-Connor alerted us yesterday of an article from ‘Spartan Avenue' that was titled, “Nebraska media spreading blatant lies about PatFitzgerald era at Michigan State,” and put our post from Monday with Sip saying that the crowd had “maybe 30,000 fans in the 2 nd half”and the juice in the stadium didn't seem very strong-After attacking the show for our take…the article then went on itself to criticize the fanbase for poor 2 nd half turnouts, which seemspretty hypocritical---does The Stool feel any need to go back on their stance or actually should they stand even firmer on it?Our Sponsors:* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Apply to Become a 1-on-1 Patient DianeKazer.com/PATIENT All Yeptide Resources DianeKazer.com/YEPTIDES Join Our Elite VIP Tribe DianeKazer.com/VIP This is Part 3 of our deep dive into what's REALLY happening with your hormones, and today, we're connecting ALL the dots. In Part 1, we exposed the world of xenoestrogens and environmental toxins and explored how endocrine-disrupting exposures may interfere with hormone signaling and potentially contribute to problems far beyond estrogen alone - from reproductive development and fertility to metabolic and hormone-related health concerns. Then we went deeper into low testosterone, changing hormones and what happens downstream when these systems get disrupted. But there's a much bigger question: How do you know what's actually happening inside YOUR body? Because I'm sick of this idea that we go to our doctor once a year, get a basic blood panel, hear "everything looks normal," and check the HEALTHY ✅ box for another 12 months. Or something is abnormal, we get a prescription to change the number...and somehow that's called "fixing the problem". Or a scan - an MRI, CT, mammogram or ultrasound—finds something unusual and we're told, "Let's just keep an eye on it." But what if that finding is your body waving a flag that something deeper is happening beneath the surface, below the tip of the iceberg? Your MD absolutely has a place on your healthcare team. But I believe you deserve another layer: an annual root-causation health investigation that doesn't stop at "Are you sick enough yet to diagnose?" I want to know: WHY is that marker changing? What is driving it? What are your hormones actually doing? What's happening in your gut? What are you being exposed to? And most importantly - are the things we're doing actually moving your health in the right direction? And that's exactly what we're showing you in Part 3.

In this episode, I'm talking about why so many of us default to blaming "my hormones" the second something feels off, and why that's often the wrong starting point. What we cover: Why symptoms alone can't tell the full story — and how dozens of symptoms usually trace back to just a few systems (digestive, endocrine, nervous, lymphatic) The most common "it's my hormones" symptoms: fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings/rage, low libido, sleep disruption, joint pain, temperature dysregulation, and more Why the same symptom (like weight gain or brain fog) can point to totally different root causes — estrogen/progesterone decline, HPA axis dysfunction, thyroid issues, blood sugar The difference between standard blood labs and comprehensive/functional labs — and why "normal" range isn't the same as "optimal" A breakdown of the tests I actually use in practice: Full thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, thyroid antibodies) — not just TSH HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis) — a ~3-month snapshot of mineral status and ratios (I share my own recent copper/zinc imbalance as an example) DUTCH test — dried urine testing for comprehensive sex hormones, cortisol rhythm, and neurotransmitters Stool testing — mapping the microbiome, pathogens, and gut integrity markers Why testing without a thorough intake (and a practitioner who can connect the dots) rarely gives you real answers Why you have to actually be willing to act on what the results tell you Let's dive in!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Dana: My 8 year old niece lives in a Northern state and gets very itchy, irritated skin in the heat and has since she was about 3. In the summers it is almost impossible for her to enjoy being outside because she gets heat rashes or eczema type reactions and gets so itchy. Her pediatricians just say she has sensitive skin and give steroid cream to help, tell her to stay indoors, and have no further advice. They have done skin allergy tests with none found. If it's connected at all, she and her dad both have constant sinus fullness and drippy nose. What could be causing symptoms like this? Is there anything she can try without testing first to keep costs low? Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral, after two years of fighting with myself and trying everything, I'm considering trying a GLP, very low dosage. I know you don't recommend this but for your patients that are taking a GLP 1 drug are there any specific supplements you recommend they take while on this drug? Of course, DNS, D, Mag, Fish Oil, probiotic but what about hair supplement, eye heath, Metavolve, or digestive enzymes? I hear one of the side effects is heart burn. Would really appreciate guidance here. I'm giving it my all until January but deciding. Thank you so much! Luis: Hi Dr. Cabral, I've been having consistently sticky stools that cling to the toilet. They don't always appear mucousy, and they usually sink. Online sources often attribute this to low fiber, but it happens even when I eat fiber-rich foods like sea moss. I drink plenty of water, and my urine is almost always clear. My stools feel sluggish moving through my intestines, so I take Mag07 every night. Nearly every time I eat, I develop GI pain, mostly in my upper abdomen/chest and almost right away, and I often notice undigested food in my stool, especially plant matter. I've only been diagnosed with functional dyspepsia and mild gastritis (via endoscopy). My doctor also ran a stool test in 2024, and it came back normal. I occasionally have pale stools, so I also take UDCA regularly. Help. Anonymous: Hi Doc! I've worked long and hard on my health with lots of improvements and disease reversal. I still have Hashimotos which has slowing been improving through lifestyle changes. A lingering issue besides the Hashimotos is vericose/spider veins. All the women in my family have them and I started getting them in my 20s. I'm 37 now and they're only getting worse. The veins themselves don't seem to hurt, but my legs ache at the end of every day. Heat, sitting, and standing for long periods make it worse. They're so unsightly and I'm horribly frustrated that I can't heal my poor circulation. I'm very active and always moving. Clean whole food Mediterranean diet. No alcohol or smoking. I have to elevate my legs or sit in cold water to get any relief. Is this related to thyroid disorders? S: Hi Dr. Cabral. Would love to hear your thoughts on the studies that have recently been discussed about risks of glucosamine with brain health and who should not take this supplement. Dementias often start long before symptoms show up. I believe the studies showing risk to brain health with glucosamine were done on people with issues already. But if decline starts before symptoms, how would you know if it is safe for an individual? What is the benefit risk trade off? Any concerns or things to consider for this supplement? Additionally, would this be contraindicated if there is a family history or genetic predisposition such as an APOE4genotype? Thanks for taking the time to answer so many of our questions.

Can acne start in the gut?In this episode of The Turd Nerds, we're joined once again by Dr. Megan Larravey for a fascinating case-based discussion exploring the connection between chronic acne, gut health, H. pylori, dysbiosis, and inflammation.We walk through the case of a woman in her 30s who developed persistent cystic acne despite eating a clean diet, using clean skincare products, exercising regularly, sleeping well, and trying many conventional and natural treatment approaches. With no obvious hormonal pattern and no significant digestive symptoms, her case challenged many of our assumptions about what drives chronic acne.What we found highlights the powerful relationship between the gut microbiome and skin health—and why some skin conditions may be rooted in underlying gastrointestinal dysfunction, even when the gut appears perfectly healthy.✔ Why acne isn't always a hormone problem✔ The surprising connection between H. pylori and chronic skin conditions✔ How dysbiosis can contribute to persistent acne✔ The role of biofilms in chronic inflammatory conditions✔ Why some patients with gut dysfunction have no GI symptoms✔ Pseudomonas, endotoxins, and systemic inflammation✔ Leaky gut and its impact on skin health✔ How we approach stubborn acne from a functional medicine perspective✔ Stool testing, organic acid testing, and evaluating the gut-skin axis✔ The role of probiotics, spore-based probiotics, and immunoglobulins✔ Biofilm disruptors and antimicrobial herbs✔ Why healing the gut often takes longer than people expect✔ The importance of fiber, fermented foods, and rebuilding microbiome resilienceAcne is often viewed as a skin condition, but for some patients it may be a manifestation of deeper immune, inflammatory, and microbiome imbalances. This episode explores why chronic acne can persist despite doing "all the right things" and how addressing gut dysfunction may be an important piece of the puzzle.Whether you're struggling with acne yourself or you're a clinician looking to better understand the gut-skin connection, this conversation offers a practical and thought-provoking look at how the microbiome influences skin health.Music provided by Blue Dot.
