Dietary convergence induces individual responses in faecal microbiome composition
Background Dietary variation has been identified as a key contributor to microbiome diversification. However, assessing its true impact in a cross-sectional setting is complicated by biological confou...

2/5🧵.Design of The Oatmeal Study: a 21-day A–B–A reversal trial with baseline, intervention, and followup phases.
During the 6-day intervention, participants consumed only oats, milk, and water. Daily stool samples and dietary logs were collected throughout.
