Study on ME/CFS and gut microbiome with crossover interest for IBD

Hello, everyone! I just came across this recent research on the gut microbiomes of people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, which notes some similar findings with folks who have IBD. I think some on the forum have struggled with symptoms that may align with CFS/ME, which also overlaps with long covid, so I thought the study might be of interest:

I think the part about butyrate production, which I know is also important for Ulcerative Colitis, is especially interesting.

National Geographic has an interesting article on this subject. Titled chronic fatigue syndrome is a puzzle. Your gut micro biome might have the key.

I found the part about the gut microbiome to be the interesting part. I didn’t provide a link because I’m not sure if the article is available to non subscribers.
