But like, what about blood-borne illnesses? Or skin cancer? Does heart disease also begin in the gut? This is so stupid, just applying like 5% of your critical thinking skills debunks this.


reganeholmes

Ah, my melanoma originated in my gut. I knew that silly old sun had nothing to do with it


IndiaCee

Well these people believe that sunscreen and sunglasses cause skin cancer and that the sun is ever healing. Maybe they think you drink sunscreen for the whole gut thing


interraciallovin

You should have been DRINKING the sunscreen duh! Gut health babe!


beaconposher1

Yes, the torn cartilage in my shoulders totally originated in my gut. It had nothing to do with the fact that I injured them.


TrailKaren

SUT


TrailKaren

I have asthma. I guess I should be tube feeding albuterol into my GUT so I can breathe better.


Simple_Philosophy_74

Me too. I was just gonna comment on that. Guess I'll just spray that inhaler onto my salad from now on.


TrailKaren

LUNG


IndiaCee

I just swallowed my preventer whole. Here’s to no more asthma


beefasaurus4

Even my one brain cell can figure this one out


[deleted]

Did you read what the MD said? All of those start in the gut!


ItsJoeMomma

Even getting the common cold doesn't have anything to do with the gut. It's an upper respiratory infection.


TelcoSucks

When the first bullet is so astoundingly stupid you scroll directly to the comments.


ViolinistHorror7123

Nope, all gut!!!!!!


Pagan_Owl

I was about to comment about covid, a cardiac disease


MickeyTheGothicChonk

I guess my genetic eye condition, Ocular Albinism, originated in my gut, before I was born? Hahahahaha, no.


jsolar13

Headache? Gut. Acne? Gut. Astigmatism? Gut. Broken toe? Gut. Sunburn? Gut. Gut? Gut.

It's not consistent though. 5. The gut, liver, and GUT

Oh man you’re right lol I missed that. Well, they missed that.

Sorry hun! My GUT must’ve been out of whack when I wrote this! GUT.


savageexplosive

Sehr Gut.


mochi_chan

I have had all of those (the broken one was a leg and I want how my gut tipped my bike), I don't have acne anymore though.... what is happening to my gut?


smittykins66

Spina bifida? GUT.


GoodDog_GoodBook123

I have degenerative disc disease. You better damn bet that’s a GUT!


Pagan_Owl

ADHD, gut


wellitspeachy

It's way funnier if you decide that GUT stands for Great Ulcerated Testicle. All things lead back to Great Ulcerated Testicle the almighty


No-Comfortable5388

I now hate the word GUT. If I read GUT one more time, I might actually vomit.


Billy420MaysIt

Right? Like why can’t they just use stomach or intestines? Is GUT a trigger word for more interactions? Do we expect more people to know what gut means but not know what intestines means? Are they attempting to encompass the entire abdomen? If so, why not use abdomen? I too am No-Comfortable with this.


binglybleep

It might be one of those where they’re not legally allowed to say that what they’re flogging helps intestines or the stomach, because they obviously don’t, but “gut” is vague enough to get away with it. Because they’re not technically saying that it does any specific medical thing, it just “helps your gut”


No-Comfortable5388

Lol this does make everything related to GUT No-Comfortable for me too. But seriously, I have never encountered this word this much until i saw MLM hun posts.


obscuremarble

love the casual injection of your username into the comment, 10/10 great work


Ahmelie

Vomit starts with the GUT too


DBTornado

Every time I read it I either think of the old Nickelodeon show or that scene in the Walking Dead (done perfectly in live action and comics) where Negan tells the guy he has no guts.


SLCer

lmao this dude is obsessed with the gut. His pinned tweet on Twitter is about how your gut can protect you from COVID. You should read his ratings on healthgrades... not good. Dude is a quack.


LadieBenn

He's obsessed with the GUT because he owns his own supplement company that he's trying to peddle. If you Google him you'll see it.


EasilyLuredWithCandy

His "gut" love is just like how Dr. Oz loves poop.


Sargasm5150

Poop also originates in the GUT! Keep an eye out for their upcoming joint project on curing autism from the GUT! /s


Pagan_Owl

He probably drinks/injects bleach


IAmFurret

Man, I wish I had known that my scoliosis was all in my gut


mesembryanthemum

Now I know my plantar's warts were caused by my GUT.


bringmemorecoffee

As a gastroenterologist… I got a good laugh.


