Episode 45: Functional Testing Reveals Hidden Gut Imbalances: One Client's Journey to Recovery
Manage episode 480305264 series 3633907
This client case study reveals how functional gut testing uncovered the root causes of post-cancer treatment symptoms including brain fog, fatigue, and pain, leading to dramatic health improvements through targeted interventions.
• GI Map testing identified H. pylori, low beneficial bacteria, and gluten sensitivity
• Most patient's chronic health issues show either too-low or overgrown bacterial patterns
• Anti-gliadin antibodies confirmed gluten sensitivity despite minimal perceived consumption
• Gluten antibodies can remain elevated for 3-6 months, requiring strict elimination
• Gluten sensitivity often presents as joint pain, fatigue and brain inflammation rather than gut symptoms
• Upper GI support addressed insufficient enzyme production indicated by test results
• Client lost 5-7 pounds without trying simply by reducing inflammation
• Nutrition assessment scores improved across almost all health markers
• Client became an advocate for nutrition's role in health after experiencing benefits
• Targeted testing and customized protocols produce noticeable symptom improvements
