism...

Actually, I think zinc deficiency is really quite common.

>and malabsorption issues according to hair anal.

Damn. Gotta watch those anal hairs. <Sorry>

> Nurse was talking about adding the $400 stool analysis in the follow-up testing as being beneficial. I don't know what to think.

Stool analysis for what, in particular? Fat malabsorption leads to steatorrhea (fatty stool). It has quite obvious characteristics, and you could self-diagnose that one. I don't know of any other malabsorption syndrome that requires stool analysis. Parasites might be a problem, but you'd probably be otherwise symptomatic.

> On the one hand it was helpful to actually get some test results rather than haphazardly trying one thing after another on my own...on the other hand, i haven't improved as much as i hoped i would (mainly depression and some OCD stuff)(it's been about 3 months) and their lack of response is really frustrating.

You didn't develop the underlying metabolic changes that promote your psychiatric symptoms overnight, and you will not correct them overnight. You will retain the genetic tendency to the metabolic disturbance, even with supplementation. Not noticing a subtle change/improvement does not mean there isn't one, or that you're not preventing continued decline in functionality.

If you prefer the sledgehammer swat of prescription medication, go for it.

I don't mean to sound contrary. I'm just putting the choice in black and white.
