A recent study found that the gut microbiome at 6 months predicted which kids had ADHD at ten years old? How strongly does the gut microbiome contribute to ADHD or other conditions?
Thank you so much for taking the time to research and tell us some of what has been explored through observation and studies, and passing along what is known and what is not yet known about these topics. I particularly appreciate that you speak at a comfortable pace and make it understandable for people, like me, who aren't researchers and doctors.
So far, the research on being able to precisely change your microbiome by orally taking a specific bacteria is very limited, and not terribly convincing that we can achieve ongoing, meaningful results.
Most of the research I've read suggests minimal impact from taking most probiotics - that your gut microbiome very often reverts to its old varieties if you stop consuming them. Daily consumption may lead to greater impact. Also, most of the probiotics contain just one or a few varieties of bacteria, and your own microbiome is likely to contain thousands. But at least they're not too likely to cause severe adverse effects.
No real data on this. Part of it is that the collection of microbes in gastrointestinal tract is such a complex system that we don't even know all of the parameters of what constitutes "healthy".
