@HealthyAlfred Impossible to chew. Gets stuck everywhere in your teeth.

Mastic gum FIXED IBS in a 3-month trial. While your doctor was still calling it “functional.” Not probiotics. Not SSRIs. A tree resin. Published. Peer-reviewed. Bloating — gone. Abdominal pain — gone. Quality of life — restored. Cramping — gone. Stool urgency — gone. Patients who’d suffered for years? Symptom-free. The resin was ACTIVE. It rebuilt the gut lining, killed the wrong bacteria, and reduced inflammation at the source. Root cause addressed. SSRIs can’t do that. They numb your brain’s response to gut pain. That’s why you still bloat. That’s why you still cramp. That’s why the pain comes back the moment you stop. SSRIs mask. This tree resin repaired. Most gut remedies are trial and error — FODMAP diets, probiotic roulette, elimination protocols. But the MASTIQUA trial went further. 55 IBS patients. Randomized. Placebo-controlled. Mastic gum reduced symptom severity and improved quality of life over 3 months. Not in a forum. In a clinical trial. In a separate study of 148 functional dyspepsia patients, mastic gum 350mg three times daily significantly reduced symptom scores vs placebo in 3 weeks. In another trial on 60 IBD patients, mastic gum lowered disease activity markers and improved quality of life over 3 months. Not a miracle. Not a replacement for medical care. But the data exists and nobody talks about it. H. pylori is linked to chronic gut inflammation that fuels IBS and dyspepsia. Mastic gum kills H. pylori. Mastic gum also rebuilds the gut lining directly. Two mechanisms. One tree resin. $30 a month. The gut industry doesn’t sell repair. It sells labels. Think about why. Everything you need below ↓

@HansAmato I can tell from personal experience, that I get way way way worse when trying those 4, with bone broth and kombucha being the worst for me. Same with probiotics. I feel horrible for 2 days.

Bone broth, kombucha, kimchi, and sauerkraut are the four most recommended "gut healing" foods on the internet. All four make gut inflammation worse if your gut is already in bad shape. Every functional medicine practitioner, every gut health influencer, every "heal your gut naturally" protocol lists at least two of these. And for someone with healthy digestion, they can be fine. But if your gut is already inflamed, your digestion is already failing, and bacteria are already overgrowing and fermenting food they shouldn't be, these four foods do the opposite of what you've been told. Bone broth is loaded with histamine. Histamine is an inflammatory compound your body produces during immune reactions. The longer bone broth cooks, the more histamine builds up. If your gut is already inflamed, histamine is already elevated. Adding a concentrated histamine bomb makes things worse. The bloating, the brain fog, the heart pounding after a bowl of bone broth isn't a "healing reaction." It's your body reacting to more inflammation on top of existing inflammation. Kombucha is fermented. It contains live bacteria. Adding more bacteria to a gut that's already overgrown doesn't rebalance anything. It's like throwing more people into an overcrowded room. The bloating after kombucha isn't your gut "adjusting." It's fermentation on top of fermentation. Kimchi and sauerkraut are both fermented and packed with histamine and other inflammatory compounds. In a gut that's already reacting to everything, these foods can trigger anxiety, rapid heart rate, insomnia, flushing, and headaches within hours. Same mechanism across all four: you're adding inflammatory triggers and more bacteria to a system that's already inflamed and overgrown. Every symptom gets louder. And when you tell your practitioner you feel worse, they call it a "healing crisis" and tell you to push through. It's not a healing crisis. They added fuel to the fire and charged you for it. The fix is about SEQUENCE. Lower the inflammation first. Fix the digestion first. Address the overgrowth first. Then, once the gut is stable, fermented foods can be slowly reintroduced and may actually help. But the order matters. Fermented foods on an inflamed gut is physical therapy on a broken leg. The treatment isn't wrong. The timing is. I break down the full gut repair sequence (what goes first, what goes last, and why the order determines whether you get better or worse) on my Substack. Link in bio.

Listen to this, perfectly explained. It’s all been a big fraud and a lie all done purposely.

@arielhelwani "People can relate to pain". Brilliant moment of honest TV

This was an incredible, seemingly impromptu, moment on what has become the best studio show in sports. Bravo to all involved.

@SandroSpaso Genialt! Og begge 2 konge fodboldspillere.

Kæft hvor er Henry klasse! Her sætter han ord på noget vigtigt. Micah Richards er altid ham der får folk til at grine. Sådan en kender vi alle. Men de har også svære perioder. Måden Henry anerkender ham på, kan mange lære af. Mere af den her slags ❤️🙏🏼

@paulsaladinomd Or being sick as f... even though you eat healthy, stress manage and sleep well. Who can brag about that... huh?

the biggest flex in 2026 is being fit, strong, and fertile without GLP-1s, steroids, or peptides.