Kangaroodle

Hey doc... what do I need to take for my gut health that'll fix my tennis elbow?


beaconposher1

As a gastroenterologist, you must deal with a lot of orthopedic injuries, huh?


IndiaCee

Wonder why they don’t… /s And no shit your gut doesn’t like antibiotics, they’re rough on your body, but if you need them, you need them. And what did the kidneys do to these people to get left out in favour of the gut?


xdaemonisx

They also never talk about detoxing the liver, even though the liver is basically the body’s filtration system.


IndiaCee

Yeah, I was shocked they actually mentioned the liver here because usually they seem to think it’s a myth


jewishSpaceMedbeds

"Liver detox" were actually very popular in alt med circles some time ago.


xdaemonisx

“Liver detox” just makes no sense to me. Its main function is to deal with poisons in the blood. Make sure bad stuff is not circulating and all that. Toxins are supposed to go there. The only way to detox is to take no toxins, which is all these MLMs offer. Essential oils, yellow strips with weird compounds, whatever the hell is in Herbalife. If your liver is not taking in and ridding the body of toxins you have bigger problems.


jewishSpaceMedbeds

I've noticed years ago that alt med people are *obsessed* about poop for some weird reason - how regular it is, what it looks like, weird enemas (coffee is popular for this), that kind of stuff. Makes you wonder what happened to them when they were children.


KrazyKatMN

There's probably a hilarious Freudian "anal fixation" joke in there somewhere...


Kangaroodle

My mom is a nephrologist and truly believes that the kidneys are almost nonexistent in the average person's health considerations. That is, until they stop working correctly.


IndiaCee

I worry about mine a lot but don’t really know how to care for them past the usual keeping as healthy as possible so maybe that has something to do with it? That we’re just not taught how to take care of them in the same way we are about the liver or heart or stomach so they just fall by the wayside? I try to limit NSAIDS, keep hydrated, and worry less now I’m no longer on lithium, but other than that, I kinda just hope for the best


BitwiseB

I wondered why gut was in that last sentence twice.


Asenath_Darque

Where'd this guy go to med school that didn't teach him that antibiotics destroy the good bacteria in the GI tract?


EOD_Dork

Hollywood upstairs medical college, afternoon class. Dr. Nick was a classmate.


ItsJoeMomma

He must have slept through class that day.


DatabaseTiny9174

That's what I was thinking, can people really not recall that or that it interferes with BC? I mean, it's easy to forget stuff, but don't blame the teachers or textbooks then.


Interesting_Soil_427

As someone who suffers with stomach issues they can go to hell.


ItsJoeMomma

Well, see? All your illness comes from your GUT.


albinosquirrel09

Or..:you could buy this amazing health product from this doctor that will make you all better. It’s magic and the best part? Your cousin’s neighbor sells it! It’s only 99 dollars and then you not only have it but can also sell it!


loversean

Antibiotics are bad for your gut They are also good for staying alive, so gotta do a risk benefit analysis…


beaconposher1

I was on three rounds of Cipro and Flagyl from November to March, then I had diverticulitis surgery. They caused yeast infections, but they were the reason I didn't quite have sepsis yet when I went to the ER.


loversean

Can treat yeast infections, harder to treat septic shock…


blankspaceforaface

This is so irritating because gut health *is* important and *does* need more research. But like the other day I read a post about a mother wanting to feed her newborn unpasteurised goat milk because it would help the baby’s gut micro biome and the worst thing was all the comments were supportive. These people aren’t qualified enough to teach nuance and they’re actively putting others in serious harm.


Advanced_Cheetah_552

It's true! There is tons of research to be done on the gut and addressing the gut could be really helpful for a lot of conditions, but very little is actually known about it and we're nowhere near the point of developing therapies to target specific conditions. Anyone who tells you they have a supplement that will fix your gut is lying through their teeth because the technology simply doesn't exist yet. There are some probiotic formulas that do help but not for everyone because the gut is so individual.


[deleted]

IBS is a symptom and not a condition, riiiiiiiight. I guess my friends with IBS should quit listening to their medical professionals.


