When a baby is drooling, chewing, cranky, and filling diapers at the same time, it’s easy to blame the new tooth. The timing can feel convincing. Many babies start teething during the same months they put toys, fingers, bibs, and […]

Colitis can be linked to hair shedding through flares, low iron, poor nutrient intake, weight loss, and some IBD medicines. Finding extra hair in the shower can feel rattling when your gut is already acting up. The short answer is that colitis itself does not usually attack hair follicles directly.

It can set up the ear for trouble. During flu, the nose and throat swell, mucus thickens, and the eustachian tubes can

Yes, concentrated turmeric or curcumin pills have been tied to rare liver injury, often with high-absorption formulas. Turmeric in food is not the same as a turmeric capsule. A spoonful of the spice in soup, rice, eggs, or tea gives a small culinary dose. A supplement can deliver a concentrated curcumin extract, taken daily, sometimes
