What Causes Dysbiosis and How Is It Treated?

Post by D.ap »

There’s been talk of IBS /and intestinal issues while on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ici) and or tryosine kinases inhibitors ( TKIs).
While reading I’ve come across a new medical term
dysbiosis
an imbalance between the types of organism present in a person's natural microflora, especially that of the gut, thought to contribute to a range of conditions of ill health.
"in some conditions, such as Crohn's disease, a link with dysbiosis has been established"

As always , talk with your doctor before treating yourself , even with dietary changes especially while on ICIs and or other cancer / and or medications .
