A woman has claimed that she was sent to the hospital with a burnt esophagus after following a wellness influencer’s digestive health recipe. In a viral TikTok video, a woman warned about the dangers of following health and wellness advice from social media influencers . TikTok user @lutinii took to the platform in April to share her disastrous results after she tested out an influencer’s “holistic” recipe to help with digestion.
“Y’all better be careful about listening to those health and wellness influencers, otherwise you might just end up in the hospital like I did,” she began her viral video, which has been viewed more than two million times. The woman explained that about six years ago, she started following a “well known” health and wellness creator on social media. The unnamed influencer purportedly shared content about “healing her body from a chronic illness,” which was something that the TikToker could relate to.
“It was one day when I stumbled upon one of her videos, talking about how you could help your digestion by coating an orange with cinnamon and cayenne pepper and eating it, peel and all,” she said. “It was absolutely not pleasant going down and I thought it was in the name of health. I thought I was doing the right thing for my body and it would thank me later.
Wrong.” She revealed that she “ended up so sick” from ingesting the influencer’s digestive health recipe that she had to go to the hospital. She informed the doct.
