Incredible stuff I hope we continue to work on cracking this nut. It feels like we've made rapid progress ever since I heard about how half of our serotonin is made in our gut.

I somewhat recently found out that a huge portion of the chronic pain that I have experienced for years was due to food intolerances.

I almost bankrupted myself trying to get out of pain because of the USA's awful healthcare system. I even asked a Rheumatologist directly about trying a change of diet, and he just stared at me blankly as though suggesting such a thing was equivalent to asking about blood letting.

Somehow gut health was just not taught in med school in the USA when that particular doctor was educated. We're making rapid progress because there was previously a huge lack of knowledge.

The good news is: we're just getting started on finding causes and solutions to a lot of health problems that start in the gut.

equivalent to asking about blood letting

Nothing to do with your case but just as a fun fact: bloodletting is the top tier therapy for hemochromatosis

Also yeah, we pretty much don't know anything about our own microbiome

Interesting! Are you sure that isn't just Dr. Acula at his normal hijinx again?

Very certain, it's actually spearheaded by sir Alin Ungureanu, the famous cardiologist.

He's generally credited as Al U, Card.
