- jadamson 1y agoYoghurts probably won't help, but Fecal Microbiota Transplantation might. A team at the University of Calgary is currently recruiting participants with Major Depressive Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: https://research.ucalgary.ca/participate/clinical-trial-evaluate-safety-and-efficacy-fecal-microbiota-transplantation-population-major-reb19-0016 https://research.ucalgary.ca/participate/clinical-trial-eval... https://research.ucalgary.ca/participate/focused-study-fmt-ocd-patients-reb22-1179 https://research.ucalgary.ca/participate/focused-study-fmt-o...
- bluefirebrand 1y agoDamn, that's my city and I have been struggling with some other stuff I don't fall under the umbrella of Major Depressive or OCD but if they were doing trials to help anxiety or something I would probably sign up

- Integrape 1y agoYou have to boof the poo for it to work right.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoThe experiment looked to be the other way around. If you introduced new microbiota from patients with SAD this caused SAD in mice. So introducing new microbiota won’t solve the problem. The theory that needs to be tested is that we know microbiota can switch SAD on, but does removal of said microbiota turn it off? It needs to be an antibiotic cleansing. It can even be DIY. People can try this on themselves. I think the unknown factor here though is whether or not a persons diet is introducing the SAD causing microbiota.
- jvm___ 1y agoDo we get gut bacteria from the people around us? Where does a newborn get their gut bacteria from?
- ninetyninenine 1y agoThe entry point to the gut is from the mouth so because of that, I think food is where most of the gut bacteria comes from.
- cwmoore 1y agoSure, as long as you hold your mouth and nose closed when not eating.
- asdff 1y agoYou have a back door as well for the gut that tends to open at least once a day. We know fecal matter is in the air in most bathrooms. It wouldn't surprise me if you got an infusion of community fecal biome right into your anus every time you used a restroom that isn't your own.
- ninetyninenine 1y agoYes but usually when the back door opens things are exiting the gut rather then going in. So I don’t think that counts. There are cases where things do enter the back door but I think that’s just humans getting creative and it wasn’t designed for entry.
- asdff 1y agoIts not like there is positive air flow keeping any microbes in the air out and away. If something lands on there it can probably colonize then spread to the inside slipping through the sphincter.

- mproud 1y agoLotta yogurts people buy are chock full of added sugars.
- grafmax 1y agoEating more prebiotics in the form of unprocessed plants is much more effective at improving gut health than probiotic supplements or even probiotic foods. (Of course you can do both.)
