In this episode, the Turds explain their approach to gathering a comprehensive gastrointestinal (GI) history from patients. They emphasize the importance of reviewing past medical history, imaging, and diagnostic studies, including functional stool tests and SIBO tests. The conversation covers the different areas of the digestive system—upper GI, small bowel, and large bowel—highlighting relevant symptoms and tests for each. Topics also include dietary recommendations, the role of fiber and hormones in GI health, and the effects of neurologic disorders and stress on the digestive system. The hosts share practical advice on prioritizing testing and treatment tailored to the patient's history, touching on subjects like food poisoning, dental history, surgeries, and allergies.
