GI tract issues. A lot of people with irritable bowel syndrome, IBS and even ulcerative colitis and Crohn's actually have developed an intolerance to the bacteria in the GI tract, especially yeast. So in this population, focusing on yeast cleansing, which sugar free, gluten free can be a huge one, but also using herbals that can actually cut down on the yeast and some of these patients, I'll do specific tests to look for yeast antibodies, particularly a sarcomyces cerebeciae antibodies and candida antibodies. Antibodies. And if patients have this, you have to be really careful with some of the herbals you use because they can actually flare them as the yeast is killed. So again, buffered C binders, lipid therapy can be really super helpful with this group as well. And sometimes you actually have to use medications to help with the yeast that's affecting these people. It's a really big issue with an irritable inflammatory bowel disease, this inability to tolerate the bacteria in your gut.
