The Diagnostic Process
Based on your response to this question, which may indicate either absence of OTC pain medication use or pain medication use, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider possibilities such as:Increased Intestinal Permeability / Leaky Gut
The overuse of pain medication can eventually lead to leaky gut syndrome.
Kidney Disease
Some non-prescription medications – especially painkillers – can potentially cause damage to the kidneys. This includes traditional Chinese 'herbal' medications.
