Faecal transplantation
In a recent headline, the German news website SPIEGEL ONLINE called it “the gross cure”, and transferring gut bacteria does indeed not sound too appetising. Yet there is increasing scientific proof that faecal transplants – or transfers – offer a highly effective and simple way of treating gut diseases. After a first controlled transfer of
A large number of studies have examined and demonstrated the positive impact of a healthy gut flora. And again and again, researchers make new findings. One example is that the risk of developing asthma increases significantly if an infant lacks specific bacteria in the gut or if these have been destroyed during the first months of
When the year draws to a close, if not sooner, millions of people make resolutions. And way up high on their list of priorities will be to lose or reduce weight: fewer pounds on their bathroom scales even before it’s warm enough to hit the beach. But what’s the right diet? Paleo diettm, fasting diets,

“Fermentos only serve mouldy food” – thus the rather striking headline used by the German daily “Die Welt” for a report on a group of predominately young people in US who consciously opt for healthy bacteria: for fermented food. “Fermentation”, the article says, “is the countertrend to sterile industrial food.” Fermentation involves natural microorganisms such

We have already seen in other studies that our gut flora changes with age, and that this may trigger diseases such as cancer and old-age diabetes (see also -> https://www.gesunde-bakterien.de/wichtige-bakterien-wie-der-darm-unser-leben-bestimmt/). Yet is there a way of influencing the gut flora so that it, as it were, remains young? This could then be the key to

In Western industrial nations, people’s lifestyles – in particular their diets – have a detrimental impact on bacterial diversity in their gut, and hence our health. Writers in several newspapers and news agencies have emphasised these findings this month, referring to the results of research conducted by scientists in several countries. Compared to indigenous people

“How the gut determines our lives”, is the slogan the German news magazine “Focus” once more relies on to summarise current research and observations on the importance of the gut microbiome. “For a long time, researchers assumed that microbes merely handle digestion”, the advance notice to the edition “Follow your gut feeling” says. Today, however,

Is it possible that bacteria in the gut flora influence our eating patterns? To put it differently: Could eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia be possibly caused by specific gut bacteria? French scientists have looked into this question. According to a report published in Wissenschaft aktuell they were able to demonstrate that “E. coli

Does food make us happy if we have a sufficient amount of a specific bacterial strain in our gut? This is the question science writer Rainer Kurlemann sets out in his contribution “What the gut flora achieves” for the “Stuttgarter Zeitung”. Without providing a final answer, we can definitely state that food and digestion, pleasures

Bacteria in the gut not only help us digest food, but also make an important contribution to the wellbeing of our entire body. This is emphasised in the article “100 Trillion Friends”, published by author Hanno Charisius in the German weekly DIE ZEIT. According to estimates, every person is home to 100 trillion bacteria and
