I’ll post tomorrow, not at bottles right now
Hmmm.
I had horrible IBS from 15 (caused by a personal event) until my early 30s.
Then it went away.
But I was still a nervous wreck :)
Still ate awfully.
No new medication or treatment
I will never know why it just “went away”.
I’m glad you got better.
I’ve had bottom issues since just before covid, so some 4 1/2 years now
GI doctor is useless
Colonoscopy showed nothing but diverticulistis
Had an abscess a month ago and stayed in hospital for 3 days.
Antibiotic did the infection in.
But the underlying pains still persist.
I feel I am being ‘blown off’ when they tell me to see a “Pain Management” specialist
Anybody got any clues
This is by far the most reckless article/study summary by med xpress I’ve read to date.
Amen! As a retired biophysicist/cardiovascular physiologist, I find my curmudgeon degree is supplanting the academic MSs and PhD.
Stupid ‘effing title. Medical Press might better have said “Gut reaction: Inadequate levels of manganese can aggravate inflammatory bowel disease” Otherwise, one might have assumed that a diet was exceeding a toxic concentration threshold, etc.
The Nature article was only a little more direct. The authors might have explicitly said in the discussion section what they alluded to in their Figure 9:
“Fig. 9 | Mn deficiency upregulates Acer1 expression and treatment with ACER1 inhibitor D-e-MAPP confers protection against colitis in Mn-deficient mice.”
As long as I’m on a rant - I think today I’d show about 1/3 of PhD and post-doc students to the door. Preparation and performance being inadequate.
Maybe Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?Just a thought.
Thanks. I didn't think I was in left field.
Ohhh, the irony:

Due to my medicare OTC benefit forcing me to CVS ...
CVS Helath Triple Stenth Gluco/Chondr with MSM 120 tablets
and
CVS Health Calcium Citrate + D3
650 mg
do not take Catrical
Your glucosamine tablets have 2 mg of manganese a serving.
That is worth knowing, and I can pass that onto a relative.
Thank you!
I have images of the labeling but no idea how to post here
2 mg says 87%
The Cal one says 52% 1.15 mg per
I’ve look at my blood work from the past and no place do I see where they every test for Manganese.
I will force this test next sample, in two weeks.
I say do not take Citrical cause it gave me a kidney stone a decade ago.
There is a good and bad on the Calcium supplements
That will be a trace mineral that is not normally tested.
If you get the between 2-3 mg a day, I’d say you are fine.
Unfortunately, the amount my wife and I got from foods and supplements was not meeting that, many days each week.
We now get 5 mg a day, net, in a supplement.
