Dr. Shubham Vatsya, a gastroenterologist at ISIC Multispeciality Hospital in Delhi, has taken to social media to debunk six common myths surrounding gut health. He clarifies that drinking lemon water does not detoxify the body, as natural detoxification is handled by the liver and kidneys. Additionally, he explains that having a daily bowel movement is not essential for everyone, as individual patterns vary. Contrary to popular belief, drinking water during meals does not disrupt digestion; instead, overeating is more harmful. The myth that spicy foods cause ulcers is also addressed, with Dr. Vatsya stating that ulcers are primarily caused by H. pylori and certain medications. He further dismisses concerns about eating curd at night, asserting it is safe. Lastly, he highlights that fatty liver disease can also occur without alcohol consumption, often linked to diabetes and obesity, which is increasingly prevalent in India.
