As someone who has recently been battling IBS after coming back from a trip it's become pretty clear to me that gut bacteria/micro fauna/whatever plays a significant role in our health that Western medicine is only just beginning to understand. I'd wager in another few decades we will see a whole bunch of new treatments based around an improved understanding of the gut.
It's unfortunate because I (anecdotally) see Doctors dismiss gut micro-fauna balance as quackery, especially since alternative medicine often points to it as a source of trouble (e.g. Candida overgrowth). Sadly it's common to see conventional doctors attack straw-men when discussing alternative medicine's view on the gut rather than acknowledging what we do/don't know. Not saying 'alternative' medicine is right but it's clear to me a healthy gut is critical to a healthy person. I crave more scientifically backed data - I've really begun to appreciate how impacted quality of life becomes when you're dealing with chronic digestive issues.
Adding fiber and probiotics to my diet has helped me tremendously. Shocker - eating green, healthy looking things instead of fast food poison makes me feel better too. After a fair bit of research this probiotic seemed like the best value with a solid strain list. Probably best to refrigerate as soon as possible though.
