Notice that the report says:
Mice treated with B. polyfermenticus during the non-inflammatory period of the disease had reduced rectal bleeding, their tissues were less inflamed and they gained more weight than mice that did not receive the treatment.
That implies that the mice have to be in remission, for the treatment to be effective. Just about anything works during periods of remission. :roll: I assume, though, that they're trying to say that when the active phase of the disease returned, the symptoms were improved. That is good news in mouseville.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
