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

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.

And while I'm on subject of nickel allergy: a polite reminder to #veganuary "everybody can be vegan" proselytisers:
Those with systemic nickel allergy, who require a low-nickel diet, cannot follow a vegan one — not without severely compromising their health.

Wow. Italy showing the way in #freefrom for those with nickel allergy. These are pre-blended ready mixes (using e.g. rice, tapioca, chufa, sweet potato, white teff) and labelled 'low nickel content'. #metalallergy #nickelallergy 1/2

I'm very happy to share our latest work to uncover the genetic determinants of host colonization by Crohn's disease-associated adherent-invasive E. coli #AIEC in the mammalian gut

Two of my patients tested positive for nickel allergy- maybe another consideration for non responders to #glutenfree or #lowfodmap diets. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3275…

If the #IBD world spent as much time on nutrition as it did on debating the marginal benefits between different biologics then overall IBD care would be disproportionately advanced.

I wonder if someday, instead of suppressing the immune system to quiet inflammation via biologics, treatment will consist of taking pills filled with appropriate bacteria to rebalance the gut.
The population of gut microbes is being explored as a proxy for people's well-being. @MayoClinic researchers have developed a mathematical index (named Gut Microbiome Health Index) to distinguish a healthy microbiome from one that is diseased ow.ly/BWPv30rsey1

2021 Jan. Factors in the diet that improve gut barrier are vitamins A, D, tryptophan, cysteine, and fiber. Ethanol, fructose, and dietary emulsifiers increase permeability. Effects of prebiotics on barrier function are modest; probiotics have huge impact. journals.lww.com/ctg/Fulltex…

Plant-human communication is finally here...and it's wonderfully weird. 🥬
Spinach has been engineered to send emails when it finds specific compounds.
This tech could be used to detect landmines, pollution, and even upcoming droughts.
The ultimate superfood...!

This is outstanding and absolutely the right approach to study precision nutrition and ‘omics in IBD. Thank you @CrohnsColitisFn @IBDJournals for an excellent research direction and open access papers. 👏 👏 👏

🚨Published today in @nature - New study providing important mechanistic insight into #IBS
🗝️ finding: pain is caused by a localized immune reaction to food triggered by gut infection that causes normally innocuous foods to be perceived as harmful

KEY READ! Gut "dysbiosis" and the development of pathogenic populations within the gut microbiota may contribute to a wide variety of diseases ranging from bowel inflammation to neurodegenerative diseases and #cancer.

One hundred years ago we didn’t need a label to tell us that our food was local, organic, and grass-fed; all food was whole, real, unadulterated, traditional food.

Metal ions (nickel and chromium) released from orthodontic braces. Even after 1.5 yrs with braces, saliva metal levels were higher than in those without braces. x13 nickel x23 chromium. Not toxic, but harmful for those with metal allergy
