"We traced the whole loop and saw that neurons outside the intestines can be controlled by what happens inside the intestines," Mucida says. "It is plausible that the circuit identified here could be involved in additional gut-brain bidirectional interactions, which could influence several intestinal as well as neurological diseases, including IBS and even behavioral abnormalities."
Maybe we should pay attention to our natural bacteria levels in our stomach. If depleted, constipation. Restore / maintenance by consuming yogurt and cranberries.
I agree, but ingesting probiotics has some risk. Nonetheless, I choose not to delay until researchers have dotted all their "i" and crossed all their "t".
