If you want to prevent colon cancer, start by preventing colon polyps—here are 3 things that actually work

03/24/2026

As a gastroenterologist, here are 3 things I don’t do when it comes to gut health 👇

1️⃣ I don’t ignore symptoms my body keeps repeating — your gut whispers before it screams
2️⃣ I don’t overuse antibiotics — they can disrupt your microbiome more than you think
3️⃣ I don’t rely on quick fixes like supplements

Your gut health isn’t random. It’s responsive.

The most dangerous thing about a colonoscopy?
Not getting it done.

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death—but it’s also one of the most preventable.
Why? Because we can find and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.

And if colon cancer is caught early, it’s highly treatable—even curable.

A 20–30 minute test could literally save your life. Don’t wait for symptoms.

Before you panic about your p**p 🚽
Beets, leafy greens, blueberries, and even iron can change stool color—and it’s usually harmless.

But not everything is food-related.
⚠️ Black tarry stools, unexplained red stools, or pale/white stools deserve a medical check.

Context matters. Timing matters. And when in doubt—ask a GI.

✈️ Travel constipation is common—and preventable
Consistency > perfection
Hydration, fiber you tolerate, movement, and timing matter
Save this before your next trip 🧳💩

If dairy doesn’t love you back, it’s not all or nothing.
✔️ Goat & sheep dairy = lower lactose + different proteins
✔️ Hard, aged cheeses = fermented + minimal lactose

My choice: I personally reach for sheep or goat cheeses, especially aged options, because they’re easier to digest and still nutrient-dense.

Dairy is optional—not required—for a healthy gut. Listen to your body.

Fermented drinks can support gut health — but the best choice is the one your gut tolerates.

🫖 Kombucha:

Higher organic acids and microbial byproducts — great for some, too acidic or histamine-triggering for others.

🍯 Jun:

Fermented with green tea and honey. Typically milder, lower acidity, and often better tolerated by sensitive guts.

🍍 Tepache:

Pineapple-based ferment with naturally occurring enzymes and polyphenols. Less acidic, lighter fermentation, and refreshing.

👉 Which would I choose?

Jun or tepache for most people — especially if you deal with bloating, reflux, or histamine sensitivity.

Start with small amounts (2–4 oz), have it with food, and pay attention to how your gut responds.

If you have IBS and feel like you’ve tried everything—antispasmodics, fiber, diets, supplements—and you’re still symptomatic, you’re not alone.

Gut-directed hypnotherapy is an evidence-based treatment for IBS that targets the gut–brain axis.
It helps reduce pain sensitivity, calm stress signaling to the gut, and improve bowel symptoms—often with long-lasting results, even after treatment ends.

This isn’t “all in your head.”
It’s about retraining how the brain and gut communicate.

If your workup is normal but your symptoms persist, this is absolutely worth discussing with your gastroenterologist.

Your gut doesn’t need a detox after the holidays.
It needs fiber, real food, and consistency.

Detox teas and cleanses don’t “reset” your gut — they disrupt your microbiome and often make bloating and constipation worse.

A real gut reset =
✔️ Fiber-rich plants
✔️ Polyphenols (berries, olive oil, herbs)
✔️ Fermented foods
✔️ Hydration + regular meals

Feed your microbes. Don’t punish your gut.

Save this before buying a cleanse.
