Fungal Imbalance Warning

Fungal Imbalance Warning

Crohn’s disease risk was detectable years before diagnosis, with people who later developed disease showing loss of filamentous fungi like Laccaria bicolor (OR 0.6) and overgrowth of yeast such as Malassezia (OR 1.5) and Candida species. These shifts appeared a median of 2.5 years before onset and were paired with reduced fungal enzymes for breaking down complex plant fibers.
