Yet another study, this one out of Massachusetts General Hospital (one of Harvard’s teaching hospitals) associating inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) with alteration in the virome. These scientists wanted to move beyond correlation and look for actual causation. Exactly how does the virome affect intestinal… Continue Reading “Adding to the Pile of Evidence Linking IBD to the Virome”

The results of a multi-year study of the role E. coli plays in Crohn’s Disease is absolutely fascinating. Back in December, 2021, I described to you research that showed that stress can cause flare-ups of Crohn’s by leading to an increase in invasive E.coli… Continue Reading “How Gut Inflammation Feeds Pathogenic Bacteria in Crohn’s Disease”

Two interesting bits of research for you this week, to make up for missing a post last week. Sorry – just too busy these days to get to write regularly. Both are about research that has isolated specific bacterial microbiome differences in those with… Continue Reading “Two Pieces of Research on Specific Bacteria Associated with Disease: Heart Attacks and IBD”

How many of you have heard of triclosan [TCS]? I had not, until I spotted a paper out of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and Hong Kong Baptist University, on its potential toxicity, re: our gut bacteria. … Continue Reading “Common Toothpaste Ingredient Potentially Linked to Gut Damage Seen in IBD”

Today’s news is on a topic very near and dear to my heart, especially right now: stress. And the news isn’t good. Researchers at McMaster University have isolated a mechanism by which stress causes a flare up of Crohn’s disease.[i] And surprise, surprise –… Continue Reading “Mechanism Discovered: How Stress Leads to Crohn’s Flare Ups”

A couple of weeks ago, I found an interesting article in The Scientist that does a great job of summarizing the current status of helminth research.[i] I have been too busy in my “real” life to read it though, until this past weekend. So,… Continue Reading “Helminthic Therapy: A Review of the Current Status of Research”

Exciting news! It’s been ages since I had any good research on the macrobiome to report to you, and this paper is a all kinds of awesome. To start, the justification for this research: “The increased prevalence of auto-inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis,… Continue Reading “Helminths and Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Some Promising News”

I wasn’t surprised to see this research out of Harvard University: it was inevitable. Scientists at Harvard and the Joslin Diabetes Center have analyzed the genetic makeup of bacterial microbiomes and linked these DNA signatures directly to specific diseases.[i] As more and more… Continue Reading “Relating Bacterial Microbiome Structure to Specific Diseases: We’re One Step Closer”
