Regardless, it would seem helpful to consider probiotic supplementation (kefirs or supplements) and healthy foods that may not be in high abundance in late teens, who served as the sample. This likely means fiber and nutrient-dense foods were not eaten, meaning these gut bacteria colonies don’t have what they need to recover.
Additionally, consider purified water sources and reducing the use of older Teflon-type pans, as other options. Catalytic carbon, followed by activated carbon, can sequester PFAS, and other filter types like ion exchange and reverse osmosis can also help.
Some city water has been found to have PFAS. I will provide information with a link, next.

For all that is holy.
DUDE: Avoidance is key.
For those reading this:
It is stated that PFAS are no longer used in food packaging
But who are you going to trust?
https://www.food-safety.com/articles/9574-pfas-in-packaging-what-the-food-industry-needs-to-know
And is your prior exposure cumulative, or reversible?
But the point is: Eff the kefir. Avoid the toxins.
And by the way, ditch the ‘non-stick’ pans altogether.
If you don’t know how to cook in a metal pan with non-toxic oils, you shouldn’t be cooking.
Never much cares for PEAS
Not PFAS. Vexxationation.
A ‘study’ based on data association with a minuscule cohort , no control group, thousand of confounding factors and insignificant risk factor is not a study, it’s junk science like all modern epidemioly.
Pfas are inert, the very reason why they are called ‘eternal chemicals’ (about the only thing the fear mongerers have it right) and are found in concentrations of ppb (one drop per olympic size pool).
They are no less safe than glasswares (lead) or metal ustensils (copper or alloys toxicity) or bisphenol (banned for zero scientific reason).
The constant ‘chemicals” hysteria is a ridiculous and stupid modern superstition, alongside the climate hysteria.
Enough with the greenies nonsense.
Guess what also does it, from 2 years ago...
Persistent Damage to the Gut Microbiome Following Messenger RNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine
What a coinkydink.
PFAS is just the latest in a long line of chemical compounds that environmentalist whackos have used to unnecessarily scare the public.
First, they stop teaching basic science in schools. Then they feed you just enough information to frighten you but without any context or any attempt to anchor their claims to legitimate scientific inquiry.
Then they demand that everything be banned, regardless of level of risk involved.
In the case of PFAS, the dangerous ones have already been removed from commerce, and overall PFAS use is in steep decline.
But if the whackos get their way, they’d have us adopt the UN definition of PFAS - one fully fluorinated carbon atom - and if that comes to pass many pharmaceuticals will come under this definition. That is not good, folks.
Stop accepting this (bad word that has something to do with cows)at face value.
I wonder how much of that crap was in those masks we had to wear during Covid?