@JonasHelmy Du er så vild! Elsker når du kommenterer noget god bold! Tak for det. #wrexhamchelsea

@vitalizereality @AlpacaAurelius This is what I wanted to write. My candida would love all that sugar :(

@AlpacaAurelius Completely dependent on the state of one's health. The best diet for someone could be the worst diet for someone else. Have someone with gut dysbiosis and overgrowth go on high carb and you've got yourself a big problem.

high carb, medium protein, low fat is the best diet by far. the best on energy, metabolism, muscle mass, gut & liver health.

@epicredcards Might just have been some of the best years, the last 100 years!

My whole life just flashed before my eyes🥹😭

@RasmusBoysen92 Brilliant!

@HustleBitch_ Yep. Going on for 3½ years here for me.

🚨 “THIS DOESN’T FEEL NORMAL” - PEOPLE ARE GETTING WRECKED BY A MYSTERY VIRUS "The virus that's going around right now is so strange." A woman says she came down with something she’s never experienced before, and the symptoms keep changing. It started with a sore throat so painful she said it felt like swallowing knives. Then came brutal sinus pressure, congestion, and nonstop nasal drip. That faded… and suddenly it turned into crushing headaches, full-body aches, muscle weakness so bad she said lifting basic things felt painful. She had no fever. It's not COVID. Not the flu either. One day her entire body hurt. The next day it moved somewhere else. Then came night sweats. She says she’s been taking nonstop medicine and it’s still “genuinely awful.” Scroll the comments and you’ll see the same thing over and over: “It doesn’t feel normal.” “I’ve never been this wiped out.” “This isn’t like anything I’ve had before.” So what the hell is going around, and why are so many people describing the exact same weird symptoms?

@karlmehta Gemini says I will suffer badly if I eat like this (I've got SIBO and Steatocrit of 29%)

Thanks for reading. This was part 23 of my 50-part series on the best bio hacks based on the recent research to optimize your health. If you enjoyed this post, follow @karlmehta for part 24. Repost the first tweet to help more people see it:

Scientists tracked 25,315 women for 25 years. Those who followed one eating pattern had 23% lower risk of dying from anything. Not a fad. Not restriction. A 4,000-year-old diet backed by the largest nutrition trial ever run. Here's exactly what I'd eat (and avoid): 🧵

@RasmussenT56381 And for me, it is not even about prevention. I have been rather sick for three years now. I had to test for mineral deficiencies myself, and I am low on zinc, among other things.

@NoobVisions Holy moly! That is kind of crazy. Why is it that one can't get help to prevent illness

So today I called my doctor to book bloodwork to check my vitamin D levels. The conversation went roughly like this: Me: I have had issues with keeping up my vitamin D level over winter, so I would like them checked. Secretary: I can't help you with that. If you don't have any symptoms of vitamin D deficiency, we can't help. Me: I don't have symptoms, but I would like to stay healthy and prevent disease. Secretary: If you get symptoms, I can book you in. Me: This has nothing to do with healthcare; it is only sick care! There is no intention to work on prevention and keeping people healthy! Have a great day. Goodbye.

@DawnHoff1976 @RasmussenT56381 Jeg har bestilt mine prøver på gettestet. De er vist svenske. Ville bare gerne have hjælp til at tage dem, men nope

@NoobVisions @RasmussenT56381 Er der ikke private laboratorier i Danmark? Ellers må du komme herned, jrg har en Dansk læge der gerne bestiller prøverne på privat lab.

@venkie_007 @dr_ericberg 1 glass f...ed me up good for the day lol

@dr_ericberg Don't do this guys if you have gut issues. Cabbage is HIGH FODMAP vegitable. It will cause gas, bloating, abdominal pressure for someone who already has stomach issues. Yes, it is good choice for someone with a strong digestion and no gas issues

Do you have inflammation anywhere in your digestive tract? There is a simple, inexpensive remedy with almost no side effects that helps soothe irritation from the stomach to the colon while supporting your gut microbes. Here's how it works: 🧵

@SBakerMD Actually I lost almost 30kg eating nothing but meat, vegetables and fruit and drinking blended smoothies everyday.

What did you do to “un-fat” yourself ?

@bryan_johnson Horrible. Body acting like crazy. Brain Fog. Bacterial overgrowth, poor fat absorption, and low key nutrients. Poor absorption.

time to check in…how’s everyone doing? sleeping, exercising, eating well?….going through a rough patch or are things good? tell me what’s going on.
