Send us a text
In this episode I discuss:
- (1:45) Why a high quality functional stool test is a non-negotiable for the clients I work with who struggle with IBS and IBD symptoms
- (4:30) The limits of functional stool testing
- (6:10) The strengths of functional stool testing and why it is important to correlate the data to client symptoms and to other functional testing
- (10:40) Insufficiency dysbiosis versus inflammatory dysbiosis
- (13:35) A good functional stool test will give clues on digestive function
- (15:00) The inflammatory markers on functional stool testing and what they can tell us about root causes
- (18:03) Why I always run a functional stool test before I recommend stomach acid to a client
- (20:20) Why it’s not a good idea to only run one functional test
- (22:20) Two client case examples where running a functional stool test connected the dots on missing information we needed to make progress
