Currently there is a lot of focus on the gut and in particular the type of bacteria that resides there. Known as gut microbiota or gut flora, the importance of a suitable balance between the good and bad bacteria that make up our gut microbiota is rapidly emerging as a vitally important component to our health. In fact we discussed this very issue in relation to autism in our latest e-news (to read the full feature click the following link and select December’s edition foodforthebrain.org/publications-and-events/e-news.aspx). Now new research has outlined the role gut microbiota potentially has in Parkinsons disease, with findings that those with the illness have a different type of bacteria in their gut to those that do not. The study results are hoped to enable the team to research further, with the potential of developing new testing methods to improve the diagnosis of Parkinson’s, as well as possible new techniques in prevention or treatment of the condition.
