Ulcerative colitis flare-ups might finally make sense! Scientists found it’s not just your gut bacteria or your genes causing chaos in your colon—it’s the way they interact. If you’ve got a certain gene variant, your immune system can go haywire when it meets specific gut bugs, leading to pain and inflammation. This could explain why treatments work for some but not others, and opens the door to more personalized therapies. Wild, right? #Health #BodyHealth #GutHealth
