[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1206433, member: 88961"] There is certainly some interesting work going on, looking at the gut microbiome and metabolic disarray. Although significantly modified to suit TV journalism, there was a interesting programmes on UK TV, last month, if I recall correctly, looking, in that case, specifically at the gut microbiome and gaining weight/obesity. If my memory serves me well enough, I recall that one particular lady on the study had, as a result of c-difficile, become unable to digest well, with unpleasant, alarming and uncomfortable (not to mention socially unacceptable) symptoms. She underwent a faecal transplant, with her daughter the donor. After the transplant, she found her body had adopted some of her daughter's characteristics of gaining weight, with difficulty losing it again, whereas before her c-diff she had been able to eat pretty much whatever she wanted, without any impact on her weight or other metabolic markers. For me, the research is a little immature yet, in terms of quantum and findings, too be anything except mildly interesting, but I do appreciate that what goes on in my gut impacts on many aspects of my life. For a portfolio disease, like T2, there is no reason to believe there could be something quite significant in it all. I wouldn't say the world is full of conspirators in this regard, I prefer to think of it as courageous thinkers who are not afraid to say what they think and find. If we always do as we always did, we'll always get what we always got. Of course, time will tell. [/QUOTE]
