Strong new evidence that stomach microbiome causes Alzheimer’s

In a Huge First, Scientists Transfer Alzheimer's to Healthy Young Animals

This makes a lot of sense to me personally because since developing stomach symptoms ( probably hydrogen sulphide SIBO ) I suddenly and progressively had trouble learning or improving my skills struggle to remember the details of social interactions I had yesterday, im in my 30s and chronic fatigue syndrome alone didn't have this effect, I wouldn't even say I have much of the old 'brain fog' at these times of poor memory.

My Coprococcus level is 'normal', bang on the 50 percentile in the test I did, but my Desulphovibrio is off the scale high( average person that did the test or included in the dataset is 0.124% of total bacteria count, mine is 1.552% ). So far the doctors here have been unproductive, they want me to do an official SIBO breath test at a hospital ( which can't detect H2S ), because they don't trust or want to interpret the results of my AIRE2 machine, which also can't detect H2S.

The doctor won't give you an antibiotic for it?

not in the UK until I actually get diagnosed by a specialist, I haven't done a formal test yet. I know mine comes and goes and a lot of it is hydrogen sulphide because i've done the test myself with AIRE 2 device. Got ok results from just doing oregano and berberine, pepto bismol, quercetin etc, zinc and l-glutamine helps too if its caused leaky gut which im pretty sure mine did ( now seems to be gone and I can eat lots of carbs and some bread again ).

I did have a flare up though so I started using prokinetics. I believe my SIBO might be caused by vitamin B1 deficiency though, but thats a different topic. I wonder if its possible that these alzheimers patients also have b1 deficiency which is affecting their microbiome ? apparently vitamin D is also important for managing the microbiome, but mine measures high in standard tests this summer.

In studies that examined thiamine status in patients with AD, the TPP effect on transketolase in blood was significantly higher (12%) in AD than controls,14 and thiamine in plasma is reduced by about one-third in AD patients. These measures suggest that a significant portion of AD patients are thiamine deficient.
