As a high schooler, that meant MrBeast could no longer continue playing baseball, as he revealed in his documentary. Rogan quickly inquires if his disease requires him to regulate his diet, to which he responds, “Yes. Very regulated diet.” Essentially, Jimmy can’t eat certain foods as it makes his inflammation flare-up, especially corn.
