Autoimmune protocol diet exits for this. Spent a month eating sweet potatoes. Best I ever felt.
I saw someone here comment that eating only sweet potatoes produced similar results to fasting.

Do they claim causation anywhere? All I see is them saying there appears to be a link.
Yes.It establishes linking, and claim further evidences of "causation". "seems to be “further proof" that inflammation caused by gut microbes can influence mood, Gilbert says."

Sorry if I didn't understand correctly, but how did you make the alcohol (celebration), work stress, pandemic stress > GMO link?
I only made it very recently. I had tried absolutely everything and gotten almost nowhere. I finally stumbled onto everlywell.com tests, took the comprehensive test of 200+ foods, and discovered almonds and dairy were the main culprits.

Make sure to drink lots of water with this, as it has the possibility to glue up your intestines without enough water. To understand why, put a spoonful in a glass of water and leave it for a few hours. You really don't want your intestines glued up!

Isn’t soluble fiber what feeds your gut bacteria?
Your gut bacteria are already getting plenty of food, but to digest the food efficiently, they also need something to hold on to. This is the function of the insoluble fibers.
