Have we been testing for SIBO wrong? With Dr. Kim Bretz ND


Listen Later

In today's podcast, we have Dr. Kim Bretz, ND, our GI fellowship facilitator, joining us to share the significant updates in the field of SIBO testing that will shape how we diagnose patients with this condition in the future. 

She calls out one particular paper (referenced below) that calls into question many of the standard SIBO tests that practitioners use and explains where we go from here as practitioners who have relied on these outdated forms of testing in their practices. 

Dr. Bretz is running a 1-day Advanced Training, SIBO Demystified, which is an essential training for practitioners who test and treat for SIBO in their practices. You can register for the course here to gain access to the live session, the recordings and the practice resources you need to be an up to date practitioner.
