I am reading the directions for the Enterolab testing and it requires one cup of stool.... has anyone ever sent less?

I never had a problem filling the cup- haha. I always followed the directions to the letter because they are so expensive and I didn't want to chance screwing something up that would cost me additional money to correct.

You can freeze it and keep adding until you get enough!

You should know by now that we are not easily grossed out. We can't be and live with this disease. So much humiliation and "gross" stuff just gets to be "old hat" after awhile!

I believe that Enterolab instructions are that they want you to freeze it before sending it anyway. Because I was fairly C, I had to keep freezing and adding to it. Did not make getting the results any harder. I am so glad that you have found a way to do this and look forward to hearing the results!

Three days for me. I liked it when I was able to eat breakfast before. Plus I didn't tell my husband it was in the freezer!

Easy for me to do in a day.

However, the freezing and adding to really works.

Same thing here. You have to freeze and add to it, then ship it frozen. It took me probably 4-5 days. I had serious C at the time. I'm thinking the Enterolab folks needed a chisel to do my tests.
