Sounds good, but I think it's a bit too early to be overexcited. I'll wait for confirmation from other researchers. The sample size is small enough for selection bias (choosing patients with gut issues). I'm, a bit skeptical about the gut connection because I've varied my diet, and thus microbiome, enough times that it should have affected my ME symptoms by that hypothesis, but it didn't. Antibiotics didn't change ME symptoms either. Maybe the test will be useful for a subgroup.
