What is the podcast referred to? Angela ___? Thank you!

[@Kitzandbitz]

Has any research by done on a possible link with Vitiligo and SIBO or other gut conditions. I was told that Vitiligo is an auto immune condition.

[@cpg8000]

Great question! Both emerged around the same time for me. Ugh. You too?

[@Kitzandbitz]

I don’t have SEBO but I have Vitiligo and IBS I can see a direct link with the gut biome diversity and how an over responsive immune system could cause dysbiosis. Are you in the USA?

[@cpg8000]

@@Kitzandbitz I’m on the USA, yes. I’ve come to understand that IBS is really just a description of a cluster of symptoms, and not really a disease process. SIBO and SIFO underly my bowel issues, and I also see issues with dysbiosis, vitiligo, and have recently been diagnosed with a pancreas issue (EPI) that I was told caused all of my issues. So apparently that’s my theoretical root cause as we know it.
