How this ties in with Coeliac Disease is also intriguing because some symptoms overlap.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, this may sound odd, but to prove this, I have to work out if I can balance the microbes in my gut first and then measure any noticeable differences in the symptoms of ADHD.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">My main aim is to see if my symptoms of ADHD can be reduced.

Medication is often considered as the first line of treatment. This makes sense because the medication treats symptoms relating to the nervous system like impulse control and paying attention.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, the more research I’ve done, by balancing certain microbes in the gut, a reduction in ADHD symptoms sounds like it could be possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I find that my medication just masks symptoms rather than ‘fix’ them! The symptoms are still there when the medication wears off and there seem to be no long term benefits from it so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">I’m not sure, but I think some adults out there like me, might possibly want to have their ADHD symptoms reduced. At least the annoying ones for sure!\u00a0 This would allow for an opportunity to<i> <b>harness the potential, while reducing the annoyance<\/b><\/i><b>.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If this is possible for me to do this, then I will dedicate my time to getting this information out to everyone I possibly can.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This may be a big call, but if I don’t try, I’ll never know. And that’s one of the very positive things about my ADHD – I question\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">EVERYTHING<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">! It’s something I’ve always done, it got me into a lot of trouble at school, but I see it as a bonus when trying to change something or solve something.<\/span><\/p><h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">so why does Dysbiosis happen?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20279\" src=\"https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-160x80.jpg 160w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-5-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aside from a poor diet, factors like antibiotic overuse may also contribute to gut dysbiosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Research now points to other environmental factors such as processed food, additives, prolonged stress and exposure to chemicals as potential contributors. They all might play some sort of part in creating the imbalance but just how, is still unknown.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are so many things that we are exposed to daily that can disrupt the balance in the gut. Because research is still in the early stages of identifying environmental causes, we won’t know much until ‘themes’ and ‘patterns’ emerge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This will help scientists narrow down just what microbes need to be reduced or increased for optimal neurological health. But to do this, testing of the gut microbiome needs to be analysed on a large scale over time. Longitudinal studies will hopefully then provide data on how our gut microbiota has changed over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cross-referencing data across countries could also offer insight into how dietary changes have impacted different populations in different regions across the globe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19807\" src=\"https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-160x80.jpg 160w, https:\/\/gutidentity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/4-2-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p><h3><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">which microbes should be decreased or increased?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the help of ‘metagenomics’, which is a sequence-based approach to analysing gut microbes, questions as to what microbes should be altered, may be answered in the not so distant future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There’s definitely been an increase in articles published on the topic over the past 6 months.
