Reply to "Really need some advice"

Just read an NYT article about a study linking gut microbiome with chronic fatigue syndrome and wondered how these factors may impact those of us with pouches and our own unique stool bacteria issues.

"In a study published in Microbiome, researchers recruited 48 people with C.F.S. and 39 healthy controls. Then they analyzed the quantity and variety of bacteria species in their stool. They also searched for markers of inflammation in their blood.

The stool samples of those with C.F.S. had significantly lower diversity of species compared with the healthy people — a finding typical of inflammatory bowel disease as well."
