We acknowledge that the science of microbiome research is fast evolving and complex. If any content is found to be inaccurate or outdated, we commit to publishing timely corrections or retractions.

Simplification

Please note that while every effort is made to accurately reflect the current state of scientific knowledge, all content on Feel Gut has been simplified for educational purposes. Gut bacteria and their interactions are highly complex and subject to ongoing research; thus, our classifications and summaries provide a general overview rather than an exhaustive scientific explanation.

By adhering to this policy, Feel Gut ensures that our users receive high-quality, reliable, and up-to-date information about the gut microbiome.
