If the small intestine develops a similar amount and type of bacteria as the colon, this can lead to several potentially serious problems. When this happens, it is called
Recent research ties infant infections to increased celiac disease risk. But why? In this post Sarah discusses different reasons and ways our gut bacteria population changes and what consequences may result because of these changes.
