**A 24-Hour Fast Activates a Microbial Pathway That Helps Heal the Gut**
By University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center - Published on 16 July 2026
A gut bacterium appears essential to the intestinal repair benefits linked to fasting before radiation. During radiation treatment for abdominal cancer, the therapy aimed at a tumor can also injure the delicate lining of the small intestine. That damage can lead to severe digestive problems and may restrict how much radiation a patient can safely [...]