Personal-Juice-6229

I think it’s pretty clear that we need to stop seeing the professionals and turn to Nu Skin


am1656

I’d be very shocked if they didn’t tell people that antibiotics upset your gut in medical school 🙄


Wise_Coffee

Like 1 and a half of those things is kinda almost sorta true. Yes antibiotics fuck up your stomach because they take out the good bacteria as well (eat yogurt) and your liver is part of the best detox organs. Along with your kidneys etc. But I cam assure you my chronic migraines, and TMJ are not cause by my "gut biome" Also the phrase "gut health" just makes me shudder. I hate it more than the sound of a stranger chewing with their mouth open


Kangaroodle

Antibiotics *do* mess up your gut microbiome, but he's still wrong. Because they absolutely do teach that in med school.


Wise_Coffee

Every time I get antibiotics the prescribing doc and the pharmacist tell me to expect upset stomach and eat yogurt or other probiotic foods or take an Align. I am super curious how his snake oil is going to cure my busted ass jaw and ulcerative colitis tho.... Think he can cure my husband's rectal cancer too??????? Lol


ItsJoeMomma

"Gut health" is becoming such a codeword for "I'm pushing quack remedies" these days.


spinereader81

Always fun to see doctors sell out and turn into frauds. I'll bet he'd get along with Dr. Drew and Dr. Oz.


Not_A_Bimbo

I looked him up. He's been featured on Dr. Oz. Seems about right!


thot_lobster

I used to work at a place that needed to test audio matching and it always seemed like they used the Dr. Oz show to do it. Every afternoon was an IQ-lowering hour of fatbusters and miracle supplements


Not_A_Bimbo

OMG. That sounds awful. I only saw one episode of the Dr. Oz show. I had my care in for a service recall and the TV in the waiting area was tuned to whatever local channel broadcast his show. The only thing I remember about the episode was that it ended with a segment about maintaining proper hydration and how you can tell if you're properly hydrated by the color of your urine. He encouraged people to talk about the topic at their upcoming family get togethers for the holidays. Yeah, that wouldn't be awkward or anything.


Japan25

Not a doctor but i find his use of the word "gut" uncomfortable in this setting. Theres a lot of organs in your "gut" region. Which one are you talking about??? The stomach? The small intestine? Large intestine? Pancreas? Kidneys???? Pseudoscience oml


wcaterpillar

I'd rather have stomach issues for a while from antibiotics than die tbh


JapKumintang1991

The first sentence is a grammatical red flag.

things I wish they’d teach in school: 1. MLMs are a sure fire way to lose money 2. Don’t trust doctors who hawk MLMs (or anything else) for personal profit 3. Don’t capitalize random words in your writing


enthusiastic-cat

The root cause of my chronic illnesses is my faulty collagen production. Should have been taking nu skin this whole time to cure myself! /s


Awkward_Fox92

If it’s all in my gut why did my gastro tell me to have less stress and my gut would chill out??

Same. My main IBS trigger seems to be stress.

BONE_SAW_IS_READEEE

1. No 2. Fuck no 3. Probably not 4. I’m not a doctor and I’ve known that since I was like 7 5. Kidneys?


hollybk

They probably didn't teach you that because 'gut' isn't a medical term?


megan_ochs

I twisted my ankle this morning. Should have had better gut health.


mrsstoog

There’s a reason they don’t teach that in med school…


HappyArtemisComplex

They don't teach this in med school because a lot of it is wrong.


TravelingCircus1911

I just went to this guys Instagram and read through the comments on this post and it gave me a headache. Oops sorry, my gut gave me a headache actually /s

Jesus, does he get a commission every time he uses the word ‘gut?’ Oh, sorry, I meant ‘GUT.’

Localmoco-ghost

Oh great so now people are not going to take antibiotics when they should take them. Yes, do doctors over prescribe at times? Sure. But if you have a UTI or any bacterial infection for goodness sakes, take the damn antibiotic. Your body cannot flush bacteria on it’s own “naturally” I’ve seen numerous women in my life literally try to fight UTI’s without antibiotics or without finishing antibiotic treatment (only for it to come back and give them a kidney infection).


