“The [research] team first showed in 2019 that #fibromyalgia was linked to
alterations in the gut microbiome. Now, it has documented precise
microbiome changes which it says are telltale signs of fibromyalgia”

“He stressed that the idea that bile acids can affect physiological
processes isn't new, and has been explored in depth in relation to
numerous conditions, including visceral pain. However, he said, their
connection to #fibromyalgia has received little attention”

and could eventually provide a strategy to treat fibromyalgia, if it is
shown that the unusual patterns in the guts of affected people actually

“The hope is that if this is the case, therapies to adjust the microbiome may have potential as treatments [for #Fibromyalgia].
Dr. Yoram Shir, one of Minerbi's co-authors from McGill, said that the
new research 'brings us closer to developing an effective treatment’”
