#2Strange coincidence, just last night drank milk kefir and woke up feeling much more lighter in my head...Guess I know the reason now...

#3Since diet can affect the microbiome of the gut and I can't imagine how gut bacteria affect moods (although I'm open to the idea I suppose) I'd wager it is actually diet and nutritional input that affects mood as well as the gut bacteria. Makes more sense to me that your mood can be affected by your diet, and what we are measuring is the altered microbiome of the gut because of the diet.

#4I thought this had been known for a while?

You wouldn't expect a fecal transplant to help if the bacteria were entirely incidental though.

So... you can imagine how gut bacteria affect mood after all?

I wonder which gut bacteria make me crave cheap Mac and Cheese...

#8Tangential: Is there any evidence that pro biotic foods or supplements can increase gut health? Given the evident importance of gut health, I wonder whether it's worth using something like this, to grab a random example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Restored-Bio-Cultures/dp/B082SZXBF2...

To be fair, I think the parent is that they expect that both are affected in similar ways. That is, gut biome is an effect, not an affect with regard to mood.
The sibling point that treatments targeting the biome would be expected to fail, if that were the case, is complication.

#10For those curious, morganella is the main culprit listed here, it seems. Wikipedia isn't clear to me on how one gets this in your biome. Outside of other susp conditions. :(
