Another study came out in which another syndrome is linked with a lower diversity of the gut microbiome. This time the syndrome is chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). CFS is a condition in which the individual experiences fatigue which cannot be alleviated by bed rest; even more, mental or physical activity will make it worse. Affected…Continue reading Impact of chronic fatigue syndrome on gut microbiome diversity
