#2Interesting. Note this has not yet been peer-reviewed, so findings must be taken with an especially large pinch of salt even compared to your average paper. In this case, they only looked at 20 adults over 2 weeks, so I feel that any conclusions drawn here are circumstancial at best.
Apparently the reseach was funded by NIH and therefore at least partly the taxpayer. Seems like a bit of a strange study to fund, in my opinion nothing useful can possibly result from such a tiny study. I tried tracking down the specific grant they were given (they mention NIH award UL1 TR-002378 in the disclosure section of the paper but I can't find anything from that)

#3Has anyone researched the opposite? Like the role of mood and happiness on the gut microbiome.
I was diagnosed with Celiac 5 years ago, could never gain weight and had my share of struggles with anxiety etc.
I recently found a counsellor who told me to stop overthinking, seeking knowledge and a few other things which after following I gained 5 kilos and became a happier person.
I always thought my gut was to blame but a few simple practices seem to be fixing my gut too.

Can you clarify on “seeking knowledge”? Is this something you were supposed to stop along with overthinking, or things you were supposed to learn that would help- if the latter, what were those bits of knowledge?
And elaborate, specifically, on “a few other things”?

The connection is bidirectional, yes.
Mental health issues have been associated with changes in appetite. It’s a simpler relation, though, and is more a function of hormones and nervous system activity than microbiome.

That's something people are always telling you, might as well have been chance that things improved and you've linked it with life events, as humans do- we're a storytelling species, we always seek to explain things in our lives through the prism of our decisions and thoughts.

Stress is the cause for many illnesses, yes.

#8I believe the study is onto something pretty conclusive. Speaking anecdotally, ive never eaten anything from Chipotle that didnt leave me with a haunting sensation of fear and remorse.

#9I recommend this overview of effect of human diet on the gut microbiome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6950569/?report...
Tl;dr is that while the gut microbiome varies by diet, it's largely stable after around 3 years of age, and even extreme dietary changes only result in impermanent shifts in relative abundances and function of your bacteria.
