For me, I do believe my health problems are due to my gut microbiome, but for me, I think it stems all the way back to birth.

As Nate said, its not just the microbes, but I do think it starts there.

Science is currently at the "what" stage, the correlations. Where science is moving is the "how" and "why" stage. Basically the molecular mechanisms of the disease process. This is an exciting time to be a student headed to graduate school!

And I don't think its just kleb. But they're still determining which microbes are in "healthy" guts vs which microbes are in people with various chronic illnesses.

For you, it could well be the illness that brought it on. For me, I think it goes beyond that.
