Tongue-to-Bum Part 6: Intestinal Immune System – Your Personal Secret Service
In previous blogs we saw our adventurous journey taking us from perceiving food and drink in our minds eye, mindful eating (part 1, part 2), chewing our food in the mouth (part 3), swallowing it to enter the stomach ( part 4 ). In the last blog we saw the chyme entering the small intestine is

Tongue-to-Bum Part 5: Small Intestine – Grand Central Station of Digestion
As we continue on our adventurous journey through the digestive tract, we remember the first four (4) sections: preparing for the journey, entering the mouth to get on the subway, being swallowed on our descent into the amusement park ride of the Stomach.

Tongue-to-Bum Part 4: The Stomach – Gastric Food Processor
When most people think of digestion, they immediately think of the stomach. When a patient comes in and says they have a stomachache and I ask where, they usually point to their lower abdomen.

Fermentation Part 6: Kim chi
Kimchi is very important to the Korean diet. Unlike sauerkraut or those bread and butter pickle slices that you may or may not eat next to your sandwich, Kimchi is unquestionably a part of a Korean meal— it’s non‐negotiable.

Fermentation part 5: Yes, Your Microbiome can be Changed Dramatically Even After Childhood
