Confused about IBS testing? Are all these gut health tests online actually worth it? Or just a scam?

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

✔️ The MUST-HAVE medical tests for diagnosing IBS (backed by science)

✔️ The truth about gut microbiome & food sensitivity tests (are they worth the hype?)

✔️ Common misdiagnoses & what tests can rule them out

✔️ The link between IBS, blood tests, stool tests, and digestive health

✔️ How to work with your doctor to get the RIGHT tests
