I was hospitalized for food poisoning about six months before I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. Next step is checking my genome.

Rolling my eyes as reading these "new" discoveries. Didn't we know about it (gut-brain connection) for at least last ten years?

Yes, We know any connection b/w Brain - gut , But any new discovery comes step- by step Through Research & Understanding their complex network .
