Could hidden fungus or mold exposure be driving recurring gut symptoms? In this episode, Dr. Scott Spiridigliozzi interviews Dr. Pejman Katiraei about a novel "backdoor" mechanism through which inhaled fungal toxins may reach the gut through the bloodstream, disrupt the microbiome, increase intestinal permeability, and contribute to persistent symptoms such as bloating, food reactions, fatigue, brain fog, and anxiety.
They also discuss how to identify possible fungal or environmental triggers and the practical steps that may help restore gut health and reduce symptoms.
