For thousands of years, bread has been essential to human nutrition — a dietary staple enjoyed daily across countless cultures, likely because flour could be stored year-round, ensuring a reliable food source during times of scarcity.

In fact, our ancestors ate bread in quantities that would surprise many modern eaters. According to household guides from the 1880s, the average adult man was expected to consume a remarkable 16 pounds of bread per week, while women consumed about 8 pounds weekly. That’s over a pound of bread a day!

Today, bread has a very different reputation. Once considered a fundamental food, it’s now often avoided and can cause various health problems — from bloating and brain fog to more serious conditions like celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. But what changed? Is bread itself the problem, or is there more to this story?

As a Note: I am not writing this article to convince you to eat bread. Instead, I write this in hopes to reduce food fear in this (sometimes toxic) modern health space. It is a lot more empowering to better understand the WHY behind certain things, instead of arbitrarily labeling food as BAD or GOOD.

The Ancient Relationship Between Humans and Bread

Our love affair with bread is ancient — dating back thousands of years when early civilizations first ground wild grains and mixed them with water to create rudimentary flatbreads. Bread is deeply embedded in sacred texts, rituals, and traditions, symbolizing sustenance, community, and faith across cultures.

The Egyptians, for example, played a pivotal role in the evolution of bread-making around 5,000 years ago, likely discovering leavened bread through wild yeasts fermenting dough left exposed to the elements. This discovery revolutionized human nutrition and led to sourdough fermentation becoming the dominant bread-making method across cultures.

Unlike modern methods, traditional bread-making wasn’t focused on speed or shelf-life — it prioritized nutrition, digestibility, and flavor through time-tested techniques.

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris), a humble yet powerful herb, has been a cornerstone of culinary, medicinal and cultural traditions for millennia.

Native to Eurasia and North Africa, this aromatic member of the mint family has transcended its origins to become a global staple. With its rich history, potent phytonutrients and versatile applications, thyme is more than just a kitchen herb — it’s a wellness powerhouse.

Thyme has been used for thousands of years by various cultures, from ancient Egyptian embalming practices to Greek and Roman rituals. It symbolized courage in the Middle Ages and was used medicinally for respiratory and digestive issues. Today, it is cultivated globally, with major producers including Spain, France and Morocco.

Thyme is rich in bioactive compounds like thymol, carvacrol and flavonoids, which provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It supports respiratory health, boosts immunity, aids digestion, reduces oxidative stress and promotes skin health.

Beyond its culinary uses, thyme can be consumed as tea, used in tinctures, essential oils or poultices, applied topically for skin conditions or inhaled for respiratory relief. Its adaptability makes it a valuable herb for flavoring foods and healing the body.

Thyme’s earthy, slightly minty, peppery flavor can enhance a wide range of dishes, from roasted meats and soups to infused oils and cocktails. Its versatility makes it a staple in kitchens worldwide.

Thyme has unique cultural associations, such as being linked to fairies in the Victorian era and used in perfumery and battlefield antiseptics. Thyme honey is prized for its flavor and medicinal properties, and the herb’s name originates from the Greek word meaning “to fumigate.”

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), subdivided into ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, afflicts 1.4 million Americans and typically first appears between the ages of 15 and 30. Whereas ulcerative colitis affects the rectum and spreading upwards toward the descending and transverse colon in an uninterrupted fashion, Crohn’s disease typically involves the last third of the small intestine and colon and can affect any part of the digestive tract, often in a discontinuous pattern.

In ulcerative colitis, inflammation is generally limited to the mucous membrane.

In Crohn’s disease, inflammation can navigate down the entire depth of the intestinal wall. Due to this disparity, Crohn’s disease can ulcerate through the layers of the bowel, leading to complications such scarring of tissue that leads to perforations, as well as intestinal granulomas (the body’s way of: containing a bacterial, viral or fungal infection, to keep it from spreading; when immune cells clump together and create tiny nodules at the site of the infection or inflammation.) and fistulas (an abnormal opening or passage from one organ to another or from an organ to the skin surface).

Symptoms
Fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and weight loss are hallmark symptoms.

Risk Factors
genetic predisposition, (first-degree relatives having a 12 to 15 times elevated risk of developing Crohn’s disease)
Cesarean section delivery
smoking
early life antibiotic use
low fiber intake
use of oral contraceptives
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)

Not only is microbial dysbiosis fundamental to IBD, but “Accumulating evidence suggests that inflammatory bowel disease results from an inappropriate inflammatory response to intestinal microbes in a genetically susceptible host” (2, p. 2006). Viruses from the herpes family, including Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and human herpes virus 6 (HHV) likewise occur at a higher prevalence in IBD and may play a role in its pathogenesis.

Crohn’s and colitis have different clinical features, but both exhibit a relapsing and remitting course, and both represent autoimmune pathologies of the gut. Because it is autoimmune in nature, people with IBD are at increased risk for other autoimmune disorders including psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis.

Risk Reducers
Ultraviolet sun exposure is protective, as exhibited by marked a latitudinal gradient for IBD-related hospitalizations whereby northern states have significantly more admissions.

Holistic Regimen
Anti-inflammatory diet
Stress management
Social support
Physical activity
Sleep hygiene

Although standards of care, such as corticosteroids, antibiotics, biologics, and immunosuppressive pharmaceutical drugs are fraught with life-threatening side effects, there are evidence-based natural substances that can be used as adjunctive therapies alongside a . This review will emphasize selected therapies with empirical evidence in Crohn’s disease, with a focus on human trials.

These evidence-based botanical medicines proven to induce or maintain remission in the debilitating inflammatory bowel disease known as Crohn’s offer hope to those resigned to a fate of life-altering immunosuppressive drugs or surgery.

Mastic Gum
Turmeric

Difficult to absorb, these tips aid turmeric absorption and lower inflammation.

Consume with black pepper and fat (avocado or coconut oil, flax or chia seeds or eggs).

Take consistently. A teaspoon a day is best.

Heated is better than cold. I sprinkle mine and pepper to the top of my cooked eggs.
