  • Specific bacterium in the gut linked to

    From Bob Roberts@1337:3/135 to ScienceDaily on Sat Dec 5 13:33:11 2020
    Sc> Researchers have detected a connection between Brachyspira, a
    genus of bacteria in the intestines, and IBS -- especially the form
    that causes diarrhea. Although the discovery needs confirmation in
    larger studies, there is hope that it might lead to new remedies
    for many people with irritable bowel syndrome.

    I've often thought that a lot of common "digestive" issues like diarrhea, constipation, ulcers, propensity for weight gain (or loss), is heavily influenced by gut flora. It's exciting to see research like this. If we can learn to "engineer" the bacteria in our bodies for maximum benefit I think it could really improve lives.
