Functional Stool Testing: What It Is & How to Know If You Need It | Ep 333
If you have obvious GI symptoms going on (digestion, bloating, gas, heartburn, acid reflux, loose stools, diarrhea, constipation, or sluggish bowels) you might want a stool test. But there are some non obvious conditions that also have a GI component, such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and skin conditions, that would also benefit from results of a stool test. Learn about functional stool testing, what it is, how you know if you need it and how it can help you.
