I read a press release 'allegedly' written by him yesterday, I saw some things unfamiliar with the Mallam that was introduced to us, "Too many unconnected words".
Yesterday evening, I listened to Mallam on Fresh FM, he was asked a simple question, "When will the CJ retire?"

This question was repeated thrice, and Mallam derailed just like he was short of information and somehow forcing himself as a Spokesman.
I appreciated the anchor who left him to trend at Stray.
Today, I am listening to him on Rave FM, and the man is still not loaded

@ichudov Colitis is a part of both stress or CoV issues and is complex to resolve.
I have had to do that for myself so I have a lot of info, but mainstream med won't have them. I had to figure it out for myself.
I can share links- chronic diarrhea is more than a 280ch topic.

@ichudov TRP channel activators have to be avoided strictly. Turmeric, ginger, hot or black pepper, cinnamon, horseradish, nutmeg, cloves, mint maybe, CBD drops may be a trigger,

When I first started #Veganism, I was 41, healthy and athletic. I did yoga daily. You might have called me "fit."
But I was freezing cold, even in summer sun, lost my period and went flat chested.
Something was wrong.
I was starving myself "for the animals."

I wore padding to disguise my totally flat chest.
My cheeks were hollow.
I covered cystic acne with makeup.
My hair fell out so I wore wigs.
I got collagen to fill my deep nasolabial folds.
So much denial.

I compared my body to fashion models, celebrities like Madonna or Sarah Jessica Parker. I didn't think I was too thin.

#Kiwifruit found effective in #constipation
1. Constipation is a common problem and drug treatments do not work in many.
In a recent trial, efficacy of kiwifruit was tested in patients with functional constipation (FC) & constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C)

2. Participants were randomly assigned to consume either two ripe green kiwifruit without the skins, or 7.5 g of #psyllium per day for 4 weeks.
Psyllium (OTC) is considered a first-line treatment for both the constipation conditions with which participants were diagnosed.

3. At the end of the 4-week treatment periods, the people with functional constipation who ate kiwifruit demonstrated an average increase of 1.53 bowel movements per week, a statistically significant increase.
Those with IBS-C demonstrated an increase of 1.73 bowel movements.

Any one of the typical #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis symptoms, turned up to an 8/10 intensity, would be difficult to live with after awhile. It would wear you down.

#SIBO is a disorder characterized by excessive colonization of the small intestine by organisms usually found in the colon, especially Gram-negative bacteria.

Pero, ¿cómo saber si estamos ante una alteración orgánica o funcional?
¡Dentro 🧵! 👇
El Síndrome de Intestino Irritable (#SII) se trata de una alteración del eje intestino-cerebro que implica que no existe una causa orgánica de base que justifique la sintomatología, por lo que su diagnóstico se establece en base a síntomas (criterios Roma IV).
Tiene una elevada prevalencia en la actualidad (cerca de un 10%, según últimos datos de la Rome Foundation), aunque conocer el dato real es complicado porque lejos de lo que pudiera parecer, dar con un diagnóstico fiable no es tan fácil como creemos.
