New Research into the Mycobiome and the Development of Crohn’s Disease
The biome buzz of last week surround newly published research out of the University of Utah.[i] You’ll remember from previous posts on this subject (see here and here as two examples) that the mycobiome appears to play a big role in the development of… Continue Reading “New Research into the Mycobiome and the Development of Crohn’s Disease”
A Yeast-Derived Metabolite from Kefir: Promising Research in the Fight Against Pathogens and Excessive Inflammation
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University in Israel are working on isolating specific molecules from kefir that can combat pathogenic bacteria and treat inflammatory bowl disease, as well as halt cytokine storms such as seen in severe cases of COVID.[i] For those unfamiliar with kefir, it… Continue Reading “A Yeast-Derived Metabolite from Kefir: Promising Research in the Fight Against Pathogens and Excessive Inflammation”
The Macrobiome and Mycobiome in IBD: A Look at the Role of “Dirty Old Friends”
A very recent paper, published just this past May, caught my eye because of its title: “Inflammatory bowel diseases, the hygiene hypothesis and the other side of the microbiota: Parasites and fungi.”[i] How often on this blog have I talked about the incredible complexity… Continue Reading “The Macrobiome and Mycobiome in IBD: A Look at the Role of “Dirty Old Friends””
A Probiotic/Colostrum Pilot Study in Autism…Which Likely Has Clinical Implications in Other Inflammatory Illnesses
Yesterday, I read a cool little pilot study[i] out of the University of California, testing the tolerability and efficacy of a probiotic and bovine colostrum on a small group of children with autism. And while the results on this population were interesting, as I’ll… Continue Reading “A Probiotic/Colostrum Pilot Study in Autism…Which Likely Has Clinical Implications in Other Inflammatory Illnesses”
Pathogenic Yeast and Autism: Is the Mycobiome a Factor?
Tuesday evening I printed out a bunch of new articles to read that looked potentially interesting. I’ve so far made it through 2, and one of those did not disappoint. A brief seque: I’ve probably mentioned this before, but because of my autism longevity… Continue Reading “Pathogenic Yeast and Autism: Is the Mycobiome a Factor?”
And yet MORE on the Yeast/IBD Connection
Back in September, I wrote about a summary I’d stumbled across describing the current state of research into the connection between the mycobiome and inflammatory bowel disease. Then, just a few days ago, I put up a link [i]on my Biome Buzz Facebook page… Continue Reading “And yet MORE on the Yeast/IBD Connection”
More on the Mycobiome and IBD
I just finished reading a great blog post[i] (by a post-doc scientist at the NIH) on the current state of research into the mycobiome and its effects on inflammatory bowel disease. I learned several new things…and some things are just so important, they’re worth… Continue Reading “More on the Mycobiome and IBD”
The Mycobiome, the Bacterial Microbiome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease
An interesting piece of research[i] was present last week at a conference in Chicago. Firstly, as I’ve talked about before on this blog, it’s important to remember that humans’ incredibly complex natural ecosystems have a mycobiome (native yeast population), just as we have a… Continue Reading “The Mycobiome, the Bacterial Microbiome and Inflammatory Bowel Disease”
