Confused by all the gut health tests out there? You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Beyond Bloated Podcast, I’m sharing my personal experience with some of the most popular gut tests—from food sensitivity panels to live blood analysis, hair tests, SIBO breath tests, and the GI-MAP microbiome scan.
I’ll break down:
- What each test actually involves
- The surprising (and not-so-surprising) things I learned about my gut
- Which tests gave me real, useful info—and which felt like a waste of time and money
If you’re thinking about getting tested or just want a behind-the-scenes look at what these gut health diagnostics are really like, this episode will give you the honest scoop.
