This is some real "duh" stuff: of course gut microbes do, you are what you eat. People with coeliac are often depressed. Sugar gives a rush and destroys food dopamine. For autism, there's the very questionable "parasite" treatment. Also, reducing acidity works wonders. Even Tesla swore by it. If anyone's interested in "fringe" nutrition stuff, look up Aajonus Vonderplanitz. A lot of poeple will reduce what he said to…

Where did Tesla mention about reducing acidity?

Yeah, it's pretty complicated. I have gotten blood, stool, and urine tests and all have come out fine. Food that previously would never cause any issues cause massive problems nowadays. Did your issues come from any dietary changes? How did they appear?
It happened over many months. I was a student at that time and had a poor diet. Mostly ate vegan food with lots of fruit. I have had numerous tests done and everything came back as normal. Following fodmap diet currently but it’s very restrictive. Almost everything triggers my ibs symptoms
The exact same case for me.

I have a suggestion for a test for you ; A Yogi master I once knew said to not eat onions (nightshades) as they interfere with your psychic aura or something. Since you seem to have a handle on your diet, may I request you do an cleanse of sorts and not eat onions for ~1 month and report if you feel any differences?
Onions and garlic are allium. Nightshades are tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers.

What? Zoe is co-founded by Tim Spector, who is very well respected epidemiologist, Zoe did a lot of work in the UK on Covid tracking and Tim was awarded an OBE for his work, are you aware of that or just painting it with the same brush as all these snake oil startups?
Legit question: What does that have to do with anything? More specifically: Why does being an epidemiologist qualify you to have an opinion on gut microbiomes? Even more specifically: DO you have randomized, controlled trials to point to? Otherwise, this is just an argument from authority, and one who's experience is not clear is relevant.

Re: Gut microbes could drive brain disorders
#80About five years ago, after experimenting with some diet changes, I started having some pretty terrible digestive issues, like extremely bloating and indigestion. The issues would fluctuate, sometimes being much worse than others. Along with it came personality changes, like apathy, and they would also fluctuate along with the digestive issues. It's actually pretty scary how much it affected my brain. There are times…
Exactly have the same experience as you. After I got diagnosed with IBS, I started having pretty huge personality changes lasting to this day. No idea the path to recovery is
Rifaximin, an antibiotic, helped reset my gut and symptoms would disappear for a while but slowly creep back.
The thing that finally fixed it for me a little over a year ago is a well formulated probiotic called Seed. They have a fancy capsule that helps it survive stomach acid before delivering the goods to the bottom of the small intestine. I had tried many other probiotics and every home fermentation project before that to no avail. Within a week of taking Seed I felt 90% better, and the improvements have stayed with me for over a year and going back to a normal diet.
Good luck <3
