Talking to Dr. Will B. @theguthealthmd ,author of Fiber Fueled, on his new cookbook the Fiber Fueled Cookbook. This new cookbook can help anyone whether you are suffering from disease or are healthy. It is backed with science and has recipes to go along with them. It's a one of a kind cookbook and I'm so happy to share it with my community.

The last several weeks have been very hard. My dad passed away on May 6. He was such a great dad. He lived until he was 85 years old. We all thought he had many years left. Unfortunately, he was taken away from us too soon.

My father, Dr. King Yee Yu was a family medicine physician practicing in southern California. He had his own private practice he built from scratch and was working until the day he had to be hospitalized. Unfortunately, he had complications from surgery for his heart. My father was still going to work and seeing patients up until the day of his surgery. He loved his job and didn't want to retire. He loved serving his community and his patients have expressed that they loved him also. He was a doctor for multiple generations of the same family, being a doctor for some families for over 30 years.

I didn't realize how much his patients loved him until I saw how devastated they were of the news of his passing as i was helping clean his office.

He was humble, generous, and a simple man. At his age, he was still able to drive 4 hours to Las Vegas from southern California. We all thought he had many more years left but God had other plans. I wouldn't be where I am without him and his generosity. I love you dad. Your memory will live on with me and my future endeavors.

Sarcoidosis is characterized by the formation of granulomas on various organs, but it is mostly seen in the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. The cause of sarcoidosis is unknown, but it is thought that genetic and environmental factors contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders. Females are twice more likely to be diagnosed with sarcoidosis than men, and those who are middle-aged have a higher risk of this illness. The incidence of sarcoidosis varies between different ethnic groups. Incidence was the highest among African Americans (17-35 per 100,000 population), followed by Caucasians (5-12 per 100,000 population), and the lowest incidence was found among Asians and Hispanics (1-3 per 100,000 population).

Eggplants, white potatoes, bell peppers, red peppers, and tomatoes belong to the nightshade family. Nightshade vegetables contain a compound called solanine, which helps protect the plant. Some people may find that they are sensitive to these vegetables and may have more autoimmune disease activity. The evidence is very weak right now in regards to this. Most people can tolerate these vegetables without any problem.

If you think you have a problem with them, you can certainly try cutting them out and keeping a food diary to see if you truly are sensitive to them. Just because the scientific evidence is very weak right now doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist for some individuals. There will be more papers explaining why some patients have more flares with nightshades in due time.

I have seen in my own patients their own problems with nightshades, and I also have patients who are in remission eating them as well. It is important to keep these in your diet if you don't have any problems. Food expansion is better than food restriction if there is no problem with these plants. I, myself, like all of these vegetables and have no problems with them. Do you have a problem with nightshades? 🍆🥔🫑🍅🌶️

Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic, autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system attacks the glands that produce moisture in the eyes and mouth. There are two forms of Sjogren’s syndrome. The primary form of this illness develops on its own, and the secondary form develops due to pre-existing autoimmune conditions (ex: rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis). Sjogren’s syndrome is characterized by severe dryness in the eyes and mouth, but other symptoms can also arise and affect other parts of the body. It can cause fatigue, pain in the joints and muscles, and cause damage in the lungs, kidneys, and nervous system. This disease can affect individuals of all ages, but it is most commonly seen in middle-aged women.

It is IBS Awareness Month! Did you know that 25 to 45 million people suffer from IBS in the United States? About 2 in 3 people diagnosed with IBS are women. IBS affects many different patients with other chronic illnesses as well. Usually, a GI specialist can help with IBS. Sometimes IBS can be misdiagnosed, and the symptoms can be from other diseases such as SIBO, celiac disease, or other GI problems.

April is Sarcoidosis Awareness Month! Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory illness that causes the formation of granulomas on various organs. Granulomas are cells that clump together at the site of infection or inflammation to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the body. It is difficult to diagnose this disease as practically any organ in the body can be affected by sarcoidosis. Still, the most commonly affected organs are the lungs and intrathoracic lymph nodes. There is also a wide range of symptoms that patients can experience, depending on which organ has been affected. Sarcoidosis is one of the more challenging diagnoses in rheumatology because we do not have many lab markers for it and it is a diagnosis based on biopsy. The disease can mimic other autoimmune conditions making it much more challenging. Do you know someone with sarcoidosis?