Hosts: Ed Jones (Owner – Nutrition World) & Clint Powell A variety of topics all related to living a healthy life Presented by: Nutrition World www.nutritionw.com Broadcasting from the Nooga Dentistry Studio www.noogadentistry.com Production of: Whitfield Media Group www.vitalhealthradio.com Title: Post-COVID Gut Health and Rethinking Blood Pressure Targets [0:04:24] – Nutrition World Health Fair & Upcoming Lectures Ed announces Nutrition World's Health Fair on October 24 (described as one of the biggest in the region). Emphasis on two “types of people”: learners vs. non‑learners; audience is framed as “learners.” Preview of free 30–40 minute lectures during the fair: Dave from Tonal Spine – energy systems and spinal health (non-traditional, beyond standard chiropractic). Laura Chastain – Optimize You – especially women's hormones; described as very skilled and experienced. Dr. Shalay (Chicago) – integrative healthcare, helping the body heal itself vs. “band-aid” approaches. Charles – Scenic City Neurotherapy – IV ketamine for: Chronic anxiety and depression PTSD Some applications in joint pain/arthritis (Ed notes his own experience for hip pain). Strong emphasis on root-cause medicine vs. symptom masking. [0:08:25] – Butter Wrappers & “Forever Chemicals” Ed raises a niche but practical topic: chemicals in butter wrappers. Refers to testing reported by Mammovation: Higher concern (more fluorine / “forever chemicals”): Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter Land O' Lakes salted butter Better / lower concern options: Kirkland (Costco) – lower levels Best butter wrappers listed: Whole Foods Market butter Horizon Kate's Salted Kirkland Organic Salted Butter Takeaway: Shop with knowledge; packaging/liners can be a hidden health variable. [0:12:50] – Nurse Practitioner Meredith Mason (Brio Functional Medicine) Introduction: Guest: Meredith Mason, NP, founder of Brio Functional Medicine (opened in 2018). Ed recalls having her on roughly seven years ago. COVID & long-COVID context: Meredith had two years of practice before COVID; she values that pre-COVID baseline. Notes a “triad” she sees repeatedly since COVID: Chronic fatigue Mast cell / high-histamine symptoms Digestive complaints / gut issues Clinic intake includes a 20-page questionnaire; many patients answer “When did you last feel well?” with: “2019” “Before I had COVID” “Before COVID vaccination” Meredith's personal health journey: At ~18–19, she had a mysterious illness with severe throat infection, ER visit, fatigue, and eventual chronic pain and fatigue. This pushed her toward integrative and root-cause medicine. COVID leading to apparent Epstein–Barr reactivation: After an infection in late 2021, she develops: Marked fatigue Mast-cell-type histamine issues Digestive symptoms Suspects Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation, not just mitochondrial dysfunction. Meredith's own approach: Used a Kasia Kines‑style nutritional protocol plus antivirals with a Florida physician. Her Early Antigen D normalized, with improved fatigue. EBV & herpesvirus family: Clarifies: Epstein–Barr is a herpesvirus, in the same family as: CMV (cytomegalovirus) HSV-1/HSV-2 Varicella (chickenpox) High-dose lysine known to slow replication of herpes viruses. [0:23:14] – H. pylori, Histamine Intolerance & Post-COVID Gut Changes Meredith's own mast-cell / histamine journey: Developed severe histamine symptoms post-COVID. Conventional H1 and H2 blockers (Claritin, Zyrtec, Pepcid/Famotidine) did not resolve issues. She also tried quercetin, luteolin, and evaluated genetics (DAO and HNMT) but didn't find a complete explanation. Turning to the gut: Ordered a GI-MAP functional stool test and found: Citrobacter freundii and Klebsiella pneumoniae – both high histamine‑producing bacteria. Hypothesis: COVID changes the gut microbiome (e.g., lowering beneficial Bifidobacteria), creating an environment for histamine‑producing species to overgrow. Widespread H. pylori findings: In recent stool tests, >90% of her patients are now positive for H. pylori. H. pylori: Is a mast-cell activator Classically associated with stomach ulcers, but