Weight gain in anorexia nervosa does not ameliorate the faecal microbiota, branched chain fatty acid profiles, and gastrointestinal complaints.

TL;DR: Upon weight gain, microbial richness increased, however perturbations in intestinal microbiota and short chain fatty acid profiles in addition to several gastrointestinal symptoms did not recover, providing new leads to modulate the intestinal microbiota in order to improve the outcomes of the standard therapy.

Impact of dietary protein on microbiota composition and activity in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets in relation to gut health: a review.

TL;DR: It seems to be a promising approach to support growth and metabolic activity of the beneficial microbiota by developing suitable feeding strategies, and a reduction of dietary CP content and dietary supplementation with fermentable carbohydrates have proven to successfully suppress protein fermentation.

Mechanisms and efficacy of dietary FODMAP restriction in IBS

TL;DR: An emerging body of research now demonstrates the efficacy of fermentable carbohydrate restriction in IBS; however, limitations still exist with this approach owing to a limited number of randomized trials, in part due to the fundamental difficulty of placebo control in dietary trials.

Precision Nutrition and the Microbiome, Part I: Current State of the Science.

TL;DR: The role of diet in shaping the microbiome and the influence of specific dietary components, namely protein, fat and carbohydrates, on gut microbiota composition are looked at.

Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

TL;DR: A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms, and significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition were discovered.

A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins

TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
