Re: Nicotine and gut permeability: the smoking/PSC link clarified?

[Guest guest]

Sorry Marie ... I can appreciate how frustrating it must be to hear

about studies suggesting " links " which don't match your own personal

experience. Perhaps the smoking/nicotine " link " is just one of

several factors involved? I just wish I could find all these missing

links!

Take care, and good luck with your nicotine gum weaning. I shall be

hoping that this goes well for you.

Best regards,

Dave

> Nicotine hasn't protected me from PSC or UC. I've been a smoker for

a long time (decades). For about 7 years now I've been chewing

nicorette gum instead of smoking, and it's during that time that the

PSC has reared its ugly head. I'm weaning myself off the gum now

(for financial reasons - the gum is very expensive). I'll let you

know if the PSC gets worse. -Marie
