 I'm asked often, Do you drink Coffee? With looks of anticipated dissatisfaction. After the first month of the elimination diet, I began adding tea, and ultimately coffee back to my diet. My experience has been that coffee increases my gut motility (digestion) and it makes me feel good.  I read a study (cite) that reported drinking black tea was good for diarrhea, while it made me happy, there was no change in my stools after a few weeks. So, I upgraded to coffee, and had no increased symptoms. What do a few studies about coffee, pro and con say? sets tone:  Despite in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological studies having shown that coffee may exert multiple effects on the digestive tract, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative effects on the mucosa, and pro-motility effects on the external muscle layers, much is still surprisingly unknown.   However, in high contrast with what is known for other body systems and functions (i.e., cardiovascular ...

I swear every source on IBD & Crohn's has a different recommended diet. Some of these diets are polar opposites of each other. Each have small studies to back up their conclusions.  Specific Carbohydrate Diet Mediterranean Diet Low Fiber Diet Low Residue Diet Gluten Free Paleo Diet IBD Remission Diet (this one makes me laugh, and then cramp up hard style) - https://www.uhhospitals.org/services/Digestive-health-services/Conditions-and-treatments/small-and-large-intestine/inflammatory-bowel-disease/diet-guide Low Fodmap diet IBD-AID - https://www.umassmed.edu/nutrition/ibd/ibdaid/ Microbiome aware diets - a Whole biome approach, including both; eukaryotic cells and bacteria.  Processed foods vs "industrialized foods": Processed can be anything from cooking to adding ingredients fermenting etc.   Industrialized foods(This is gonna be a loose term for a while) are foods made from lowest bidder ingredients, on a factory floor, using chemical forms of ingredi...

 Everybody says peppers are the source of the pain and inflammation in my gut. I like hot foods, but I don't eat that much, 1 in every couple of days is spicy. When compared with entire countries that use spicy foods as a staple, I find my modest use of peppers to not truly be a variable. But let's see: Capsaicin Chemical compound Capsaicin is an active component of chili peppers, which are plants belonging to the genus Capsicum. It is a chemical irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Wikipedia The “hot” in hot peppers is due to capsaicin (C18h27nO3), a colorless, odorless oil-like compound found in the fruit of a plant that is a close relative of the tomato. Capsaicin is primarily found in the membrane that holds the seeds.  Hot Peppers: - American Chemical Society For me, my only real symptoms (when not having a flare up) after eating spicy foods is a burning mouth, increased body temperatur...

 Is it possible the framework of personality (desire, ambition, pleasures and pains) is driven in part by gut microbiota?

 Patient History patient has presented with abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and nausea. 1989-patient had a very small appetite, eating too much brought on vomiting. patient had inconsistent eating habits. donuts some days. eggs and oatmeal others. nervous stomach 1990's patient would present with abdominal morning pains, described as piercing in the gut, patient thought this was normal. 2000's patient had numerous flare ups. Abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, exacerbated by stress and diet. Medical attention showed peptic ulcer disease after colonoscopy, small bowl, and endoscopy 2005: patient performed more tests 2022: Assay, Blood Tests, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy

Upper GI endoscopy Epigastric pain ​ ​ After obtaining informed consent, the endoscope was passed under direct vision.  Findings: - The oropharynx was normal. - The upper third of the esophagus, middle third of the esophagus and lower third of the esophagus were normal. Biopsies were obtained with cold forceps for histology in the middle third of the esophagus. - The Z-line was regular and was found 40 cm from the incisors. - Minimal inflammation was found in the stomach. Biopsies were taken with a cold forceps for histology. Estimated blood loss was minimal. - The examined duodenum was normal. Biopsies were taken with a cold forceps for histology. Estimated blood loss was minimal. - The cardia and gastric funds were normal on retroflexion. Colonoscopy Chronic Diarrhea ​ Findings: - The perianal and digital rectal examinations were normal. Pertinent negatives include normal sphincter tone, no palpable rectal lesions and normal prostate (size, shape, and consistency). - A patch...

Every individual has a unique microbiome like a fingerprint. The members of this microbiome can be influenced by our diet and environment. If the biome is not in balance, bacteria that cause negative effects can dominate and, dysbiosis, mental and physical pathologies can occur. To correct the dysbiosis, bacteria that hurt the body need to be removed and bacteria that help the body need to be introduced or provided for in order that they stay. 5R Plan (Remove, reduce, reuse) Prebiotics Inulin & GOS : Not ready to introduce yet Probiotics Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria probiotics Supplement with S. Boulardii Orthospore IG (Dr. prescribed, and I had no idea about it) Enzymes FODMATE (Dr. prescribed, and I had no idea about it) Antibiotics (This is beyond the scope of what a regular person can do without a prescription, however the data is beneficial) After reading, it seems rifamaxin seems to leave the postive bacteria while eliminating the bacteria that create negative metabolite...

Microbiome The microbiome consists of microbes that are both helpful and potentially harmful. Most are symbiotic (where both the human body and microbiota benefit) and some, in smaller numbers, are pathogenic (promoting disease). In a healthy body, pathogenic and symbiotic microbiota coexist without problems. But if there is a disturbance in that balance—brought on by infectious illnesses, certain diets, or the prolonged use of antibiotics or other bacteria-destroying medications—dysbiosis occurs, stopping these normal interactions. As a result, the body may become more susceptible to disease. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/microbiome/  Current understanding of the human microbiome  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7043356/ Human Microbiome Project : If humans are thought of as a composite of microbial and human cells, the human genetic landscape as an aggregate of the genes in the human genome and the microbiome, and human metabolic features as a ble...
