It is known that people suffering from neurodevelopmental illnesses like autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders often experience gastrointestinal issues, and conversely, patients with gastrointestinal diseases are more likely to have issues with anxiety.  To try to understand this, researchers at WCM-Q conducted a pilot study involving 55 volunteers to look at their individual bacteriomes (the bacteria living naturally in their bodies) and mycobiomes (the fungi found naturally in their bodies). Each volunteer had either a neurodevelopment or gastrointestinal issue, along with a control group of individuals who had neither. Variables suc
