early on and, uh, you know, someone has, you know, hemorrhoids and, oh yeah, I got a little, you know, blood on the toilet tissue.

Oh, no, I got hemorrhoids, you know?

Barry, you had a... Yeah, actually, this is a microbiome question.

So, you know, I'm assuming that with the toxic E. coli, that it's intrinsic to the gut, meaning once it's there, it's there.

But has any of the research looked at transit time, you know, in the colon?

Because one of the things way, you know, way back was

You know, people who have very high fiber in their diet and who, you know, kind of defecate, you know, two, three times a day, four times a day or whenever they want to, they can.

That incidence.

Yeah, well, actually, my dog had it a few nights ago and that wasn't very fun because I was up every hour going outside.

But the idea is, is that E. coli, is it sensitive in any way to colon transit time of food and waste through the colon?

Can that...

you know, mitigate it at least, you know, at least a bit.

Plus, obviously, again, not one factor, but multifactorial, we're trying to replace.

I'm just wondering if you knew much about what else could impact the microbiome and if colon transit time is one of the things, then diet and exercise are both things that increase colonic activity.

This is a great conversation.

This obviously, this whole area is evolving as we speak.

So we're, you know, we're getting in on the really on the early end, no pun intended, of colorectal cancer.

And, and probably, you know, down the pike,

I think we're going to, you know, this is a topic that's going to be very appropriate for revisiting again as technology plays more of a role in

the detection of the early onset colorectal cancer.
