Dysbiosis has been identified as playing a possible role in a variety of health problems. What this role might be is not always clear. It is theorized that the balance of gut bacteria can affect the immune system and the health of the lining of the gut (increased intestinal permeability). ...
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has been implicated in symptoms associated with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), though mechanisms remain poorly defined and treatment involves non-specific antibiotics. Here we show that SIBO based on duodenal aspirate culture reflects an overgrowth...
We compared the microbial composition of symptomatic patients with and without SIBO and found that SIBO does not correlate with small intestinal dysbiosis (p = 0.33, Fisher’s exact test of culture result vs. dysbiosis classification; Fig.4). This suggests that some symptomatic patients diagnos...
Systemic chronic hypoxia is a feature of many diseases and may influence the communication between bone marrow and gut microbiota. Here, the authors show that chronic hypoxia predisposes bone marrow stem cells to premature senescence, which may be due to gut dysbiosis and gut microbiota-derivedd-ga...
Altered microbiome (dysbiosis). The microbiome is the common name for the trillions of mostly friendly bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live on and in your body. Though they’re in every nook and cranny – including between your toes – most are in your gut. These microbes perform functions...
Dysbiosis is the imbalance of protective and pathogenic microbes in the gut. Intestinal dysbiosis is linked to celiac disease (5). Children with active celiac disease typically have different “microbial signatures” in their microbiomes and greater dysbiosis (6). ...
Dietary and gastrointestinal (GI) problems have been frequently reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the relative contributions of autism-linked traits to dietary and GI problems in children with ASD are poorly understood. This study firs
Gut Infections and Dysbiosis In a healthy body, there is a healthy balance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut microbiome. When there are ongoing gut infections and there are too many harmful bacteria and too few beneficial bacteria in your gut, it causesgut dysbiosisand microbiome...
This particular phenomenon is calledleaky gut syndrome. In the medical literature, leaky gut is also referred to as “increased intestinal hyperpermeability.” What happens when you have leaky gut? The intestines are protected by a single layer of specialized epithelial cells that are linked together...
