Mapping The Genome Of Gut Bacteria

Post by tex »

Hi All,

This should have profound implications for human health, once it's completed.

Tex,

Very interesting - thanks for sharing.

Wonder if they tried GF/CF/SF or just traditional IBS diet - sure hate to see that little girl suffer.

This says a mouthful:
Previous studies in children have found that intestinal bacteria can affect the leakiness of intestines, help control inflammation and determine how sensitive pain receptors are.
Hopefully this study will answer a lot of questions.
