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

@JustineBateman Yes. Thank you!!

@viabilitynerd @thegarybrecka My son didn’t have eczema, but had inflammation within his digestive tract because he has a nickel allergy. I didn’t realize that nickel is in foods like chocolate, soy, whole grains, and other whole foods. Another allergy that is similar to nickel hypersensitivity is cobalt.

@Kroger Store at Lebanon & Legacy deserves tremendous credit for their well staffed and well stocked store in preparation for our crazy Texas winter storm’ (Frisco, TX) Thank you!!

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.

@propelacure @UMich Hoping research expands into transition metal homeostasis. Iron, zinc, nickel, etc… Hypersensitivity to nickel and/or cobalt should also be addressed.

@mommyrn88 You are a gem! Thank you for the laughs!!

@bondisands My daughter is a dancer and uses your products frequently. TY for making a product that works well! However, please consider creating an unscented version or alternative scent (I.e. lavender). The coconut scent permeates our entire home when she uses your products! TY

#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… https://t.co/7mwLV4Bfnu

@elonmusk Curious about denim staining the seat over time? Sliding in and out of the seat repeatedly while wearing denim seems to have stained light colored upholstery in my previous vehicles (non-Tesla, though).

@ShomronH I see that titanium dioxide is used as a coloring agent in foods? High nickel foods include: soy, chocolate, whole grains, & legumes.

I’ve been asking about this for 5 years…
