The Emerging Evidence for Gut Microbiome Testing
The clinical practice piece of this is the most difficult because there is no good test. There is no reproducible gold standard when it comes to gut microbiome testing. And so unlike, you know, just testing your vitamin D level, we can't just know what's going on. Even the improvement really now is symptom based. You can watch the changes longitudinally. Like if someone is having more bifidobacterium, for example, in their stool, you can pretty much know that they have more growing in their gut now. So from point A to point B, it can be helpful. But there's really no good,you know, slam dunk test.