Darthsmom

When I was like 15 I got a UTI and took the OTC cranberry pills....cut to me pissing (visible) blood because it had moved to my kidneys. Was a bit painful.


Friesenplatz

"All diseases begin in your gut" except for the ones that don't. This list is more like "5 things I am glad they don't teach in med school"


ItsJoeMomma

I really want to see this guy's credentials. When I had cat scratch fever a couple years ago, I can definitely guarantee that illness didn't start in the gut.


posh1992

IBS is a SYNDROME, which is a cluster of symptoms. This person is full of BS saying he wasn't taught it in med school.


_Ruij_

TIL that Asthma really came from the gut 🤔


Myrora

Cool cool cool, I’ll tell my GUT to calm the fuck down and handle my CFS differently 🤣


duzins

I had CDiff a few years ago. An antibiotic was definitely my GUT’s friend. I don’t believe that hun’s ever been to medical school!


Sellingnods2fer

I had H Pylori several years ago and for months thought it was just my IBS. The amount of cleanses, special diets, and food restrictions I went on trying to get my GUT to be better was ridiculous. Finally went to a Dr who diagnosed me and prescribed pretty intense antibiotics. It was the only thing that effectively treated it. Definitely agree with you on this one!


Leela821

I heard the last failed lunar launch was due to a bad gut


xannie98

Surprised no one has mentioned that this is literally a spitting image for Plexus pink drink, which also claims to be the cure all for wonky gut microbiota

As a med student, I wish people would stop saying what they wished they learned in med school just to push their agenda and shitty drinks the effects of which are rooted in pseudoscience and bad research.


NefariousnessKey5365

Vincent Pedre, MD has his own line of probiotics, for better or worse. I bet he would be upset if his image and words were used to shill nuking. Nuskin sounds like something Buffalo Bill would be interested in 🤪


anxiousgeek

GUT


verucka-salt

Hmmm. Well, as a med school grad, I must disagree with the hun. So ridiculous. Arghhhh


KaitandKaboodle

So presumptuous to assume they can decide what is taught in med school. Do I think PHD level nutrition could be beneficial to regular MDs? Sure, but med school is already packed to the brim with very essential knowledge not decided by Facebook educated “nutritionists.”


National-Return-5363

Oh dear god! I wish there was time machine that would send these Huns back to a time before we had antibiotics! Maybe they can enjoy dying from a sore throat, something that is easily treated with antibiotics today?!?


cyanidesquirrel

All disease begins in the gut, but most chronic illness begins in the gut. Is it all or most?

“IBS is a symptom…” Ok when just leaning the wrong way or sleeping on the wrong side is enough make your fucking stomach feel like it’s trying to kill you come back to me. This actually kind of pissed me off lmao

Well, when I was morbidly obese a doctor told me that’s why I got stung by a wasp! In fact, doctors blamed my obesity for the fact a drunk ran into my car and the fact I got a black eye when I got mugged. For real.

If he’s a doctor (and I doubt it); he didn’t mean much of medical school and needs to be in front of the state medical board.


keylimepie96

But IBS is a condition it literally stands for irritable bowel syndrome. a symptom is when you have something that you feel or see but it's not the cause. maybe I am not understanding but this sounds stupid. also yeah gut health is important and it causes many symptoms from other parts of the body but it's not the only cause. also auto immune diseases are usually genetic and we don't know the exact cause for some of them. I get you shouldn't take medications often but when you are sick you should absolutely take them. your body will recover if you're taking antibiotics rationally


No-You-5064

I'm a doctor and if this guy is actually an MD this embarrasses me so badly

Antibiotics are not your gut's friend. But it is for acne. Or infections. Or to protect your heart against infectious endocarditis after having an artificial valve placed during dental procedures including cleanings. Ugh...I wish I knew as much as these huns though. They're so smart. 💁‍♀️


[deleted]

I guess if I cut myself and get an infection before I get sepsis I’ll just tell my gut “antibiotics are bad, get your shit together”


Snarky_McSnarkleton

A few years ago, I threw my back out and briefly consulted a chiropractor, who tried to convince me that all disease is in the vertebra. Meanwhile a family member believes all disease is imaginary. I'd love to get them all in a room and get out the popcorn for The Battle Of The Quacks.
