Uncovering Hidden Gut Issues: Tests Beyond IBS Diagnosis | Episode 33
Manage episode 478771575 series 3652230
In this episode of The Health Pulse Podcast, we tackle the often frustrating diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)—a label that names your symptoms but rarely explains them. Instead of settling for generic treatment, we explore how functional gut testing can uncover what’s really driving your digestive issues.
Learn how tests like comprehensive stool analysis, SIBO breath testing, and food sensitivity panels can identify hidden causes like bacterial overgrowth, parasites, delayed immune responses, and leaky gut—conditions that standard evaluations often miss.
