MCAS-Safe Sweet Potato Gut Healing Soup with Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric
Sweet potato provides beta-carotene and soluble fiber to support intestinal mucosa repair while reducing inflammatory IL-6 cytokines. Turmeric's curcumin inhibits NF-ฮบB activation and mast cell degranulation, while fresh ginger delivers gingerol compounds that enhance DAO enzyme activity and promote gut barrier integrity.
