Summary: Important to note, that this study was a review of 21 other papers rather than a single study of 1,503 participants. These papers comprised of patients with IBS (10 studies), healthy controls (six studies) and other patients with chronic diseases such as: chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, fibromyalgia and type 2 diabetes. It is unclear whether changes in anxiety symptoms were due to or related to their underlying disease state. Modulation of the gut-flora is an interesting topic of research currently for a wide variety of conditions but much is still unknown as to the applications (if any) that the gut microbiome may have in management of chronic diseases.

No recuerdo donde lei que la serotonina en realidad no se genera en el cerebro, sino en los intestinos (y despues se usa en el cerebro obviamente). Por lo tanto, si pueden lograr que se genere mas serotonina a traves de ciertas bacterias, tal vez se pueda bajar la ansiedad.

Me parecio interesante, y muy ligado a lo que pasa en nuestro cerebro cuando tomamos extasis, y sobre todo, el long term comedown despues (la ansiedad creo que era el PEOR sintoma que tenia)
