A tiktoker claims to have followed an influencer’s recipe about fitness and feeling her esophagus burning. She had to run to thehospital and there he discovered that his fabrics they actually were damaged. Now the girl warns people against the suggestions circulating on the Internet: “We must turn to real professionals.”
The story of Luntinii, in hospital because of TikTok
In a video with over 2.5 million views, Lutinii (@lutinii) explains how the strange recipe led her to the emergency room. “You better be careful listening to those ‘health and wellness’ influencer», warns the girl, «Otherwise you could end up in hospital like it happened to me.” For 6 years the young woman followed this content creator who dispenses recipes: «I started to delve into her contents and listen to some of her suggestions – Luntinii continues to explain – I came across one of her videos in which he was talking about how you can help digestion covering an orange with cinnamon and cayenne pepper».
Putting aside the fact that it forms a disgusting concoction, the problem was that the ingredients took it to a serious state of malaise. It wasn’t just a stomach-ache day for the tiktoker, but one suffering lasting several months: «I had to consult a specialist. – Luntinii continues – I did aendoscopy and I discovered that, in fact, I had burned my esophagus.”
The bad episode happened and was resolved a few years ago, but the girl wanted to talk about it on TikTok because she saw that the fitness influencer in question is promoting the same recipe again on every social channel. Luntinii therefore wants to remind everyone to pay attention and be cautious when trying the suggestions they find online. «It makes me angry because there are millions of people who turn to her for information. For me it was the last time I listened to an influencer of health and well-being”, he concludes.
Ingredients useful for constipation? Yes, but not online
Luntinii didn’t reveal the name of the influencer she was referring to, but her viewers have quickly identified. Having found the video in which he promotes the strange concoction based on cayenne pepper, cinnamon and orange, claiming that it is an excellent remedy for constipation, users immediately proceeded to discredit it: “As cover emergency room costs arising from your recipe?” one person in the comments section asks hostilely.
“I will never understand why people listen to random strangers online about their health. I do not trust anybody!» wrote another TikTok fan. «Our parents told us not to believe everything that is shown on TV. Now it’s the Internet’s turn”, says a third, while a woman writes to Luntinii: “People must trust professionals, we need to turn to dietitians and not influencers for advice on diet and nutrition. I’m glad you’re well!
But what is the truth? Oranges, cinnamon and cayenne pepper they are truly useful ingredients for digestionaccording to the dietician Alexis Supan: «They increase the production of enzymes in the stomach, which helps us break down food», explained the doctor. But the advice remains to contact a specialist in the real world, who will prescribe the best remedy based on the problem, the age of the subject, intolerances and many other parameters.
