  • Colon Cancer Misdiagnosis: Gluten Allergy Confusion
    Dr. Boxer notes that colon cancer and Celiac disease share symptoms like diarrhea and anemia. "Celiac symptoms improve with a gluten-free diet, but colon cancer symptoms persist." Misdiagnosis can occur due to these overlaps. While gluten doesn't directly increase colon cancer risk, unmanaged Celiac disease may heighten gastrointestinal cancer risks due to chronic inflammation.
  • Prioritize Health: Colorectal Screenings Over Chores
    Dr. Boxer highlights that colorectal cancer is preventable with early detection through screenings. He urges Americans to prioritize health over chores, as screenings can catch and remove precancerous polyps. Overcome embarrassment by viewing screenings as an investment in health. “No chore is more important than your life,” he advises.
  • Understanding Ulcerative Colitis: Skin Issues and Management
    Dr. Boxer highlights that skin issues like erythema nodosum affect many with ulcerative colitis. These arise from "chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, and medication side effects." Prevention includes maintaining UC remission, a nutrient-rich diet, and stress management. Treatments range from steroids to lifestyle changes, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive care for managing these conditions.
