Differences in gut microbiome composition and function have been associated with a variety of chronic diseases ranging from gastrointestinal inflammatory and metabolic conditions to neurological, autoimmunity, cardiovascular, and respiratory illnesses[1].

The Guts of Health

Our digestive tract is a repository for a multitude of information processing cells, some of which are human and others not. Harbouring a diverse population of organisms in the human gut, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and sometimes parasites, means they interact with each other and with the immune system. In the last few years next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have revealed that the genes of gut microbes outnumber human genes by ~150- fold and that the gut microbiota displays unique...

Vit D and IBD

A research paper published in the United European Gastroenterology Journal showed that if you are experiencing a period of remission with Cohn’s disease that Vitamin D confers additional benefit in restoring/maintaining appropriate gut permeability.[1] In this small study – some 27 people were involved, all of whom were determined to be in remission at the time of the oral supplementation with either 2000 iu of vitamin D or a placebo for 90 days.
