Thanks for posting that article Marlene.
There's a lot of research going on with the gut microbiome these days. A popular theory is that lack of diversity leads to immune system and chronic disease. Maybe some day they'll figure out a prevention or cure for these diseases by tweaking the gut bugs.
I had my gut microbiome tested and interestingly, was found to have a very low diversity compared to the average person who tested. I have been adding probiotics, fermented food and a prebiotic (in the form of uncooked potato starch), and also green juice in an effort to heal the gut. Maybe some day it will have an effect on my blood disorder too.
