Section Addition: Effects of Diet on Microbial Communities
Multiple factors have been shown to change the composition of the microbiome in the gut, and an influx of studies have been created to show the impact of diet on these relationships. In order to make the "Alterations of Flora Balance" section more complete, I would recommend addressing this new area of thought, comparing vegetarian, vegan, and western diets in relationship to gut health.

Updates
Some sections of this article probably need some updating. Fishgibblets (talk) 21:07, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- I noticed that many of the citations in the overview section (particularly those involving numbers) date back to the oughts. In the 20 years since those citations we have learned a lot more about the microbiome, and discovered a lot of species. Early on, all of the microbiome data was from a handful of countries. We have since examined a lot more metagenomic data. Fishgibblets (talk) 21:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
