0:25.6	Hey, everyone, and welcome back.
0:26.7	Let's discuss two very common stable mistakes.
0:29.7	And by understanding these and avoiding these, I think we can vastly improve the outcomes,
0:34.3	improve how quickly you reduce the symptoms that you're struggling with, whether
0:39.1	this be abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, food reactivity, or maybe some of the
0:45.0	SIBO symptoms that are not digestive in nature, brain fog, low mood, depression, anxiety,

1:47.6	you have to stick a sampling device down into the small intestine, obtain some fluid, culture
1:55.2	that fluid, and again, this is the gold standard, but for obvious reasons, it's not done readily.
2:01.8	And so another offering is a SIBO breath test.
