Many studies show that there is a link between patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and gut microbiota, revealing alterations in the people with this condition.
Professor of Psychiatry Ted Dinan, from the University College Cork, is one of the world main experts on this link between mental health and our guts. We interviewed him during the 5th Gut Microbiota for Health World Summit 2016, held in Miami in February and we had the opportunity to talk about the gut-brain axis.
