So... you can imagine how gut bacteria affect mood after all?

  I wonder which gut bacteria make me crave cheap Mac and Cheese...

    It seems like you are joking, but many of the fecal transplant patients report their food preferences changing, sometimes dramatically.

      Half joking. I do wonder about how the bacteria influences cravings, and if sometimes a craving means I'm missing some kind of vitamin/mineral.

  To be fair, I think the parent is that they expect that both are affected in similar ways. That is, gut biome is an effect, not an affect with regard to mood. The sibling point that treatments targeting the biome would be expected to fail, if that were the case, is complication.
