Meat as medicine for hidradenitis suppurativa
A patient’s self-directed move to a meat-based diet for IBS symptoms has unintended effects on her recurrent axillary abscesses
June, a 40-year-old public servant, presents as a new patient for a checkup.
Her main concern is that she has been eating an almost carnivore diet for at least a year.
While she feels well, she’d like to know that her food choices are not harming her health.
June has a background of IBS, for which she had a colonoscopy many years ago. At that time, mild chronic inflammation was noted.
