What You Need to Know About Stool Testing and Fertility

Published: Feb. 24, 2020, 8 a.m.

Brandy Buskow joins us today as we\u2019re digging into stool testing and what it means for fertility.

Yep\u2026we\u2019re talking about poop today!

It\u2019s the last place that your conventional doctor will look when you have infertility\u2026while in functional medicine it\u2019s one of the first places.

I\u2019ve shared with you about my food sensitivity\u2026which I discovered years ago\u2026.and when I took out the foods\u2026I gradually started to feel better (I discovered this too late, as I was fully in menopause \u2013 if you are still cycling naturally there are steps we can take!).

And then years later after the food sensitivity, I discovered I had a gut infection too.

I had H.Pylori, streptococcus and a fungal overgrowth and really high sensitivity to gluten (which I already knew \u2013 but the stool test confirmed it \u2013 so I had to watch out for cross reactors).

When I found this out\u2026I gotta tell you\u2026I was upset! Okay I was pissed!!!

Because I thought I was this super healthy person. Eating organic, taking out the inflammatory foods, eliminating the environmental toxins\u2026you name it I was doing it\u2026.but like I\u2019ve shared because my periods were irregular in my early 20\u2019s, I was placed on hormonal birth control.

I\u2019ve talked about post birth control syndrome (this impacts our nutrient levels \u2013 you could be eating a super health diet \u2013 but not absorbing the nutrients, and it negatively impacts gut health (cue \u2013 leaky gut, food sensitivities and gut infections).

That\u2019s why a stool test is always a must if you are struggling with infertility. Especially if you have gone #glutenfree #dairyfree and still aren\u2019t pregnant or able to carry your baby to term.

Remember if your body is under attack it wants to survive not procreate.

And if you have a gut infection\u2026the body is under attack!

Time to dig deeper!

On this podcast you\u2019ll learn:

  • We review the top functional stool tests and which stool test we like and why. We discuss the link between gut infections such as (parasites, bacteria and fungal infections) and infertility. Plus which parasites are autoimmune triggers \u2013 we see so many people with autoimmunity and infertility.
  • Why H.Pylori doesn\u2019t always present with typical acid reflux symptoms (which was the case for me) and why it\u2019s important to eradicate before #ttc.
  • How to heal gut infections. The functional versus the conventional medical route \u2013 we discuss pro\u2019s and con\u2019s. Plus we talk about supplement recommendations.
