• One Course of Antibiotics Can Reshape Your Gut Microbiome for Years (Mar 28, 2026) — Swedish study of 15,000 adults finds certain antibiotics reduce gut diversity and alter hundreds of bacterial species—effects lasting up to 8 years after a single course.
• Vitamin D May Reset How Your Immune System Sees Gut Bacteria (Mar 28, 2026) — Mayo Clinic research shows vitamin D supplementation could help restore immune tolerance in IBD patients by shifting antibody responses and boosting regulatory cells.
• Ecological Network Balance Index: A New Way to Measure Gut Health (Mar 27, 2026) — Rutgers scientists have developed a new metric that measures how gut bacteria interact with each other—not just which species are present. The Ecological Network Balance Index (ENBI) can distinguish healthy guts from diseased ones and even track disease progression.
