Another study in mice found that probiotics decreased gut leakiness and inflammation and boosted memory performance in mice with "Alzheimer's-like pathology."”

“The microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), the bidirectional relationship between the microbes that inhabit the human gut and the nervous system, plays critical roles in neurological, hormonal, and immune function, influencing multiple aspects of health.”

“Bifidobacterium needs to be fed a wide variety of fiber in order to produce these signaling molecules (such as short chain fatty acids and others) that in turn regulate the immune system.”

“Several studies have identified a the gut-brain the relationship is that is bidirectional such that changes in the gut microbiome can affect behavior, and behavioral changes (ie. psychological stress) can affect the gut flora.”

“Low-dose penicillin taken late in pregnancy and in early life increased aggression, impaired social behavior and anxiety-like behavior, increased inflammation in the brain, and led to permanent changes in the gut microbiome in mice.”

“The condition is called 'leaky gut syndrome'. Our studies indicate a leaky gut and increased inflammation in the intestinal mucous membrane and related lymphoid tissue before clinical symptoms of MS are discernible.”

“Although many supplement manufacturers do not take steps to preserve the integrity of their products and some have made misleading claims about their products' efficacy, a few reputable manufacturers produce quality supplements that have been used in clinical trials.”

“The pivotal role fiber plays in fueling good bacteria in the gut that act like "miniature drug factories" which produce compounds that regulate the immune system by increasing the number of T regulatory cells, which are specialized types of immune cells that keep the immune system in check and prevent autoimmune responses.”
