I read a lot of PubMed. Looking for overlaps in transition metal homeostasis, histamine intolerance, microbiome disruption (bacterial and/or fungal) and IBD.

Back on my soapbox for a minute. Really wanting to see IBD research looking at chronic ingestion if Type IV hypersensitivity foods, like high nickel or high cobalt, zinc/calcium transport, and how that affects pathogenic bacteria like AIEC. #crohns #ibd #microbiome

Until now, the gut microbiome hasn't been used to make clinical diagnoses. That may change. A new report on its utility for non-invasively diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease. nature.com/articles/s41591-0… @NatureMedicine @Siew_C_Ng

#Nickel levels have not previously been evaluated in #IBD, but several studies refer to the disrupting role of nickel in gut microbiota eubiosis (37). Our results agree in part with these as nickel levels were higher in active CD compared to inactive UC… frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
