Functional tests are just one part of the clinical process, but can be very useful for persistent symptoms and conditions that have proven to be resistant to treatment.
Microbiome testing has come a long way since I first started practicing. For some time I stopped using them due to unreliable results, but I believe the science is now allowing us to draw some clearer conclusions.
For anyone interested in the root cause of their digestion issues and gut concerns, this may be a great step to take.
In clinic, I only source professional testing, which can only be accessed through clinicians. It's not the first place I start, but when a client has symptoms that are not progressing as predicted, then these tests can be an invaluable resource.
