• Applicable diagnostics (e.g., dysbiosis index), including prioritization of diagnostics when financial limitations are present
• The importance of dietary modification as the first-line approach, implementing and evaluating the efficacy of dietary trials, and guidance on selecting the appropriate diet for GI cases
• The use of antibiotics, including the mounting evidence against their use for diarrhea and enteropathy
