Both of these seemed quite thoughtful and informative. The first is a Q&A about the need for more targeted microbiome treatments and the second is an interesting study about predicting who Entyvio will work on based on microbiome (although it also seems to imply that the worse your dysbiosis is the harder you are to treat):

Ha ! thanks, FSL.....I just posted something from a few of the leading researchers in microbiome science. I am really excited about the possibilities that lie here in this research.

Ubiome is doing a FREE pilot program for US citizens. I submitted mine last month.

So, as far as the free Ubiome study on IBD....I chose not to do it for a few reasons. They wanted you to sign up with some other place and submit all of your medical data , to have it "gathered in one place".

I already have it gathered here at home in a folder, lol.....thanks to good advice from quincy to keep a set of records here. Something about it just felt wrong.....oh well.

I plan on having this done at some point. I wished I would have done it when flaring (and then again when not) so I could have compared the two !

MK, Good point to bring up what is required regarding that study....if it feels wrong, best to not do it.
