So on the case before, if you got improvement on the yeast with the antimicrobial protocol, should I still not try the antimicrobial herbs again with the elevated lysozyme? Not sure everybody can do this SIBO test easily with him as a child.

Chris Kresser:  I’ve done the SIBO test. I’ve had four-year-olds, even three-year-olds, do the SIBO test. So there may be other circumstances that I’m not aware of, but generally any kid over four years old that can blow on command is able to do it. It’s a little bit difficult with the fasting in the morning. But unless he has some kind of issue, blood sugar issue or mitochondrial issue that makes that really hard on his system, it should be possible. I wouldn’t be opposed to doing additional botanicals if you have a sense that they help. But I always prefer a cautious approach as much as possible with kids.
