Do you wish that the GI Effects stool test provided more actionable information to help you treat your patients? Your wish has been granted… and more! We’ve recently upgraded the GI Effects stool test to be more comprehensive and actionable for clinicians.

In today’s episode, we ‘dig into’ the newly upgraded GI Effects stool test and how we’ve made it more comprehensive and actionable for clinicians. We discuss how the new upgrade synthesizes information more clearly, making it easier for clinicians to diagnose GI dysfunctions and identify what to do to resolve them. We explain how the upgrade helps clinicians recommend relevant therapeutic interventions to their patients and how it helps them better understand the microbiome. We also discuss the methane dysbiosis score and how the relative abundance section of the GI Effects test reports help you better address and treat your patients’ symptoms.

“The end goal is clinical utility.” - Michael Chapman
