tive. Commensal comes from Latin, roughly translating to "coming together at the table." This translation speaks to the symbiotic relationship between our bodies and the trillions of gut bacteria living inside our digestive tracts. We need them just as much as they need us to survive and imbalances in the levels of good fl ora, referred to as dysbiosis, can lead to a variety of symp- toms. Choosing the right dose and strain of probiotics is essential in improving gut health and sometimes, more isn't always better. An overgrowth in the commensal fl ora can cause bloating as these bacteria feast on foods you eat, fermenting them and forming gasses responsible for bloating. By ensuring the proper levels of healthy fl ora and digestive enzymes, we can minimize bloating and discomfort.

are less straightforward, and this is where advance stool testing can help narrow the focus and lead to a more advanced treat- ment plan. A comprehensive stool test can determine the levels of pancreatic enzymes and benefi cial bacteria and whether there is an excess of fats and proteins in the stool, (an indicator of malabsorption). It's not uncommon to see an imbalance in the gut bacteria, with either too much or too little of a specifi c strain of benefi cial bacteria. Stool testing helps your doctor to determine which probiotic is best for you and whether it's necessary to reduce the levels of gut bacteria using herbal antibiotics. What's more impressive: the most comprehensive of stool tests will culture potentially harm- ful bacteria (and fungus) and test against a variety of medications and herbal antimi- crobials to determine which treatment plan is most effective. While there are many herbs with strong antibacterial properties, stool testing through a specialty lab can help your doctor choose the most specifi c protocol for your condition.