also with pancreatic cancer Meredith notes a personal family loss to pancreatic cancer in someone with prior H. pylori. Testing approaches: Functional medicine: GI-MAP (DNA-based) often picks up H. pylori even when: Breath tests, Endoscopic biopsies, or Traditional antibody tests come back negative. Distinguishes: Blood antibodies – tell you if you've ever had H. pylori, not necessarily current infection. Stool antigen/DNA – better for current infection. When to treat: She monitors elastase-1 (pancreatic enzyme output) on stool testing: Low elastase suggests H. pylori may be impairing stomach acid and downstream digestion. Treatment approach: Main tool: Mastic gum (a Mediterranean shrub extract) twice daily. Sometimes bismuth/Pepto‑style support depending on symptoms. Ed notes he often feels better whenever he uses mastic gum and now wants to test himself for H. pylori. Secretory IgA & post-COVID gut immunity: She's seeing dramatic reductions in secretory IgA (sIgA) on stool results—even in people in their 20s. sIgA = the primary immune antibody at the gut lining. Her working view: COVID appears to suppress gut immune function, making people more vulnerable to pathogens like H. pylori and histamine-producing bacteria. Core goal at Brio: heal leaky gut, rebuild sIgA, and restore gut-driven immunity. Clinic details: Brio Functional Medicine (Lee Highway “wellness corner” next to Nutrition World). Offers in‑person and telemedicine consultations. Contact: briomedicine.com and info@briomedicine.com. [0:35:42] – Dr. Curt Dearing on Blood Pressure & Conventional Medicine Historical BP Targets & Over-Lowering Risks Dr. Curt Dearing outlines four major issues with conventional blood pressure management. Evolving guidelines: 1977 Joint National Committee (JNC): Acceptable up to 160/95; treatment mainly when diastolic ≥105. JNC 5 and 7: 140/90 becomes standard; 130/80 suggested for high-risk (diabetes, CKD). 2017 ACC/AHA: 130/80 becomes diagnostic threshold. Some now push for “optimal” ~110/70. Curt's view: For older adults, the vascular system changes; some rise in BP is normal and necessary. Aggressively pushing older patients into 110s/60s can be harmful. J-curve phenomenon: As BP is lowered, risk decreases until a threshold, after which lower BP increases risk again. Key data he cites: 2018 Lancet (1+ million patients): No increased mortality at 150/100. American Journal of Hypertension: All-cause mortality increases at ~110/70 range. Practical implication: Very low BP (especially diastolic

What can a GI-MAP stool test actually tell you about eczema and gut health?In this episode, Julia breaks down the GI-MAP test from an eczema perspective and walk through real patient cases to show you some of the gut findings she commonly sees in people dealing with eczema, hives, and other inflammatory skin conditions.We'll talk about gut bacteria, opportunistic microbes, H. pylori, beneficial bacteria, digestive function, immune markers, and more.Whether you've been considering a GI-MAP yourself or you're simply curious about the gut-skin connection, this episode will help you understand what these results can (and can't) tell you.⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice or a substitute for individualized care. Stool testing should be interpreted in the context of your symptoms and clinical history with a qualified healthcare professional.
For years, Anna was convinced she couldn't write without cocaine. Lisa was convinced she'd eventually write the Great American Novel from a bar stool. Neither plan worked out particularly well.This week, they talk about what it's like to create without drugs or alcohol, the myths artists tell themselves about substances and creativity, and why sober writing is infinitely better—even if it feels terrifying at first.There are stories about disastrous writing habits, terrible first drafts, writing classes, famous authors, the beeping computer that nearly drove Anna insane and the surprising realization that inspiration sticks around long after the drugs are gone.Plus: a spirited debate about neighbors who only want to chat when you're already late.
