So it was a 24-year-old gentleman who came in to see me and was really struggling over the last year with his digestive system. He was having a lot of bloating and gas, pain in his stomach every time he ate. He was having diarrhea and sometimes he was getting constipated and He went to his traditional GI doctor, and they told him you have irritable bowel, but he wasn't getting any better, right?

And he was just really, because he was having so much stomach pain, he had lost some weight. So he wasn't, you know, he was on the thin side to begin with, but because he was having stomach pain when he ate, he wasn't able to eat as much, and he was even losing more weight. He was feeling really weak and tired, right? and sad, depressed, right?

And so for him, well, for everyone, the timeline is so important, right? That's what we learn in functional medicine is the gathering that information, learning about that individual patient's story, seeing their timeline.

So, you know, because, because for this gentleman, for example, you know, he really didn't have stomach pain before a year ago, but what we found out is that when he was a kid, he had ear infections. So, and he had asthma. Probably because he was eating dairy. Probably, right? So it's such a common connection. Oh my God.

I know.

I know.

I know.

And the kid was fine. That's such a common connection. I mean, even my son, when he started dairy, he got asthma and eczema. It's unfortunately such a common connection. So for this child, he had a lot of ear infections and eczema. And so he was on antibiotics about once or twice a year in his childhood. And he really didn't think that was very much.

He's like, that's not, you know, that wasn't too much. But, you know, it makes a huge impact on the microbiome as we're learning. And then he started to have acne as a teenager, maybe because of dairy more, right? Or some of the imbalances in the microbiome, right?
