Interesting.

Cure?

I doubt it.

Ease symptoms exacerbated by an imbalance in the gut?

Most definitely.

I say this as someone who's symptoms were indeed exacerbated by gut issues. Then again, I don't think this concept is really anything new. Gut issues can indeed make a lot of other conditions worse.

Wow, really interesting study!

This seems like a strange place (news, politics, debates) for this to show up.

@scout86 - it's part of our news feed, along with other articles that periodically appear. It probably seems strange because this forum has been a bit overtaken by current political affairs lately.
