I really dont get this note but can anyone get what its saying: Note: Mar 15, 2019 12:00 a.m. CDT Comment: (NOTE) Test Result Flag Unit RefValue ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fat, F Total Weight 22 g Duration Random h More reliable results can be obtained from a timed collection. 48 and 72 hour collections will give the most reliable results.

It sounds like you might, but that additional testing is warranted.
If you ate more than 100g of fat, then these results are suggestive of a fat malabsorption disorder (i.e. pancreatitis, or other digestive issues) and should be confirmed with a timed collection (i.e. do one that is over 48 or 72 hours)
How much fat did you eat?
No one told me at the doctors office of how much fat I should eat, what foods to eat fat from and how long I have to collect stools in the house.
I’m disappointed in that.
I ate sub sandwiches at subway before I add stools in the containers.
somebody is trying to determine their level of body fat I believe. I remember there are easier ways to do this for example a lot of people even if they don’t look fat their body fat is 25-30 to 35% heavy weight trainers and super athletic people that do a ton of training they get down to like 4, 5% A woman who is still menstruating will usually stop even having her cycle at about 7% body fat and under. I hope that helps and I think I’m pretty accurate
