And so there's some really exciting research looking at trying to manipulate the microbiome with the goal of trying to help the immunity.
Now, this is very, very fledgling.
And I'm not saying like for a limited time only, if you take probiotics, it'll slow your MS.
That's not what I'm saying.
Mm-hmm.
But the data is really encouraging.
And there's actually studies ongoing looking at fecal transplants.
Yep, yep.
No, you're right.
And I routinely recommend probiotics for my patients for gut health.
So I find that my patients that take probiotics and take prebiotic fiber, they have better regulation of their bowels.
They have less diarrhea.
They have less constipation.
They have better gut motility, et cetera, et cetera.
But the research looking at the potential to actually impact the immune response is super interesting.
And it's certainly not prime time.
It's a long way off.
But I do think that there's a relationship there.
I absolutely do.
So this is a great series of questions.
