Dr. Ruscio Radio, DC: Health, Nutrition and Functional Healthcare

In today's episode, we are happy to hear from our clinic's Dr. Scott and one of his patients, Keith about his successful experience tackling gut health issues. Keith's case posed a very common conundrum that we've seen in many with gut health issues - are we dealing with bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), fungal overgrowth (candida) or potentially both? We'll walk through some of the key indications that Keith's initial SIBO diagnosis was actually a candida case, and we'll cover the best testing and treatments that led to Keith's recovery.
