Comment on Does the microbiome hold the key to chronic fatigue syndrome?parent

What interests me is the possibility that over time you can cause certain strains of beneficial bacteria to go extinct in your gut, so you can't repopulate it by correcting your diet. And if that bacteria is initially populated by the mother, if she already has some of those strains go extinct when she has children, they could be born without those strains at all. But that's all a wild guess on my part.
