First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 65 adults over time to see how their diet, including meals provided by a commercial service, changes the bacteria in their gut. Participants use a food diary and provide samples so researchers can track which microbes increase or decrease after eating certain foods.
