Do probiotics change gut microbiome diversity in adults?
Probiotics and gut microbiome diversity did not shift meaningfully in a 2026 meta-analysis of randomized trials in healthy adults.
Akkermansia weight-loss maintenance: what the 2026 trial found
Pasteurized Akkermansia helped adults regain less weight after dieting in a 2026 trial, but the probiotic signal was modest and narrowly tested.
Do artificial sweeteners really disrupt gut health?
Artificial sweeteners and gut health remain a murky mix: a 2026 review found human trial signals, but the evidence still varies by ingredient.
Can XOS reduce liver fat? What the four-month trial found
An XOS prebiotic trial in early fatty liver lowered gut metabolites and slightly reduced liver fat, but the four-month study was small.
Food insecurity may alter children's gut microbiome, study finds
A 2026 study found that food insecurity enriches Sutterella bacteria in children's guts, suggesting unstable food access may leave a measurable biological signature.

Can gut bacteria predict bone loss in hyperparathyroidism?
Gut bacteria may flag bone loss in hyperparathyroidism, but the new Bone Research paper is still an early risk signal, not probiotic advice.
Why prebiotics may work differently on different guts
Prebiotic fiber response may depend on baseline intake. A 124-man trial showed resistant dextrin shifted gut bacteria, with larger changes in high-fiber eaters.
How a few medical visits reshaped gut microbes in remote Amazonian communities
Amazonian gut microbiome changes came fast after a few medical visits, raising harder questions about essential care, microbial diversity and consent.
Could prebiotic fibre backfire in multiple sclerosis?
Prebiotic fibre in multiple sclerosis looked less protective in a 2026 microbiome paper, but the signal points to fermentation capacity, not fibre alone.
Selective eating reshapes the autism gut microbiome — and not for the better
A 96-child study finds restrictive eating patterns in ASD drive up inflammatory gut bacteria, sharpening a decade-old debate about whether dysbiosis causes autism symptoms or simply reflects what children eat.
Gut microbiome determines who benefits from plant-based foods, study finds
A systematic analysis of 5,500 human microbiomes mapped 775 dietary phytonutrients to the bacterial enzymes that process them, finding that the gut's capacity to metabolize plant compounds is highly individual and substantially reduced in people with chronic disease.
