In today’s episode, we are happy to hear from our clinic’s Dr. Scott and one of his patients, Keith about his successful experience tackling gut health issues. Keith’s case posed a very common conundrum that we’ve seen in many with gut health issues - are we dealing with bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), fungal overgrowth (candida) or potentially both? We’ll walk through some of the key indications that Keith’s initial SIBO diagnosis was actually a candida case, and we’ll cover the best testing and treatments that led to Keith’s recovery.
