Minimally Invasive Diagnostics For Patients With Troublesome Digestive Symptoms

Description:

There are now minimally invasive tests that dig deeper into peristalsis and the brain-gut axis and breath testing can also be used to look for Helicobacter pylori, lactose intolerance and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). This short video uses high quality animations that describe the anatomy of the 26 feet long digestive tract and summarises three minimally invasive ("high tech") diagnostic steps that can distinguish the possible origins of abnormal gut feelings.
