PCOS is added to list of conditions that should have gut microbiome testing

Gut microbes keep us healthy. Generally it has literally been a guessing game as to how to keep your digestion in check. Gynos in the past would suggest women keep records as they eliminate food and hope that you stumble on what foods you tolerate (still excellent advice). How these potentially thousands of self food experiments translates into how you process fats, grain, meat or vegetable fibers has not been studied until recently. It has now become time to actually use the information we can gen in a non-invasive way by comprehensively studying your bowel movements. This is more than just noting frequency, color, floating, and straining (although all those factors are important). Now Comprehensive analysis can help you see if you have maldigestion, malabsorption, altered time that food travels through your gut, increased toxic burden, and whether these problems are increasing your colon cancer risk. Some might argue we should all know these facts about gut health and get tested.WE have long had a list of the top few reasons to do comprehensive digestive stool analysis at Women's Health Practice includes both GI and other reasons. but in a study publised by Dr Pedro Torres from UCSD, PCOS was just added as a reason to test as women with PCOS had less gut bacterial diversity than normal. It is thought that the hormone testosterone is responsible for this. Come in to discuss gut health testing if you fit into any of these categories :
Indigestion, gas or bloating
Constipation, Diarrhea, Irritable bowel
PCOS
Menopause
Chronic Infections including yeast or bacterial infections
Diabetics
Skin Health Issues
Arthritis or Osteoporosis
Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia
