The following discussion is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease.

Please do not apply any of this information without

first speaking with your doctor. Now, let's head to the show. Hi, everyone. Today I speak again with

Dr. Mark Pimentel, who is one of the leading researchers in IBS and CBO, definitely in the U.S., perhaps even worldwide,

certainly pioneering quite a number of fascinating and helpful findings in the field of IBS

and CBO.

We discuss more specifically the new arrival in the gut health toolkit of a CBO breath test now able to not only test hydrogen and methane, but also now hydrogen sulfide.

We discuss the fact that hydrogen sulfide seems to more closely correlate with symptoms than does hydrogen.

And we discuss some of what those symptoms are.

We also discuss how to interpret the test.

We discuss the kind of controversy, and he actually, I thought, had the only argument I found to be compelling,

swaying or making me reevaluate my thinking to lean in the direction of a glucose test rather than a lactulose test.

So I think you'll find that quite insightful.

We also go into treatment and a, what I would term a non-reductionistic and inflammatory-based

hypothesis on motility, and a few other hopefully entertaining musings with Mark, which I'm sure

you will find very insightful and enjoyable. I also want to

remind you about healthy gut, healthy you. If you are struggling with digestive symptoms and you're

looking for a resource that integrates much of what you've read or heard about into an actionable

plan, then I would definitely refer you to Healthy,
