My son's eczema has cleared

My son was suffering from mild eczema that kept re-appearing all over his torso, back and legs. When he was 1.5 years old he got sick and had to take antibiotics, and right after he had a big eczema flare. I found Alba on Instagram around that time and I am so glad for this. The test was simple and the customer service merits 10 stars. The report I received while very scientific was very easy to read and a clear action plan was recommended. It's been 3 months now since I made those changes and he has not had a single flare.

Highly recommend for parents

Our son was born premature, and received a lot of antibiotics. In the few months that followed we had some feeding issues (not gaining weight) and he was also fussy and crying.The procedure is really easy: send in some stool with the toolkit. We got the results fast and the meeting with expert was very helpful. The results were explained and we got useful advice. For us as new parents this has been very helpful. It was especially important to us that this was not some advice but it was based on scientific evidence.

Eye opening and positive experience

As first time parents we try to be aware (maybe even in control) of everything related to our baby. We initially thought Alba will just help us fulfill this need of ours a bit by providing us with more information we can use to raise a baby with a healthy gut. But this experience turned out to be more than that. "..." The report we received, while very informative and rigorous on the scientific data, still managed to be easy to put into practice through the recommendations and recipes it pointed to.

Recommended for parents

This is a legit service. You get a test kit, take a sample, and send it in. The process was pretty simple. After some time, you receive a test report, which was very interesting and helpful for adjusting our baby's diet. Definitely a cool idea for parents!

I have worked with microbiome

I have worked in the microbiome for almost a decade and I was really impressed with the results and insights that I got about my child's microbiome through Alba Health. My child had received a probiotic months before we sent in the sample and they were able to detect it in the sample. I can highly recommend Alba Health if you are looking to know more about your child's microbiome health and development.
