Vaping vs Smoking: What’s Better for Gut Health? | Crohn’s Disease Doctor in Dubai

Описание: Is vaping safe for your gut?
As a UK-trained Consultant Gastroenterologist now practising in Dubai, I’m asked this every week especially by patients with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis (UC), and chronic gut inflammation.
Yes, vaping is better than smoking, especially for the lungs.
But new laboratory and animal research is showing something important:
vaping chemicals can weaken the gut lining, reduce tight junction strength, and make the intestine more prone to irritation and inflammation.

In this video, I explain:
• How vaping chemicals travel from the lungs → bloodstream → gut lining
• Why the gut barrier can become weaker and leakier
• What this means for Crohn’s disease control
• Harm-reduction steps for anyone trying to quit smoking
• Why completely stopping both smoking and vaping is best for long-term gut health

This information is especially useful if you are living with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, bloating, gut sensitivity, or leaky gut, and you want evidence-based guidance from a specialist.

I’ve spent more than 25 years managing IBD and complex gut conditions across London and Dubai, and this is the same advice I give my own patients.

If this video helps you, please share it with someone who vapes or is trying to quit — it may genuinely help their gut health.