Dr. Shayne Morris didn't stumble into the microbiome world — he inherited it. Now CEO of both Systemic Formulas and Alimentum Labs, Shayne's grandfather started the company back in 1984 as a healer studying Eastern, Polynesian, and South American medicine, and Shayne spent his career turning that legacy into hard science: how nature actually produces healing, and why the microbes living in and on us — which outweigh every other living thing on the planet combined — do more biochemical work than our own 23,000 genes ever could. In this episode, we get into herbal genomics (Shayne coined the term "herbalomics" back when he realized compounds like turmeric were directly switching genes on and off), why methylated vitamins were considered fringe in 2007 when Systemic started using them, and the surprisingly recent science connecting fungal overgrowth to childhood ADHD and eczema. We also break down the Holobiome Roadmap — Systemic's five-stage system designed to make gut and cellular health personalized without handing a patient fourteen different bottles and no instructions — and why compliance, not complexity, is usually what determines whether a protocol actually works. Along the way: the real story behind why doctors started washing their hands between autopsies and deliveries, and details on Systemic's NextGen event in Ogden, Utah (September 18–20), where Freddie will be speaking on sales as a role of service.

As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski. It's July and a seven-year-old comes into your emergency department with 10 days of watery diarrhea. They were seen earlier in the week and told it was probably viral gastroenteritis. Maybe they got a prescription for ondansetron, maybe they didn't. Stool cultures have already come back negative. Mom tells you, “Every time I think he's finally getting better, the explosive diarrhea comes right back.” So what's going on? Today we're talking about Cyclospora. Honestly, it's one of those organisms that most of us forget about until summer rolls around, or since medical school. We don't diagnose it every week, and depending on where you practice, you may go years without seeing a case. But then an outbreak happens, and maybe just a handful of sporadic cases show up, and suddenly you're reminded that not every child with prolonged diarrhea has viral gastroenteritis. Cyclospora cayetanensis is a coccidian protozoan that's transmitted through contaminated food or water. In the United States, it's most commonly associated with imported fresh produce, things like cilantro, basil, lettuce, salad mixes, and berries. Unlike bacterial food poisoning, everyone at the picnic usually isn't sick, so it often presents as an isolated illness because the exposure happened days earlier and may have involved only one particular food item. Families are often trying to remember the one thing that they ate that made everybody sick. Honestly, sometimes it's simply the salad they bought at the grocery store a week ago. One thing that's helped me remember these organisms over the years is that they each sort of develop their own personality. You know, it's often confused with Giardia and Cryptosporidium. So if the diarrhea is greasy, think Giardia. If it's profuse, watery diarrhea after swimming, think Cryptosporidium. If it's prolonged, watery diarrhea during the summer, think Cyclospora. Now, obviously there are exceptions, but I think that's a pretty useful framework, especially when you're seeing patients one after another in a busy ED. One of my favorite pearls about Cyclospora, and I think it's probably the one fact that's most worth remembering because it explains how it sort of works. Unlike Giardia or Cryptosporidium, the oocysts that are passed in stool aren't immediately infectious. They actually have to spend days to weeks out in the environment before they mature enough to infect somebody else. So Cyclospora isn't really spread by the kids sitting next to them at daycare. It's spread by the salad they both ate last week. I think that's a lot easier to remember than trying to memorize the organism's life cycle. The incubation period averages about seven to 10 days, so by the time symptoms begin, families usually don't remember exactly what their kid ate. They're certainly not connecting today's diarrhea with the salad they had a week ago. The diarrhea itself is usually watery, sometimes pretty high volume, sometimes even explosive. One thing that's a little deceptive is that it tends to wax and wane. Parents will tell you, “Yesterday I thought we had finally turned the corner,” and today they're right back where they started. Along with the diarrhea, you'll often see abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, fatigue, maybe even a low-grade fever, and if this has been going on for a while, some weight loss or poor weight gain. Most of these kids don't walk in looking critically ill. They walk in because they're still having diarrhea when everyone expected them to be over it. That's really the patient where Cyclospora should come to mind. And of course, not every child with prolonged diarrhea has it. Giardia is still