Over the weekend, I read a great little article about the potential applications of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in treating a huge variety of diseases.[i] Of course, we are sorely lacking in clinical trials for almost all but still, there is hope to be…

Back in May, 2018, I wrote about Bacteriodes fragilis (B. fragilis), a species of bacteria some strains of which are toxic, some of which are highly beneficial. The main thrust of that post was about how our immune system, when functioning properly, can recognize…

I’ve decided to start this week with some good news. A few days ago, the headline of a little op-ed sort of piece on a science-devoted website caught my eye: “It’s Time to Highlight Our Fungus Friends in Our Microbiomes.”[i] The author gives a…

When Harvard University talks, people listen (including me)! So I paid particular attention to a fascinating bit of new research out just this week that definitely takes us a step closer to figure out what happens in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), in terms of …

A great article appeared last week on Gut Microbiota for Health,[i] on the overlooked mycobiome in digestive diseases. I’ve written about this topic several times before and am always very happy to see new research focused on the topic. The authors of the paper[ii]…

I continue to make my way through the stacks of articles I’ve collected these last few months and decided today to treat myself to a description of a paper from 2015 that used survey data to analyze the effects of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet…
