On my previous post I mentioned an article where a doctor in china is curing refractory IBD patients with fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) as an additional benefit their skin lesions also improved. Go read it, it’s very interesting.

That’s very common in all types of infections such as C.diff, typhoid and so on. It’s thought of as a result of toxins accumulating near the skin area. Since PATM is thought of as a type infection from one or more strains in the gut, it’s no surprise if any of us develop these symptoms. Many severe diseases just don’t cause leaky gut, they actually go a little further by piercing holes in the gut and cause unbelievable pain or death.
Ulcer was thought of as a result of too much acid, food and drug intake but recent findings showed that 80%-90% are caused by the E. coli bacteria. It makes sense because why would someone develop gut sores that never heal. What they’ve found out is that E. coli pore deep into the stomach wall removing the mucous layer and acid and other food help eat away a bigger area within the gut wall.
So the question now is why would we develop leaky gut in the first place and never heal? Supposedly, the gut is like the tongue; it should heal very fast without intervention. If you accidently bite your tongue in the evening, you wake up the next morning it’s all gone. Our gut should behave the same way. Therefore, my opinion, the only explanation for this continuous leaky gut, something is keeping it that way. It could be one or more gut microbes.
it seems to me that its name more recognized by the medicine is mucoid plaque or biofilm. I've been a little over a year and I can not finish.
When i started with patm, at the same time with fordyce spots. These Are similary to keratosis pilares. Who else ??
I do have a mild form, but I've had it for at least 15 years if I remember correctly. It could be a precursor/warning sign.