incredibly common, especially after untreated water exposure, camping, or daycare. Again, those kids have greasy, foul-smelling stools with bloating and flatulence. Cryptosporidium is the swimming pool organism. Those oocysts are remarkably resistant to chlorine, so swimming pools, splash pads, and water parks should all get your attention. Those patients usually have profuse watery diarrhea, but in otherwise healthy children, it tends to run its course over a couple weeks. Cyclospora is different because it just hangs around. That's really what makes me think about it. It's not necessarily how sick the kid is, it's that they're still sick when they should actually be getting better. So aside from when you're in the middle of an outbreak, when should you actually suspect it? It's really when a few things start lining up. The diarrhea has lasted more than a week. Maybe it got a little better and then came back. The kid has lost some weight or looks a little dehydrated. It's summertime. The bacterial stool studies are negative. Maybe there's a history of travel. Maybe there isn't. Maybe there's a history of eating fresh produce. Maybe there isn't. At some point, you have to stop saying, “Eh, it's probably still viral,” and start asking yourself whether you're dealing with something else. One teaching point that's worth repeating, partly because it shows up on board exams and partly because it explains the epidemiology, is that Cyclospora isn't spread directly from person to person. Fresh stool isn't immediately infectious because those oocysts still have to sporulate in the environment before they can infect the next person. So let's say you're thinking about Cyclospora. What do you actually order? A routine stool culture isn't gonna help you. Even a routine ova and parasite examination may not be enough. That's an easy mistake to make because a lot of us were taught persistent diarrhea, send culture and O&P or a stool molecular pathogen panel. Many labs don't specifically look for Cyclospora unless you ask them to or order it specifically. So there's gastrointestinal PCRs for it, but you have to order them separately. So you can actually get back a negative O&P and feel reassured when in reality no one's really tested for Cyclospora. If your hospital has a multiplex GI PCR panel that includes it, that's probably what you should order first. If you don't, you probably have to order it separately. Another board pearl. So if you're taking a board exam and they describe a child with prolonged watery diarrhea during the summer, maybe after eating fresh produce, and then they casually mention that the routine ova and parasite examination was negative, don't let that throw you off. That's actually the clue. The organism may still be there, the lab just wasn't sent to look for it. If your lab is using microscopy, Cyclospora can be identified with a modified acid-fast stain. The oocysts are a little larger than Cryptosporidium, and one interesting feature is that they stain variably. Some stain bright red, while others hardly stain at all, giving them that classic ghost organism appearance, which I think is just, like, cool. And because oocyst shedding is intermittent, collecting two or three stool specimens over several days can improve the diagnostic yield if you still have a high index of suspicion. The good news is that once you make the diagnosis, treatment is actually pretty straightforward. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole remains the treatment of choice. In adult-sized patients, that means trimethoprim one hundred and sixty milligrams plus sulfamethoxazole eight hundred milligrams, just one double-strength tablet, orally twice a day for seven to ten days. For kids greater than two months of age to eighteen years, it's eight to ten milligrams per kilogram trimethoprim and forty to fifty milligrams per kilogram sulfamethoxazole per day orally in two divided doses for seven to ten days. Most children begin feeling noticeably better within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Honestly, this can be a pretty satisfying infection to treat because families have often been searching for an answer for a week or two. They've been told it's viral. They've been waiting for it to improve, and then you finally make the diagnosis within a day or two of starting the right antimicrobial, the kid's turning the corner. If the kid has a true sulfonamide allergy, things are a little more complicated, and I mean a true allergy, not just the parent who says, “Well, my mother was allergic to sulfa, so we've always avoided it.” There really isn't a perfect alternative. At this point, I'm probably talking to ID. Nitazoxanide's been used, ciprofloxacin's been used, but we generally try to avoid fluoroquinolones in children. Neither has been shown to work as well as trim-sulfa. And if you've got somebody who's immunocompromised with Cyclospora, which fortunately I've never seen, I'd be calling ID. Of course, don't forget everything else that goes along with taking care of prolonged diarrhea. Oral rehydration is still the goal whenever possible. Some kids are gonna need IV fluids because by the time they get to you, they've been losing fluid for days. Replace electrolytes if they've been really sick. And if the illness has dragged on for a couple of weeks, don't forget the nutritional burden. Sometimes they've lost enough weight that getting them eating and drinking normally again becomes part of an ongoing treatment plan. The good news is that most otherwise healthy children recover completely. Immunocompromised patients are the group that worries us the most. Their symptoms can become prolonged. They can relapse. Sometimes they require longer admissions or even secondary prophylaxis. One question that occasionally comes up is whether you need to repeat stool testing after treatment. In general, you don't. If the kid's symptoms have resolved, then you don't need to prove microbiologic cure. Treat the patient, not the PCR. If the kid feels better, you don't need to prove that the pathogen is gone. So let's get back to that hypothetical scenario we started with, that kid in July that's had watery diarrhea for 10 days. The stool culture was negative. They're starting to lose weight. The parents are frustrated. Everyone keeps telling them it's a virus. Maybe it is another virus. Maybe it's two illnesses in a row. But this is the patient where you have to take a step back and consider just one more test instead of offering more reassurance. That's what Cyclospora is. Of course, you shouldn't suspect it in every single child with prolonged diarrhea, but be aware of whether or not there's an outbreak and test for it. Before wrapping this episode up, here's a few more things I'd like you to remember. One, if watery diarrhea has lasted more than a week, especially during the summer months, make sure Cyclospora is somewhere on your differential. Second, remember my comparison. Greasy diarrhea, think Giardia. Swimming pool exposure and profuse watery diarrhea, think Cryptosporidium. Prolonged watery diarrhea during the summer, think Cyclospora. Third, don't let a negative routine ova and parasite examination or stool molecular pathogen panel falsely reassure you. Make sure your laboratory is actually testing for Cyclospora, and remember that not every GI PCR panel includes it. Finally, once you make the diagnosis, treatment is pretty straightforward. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for most patients. Kids will start feeling better in 24 to 48 hours. Cyclospora isn't the first diagnosis that comes to mind when a kid has diarrhea, and it shouldn't be. Viral gastro is still far more common. But when the diarrhea has been going on for 10 days, the stool studies are negative, the kid's starting to lose weight, and the family says, “I thought we were finally getting better,” that's when you have to stop and think about Cyclospora. It's the child with the diarrhea that lingered. If you enjoyed this episode, as the kids would say, like, rate, and review. Leaving that review on your favorite podcast platform really does help other people discover the show, and I've been fortunate to be teaching through this podcast since 2013 because of listeners like you.

Send us Fan MailA ninth inning ballpark burger. Days of relentless diarrhea. Then blood. John Capodilupo's ulcerative colitis diagnosis didn't arrive slowly, it hit like a truck, and it sent him into a crash course on what living with IBD really demands. We talk through the early fear and uncertainty, the 28-day hospitalization, and the chaos of juggling treatment while also battling infections like C. difficile and CMV colitis. John also shares his experience with fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) for recurrent C. diff and why the microbiome still feels like one of the biggest unsolved stories in gut health.From there, we connect the dots between health data and better decisions. John helped build Whoop, the wearable built around continuous physiological tracking like heart rate variability and sleep, and he explains what longitudinal data can reveal about stress, recovery, and early warning signs. We dig into how sleep disruption and subtle body signals can show up before you're sure whether you're flaring or just paying the price for Taco Bell.Then we get into Throne, the smart toilet monitoring system John now co-leads as Chief Product Officer. Throne clips onto the toilet and uses computer vision and sensors to track stool and urine trends passively, aiming to reduce guesswork, improve symptom recall, and open the door to research like flare prediction, medication durability, and future screening signals such as blood detection for colon cancer. We also cover the “real life” questions: multi-user households, cleaning, cost, and a privacy approach built around de-identified data and opt-in research.If you're curious about ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, IBD tracking, gut health technology, or the future of smart toilets, listen now then subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review.Links: Throne's websiteFun article about the founding of ThroneBuy Throne for $50 off! or use code ListenToYourGutLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!
