What is the microbiome, how might it be connected to IBD and other conditions, and how can it affect health when it's pushed out of balance? Dr Sarina Pasricha of the Christiana Care Health System gives me the scoop on how the microbiome is created when we are young and how it changes with our activities and diet, as well as why we should not try fecal transplants at home, and how a little bit of dirt is good for our kids.   Concepts and ideas discussed in this episode: Christiana Care Health System 2nd Annual GI Symposium: https://events.christianacare.org/event/gi-symposium-2018/ The American Gut Project: http://americangut.org/ Fecal Bacteriotherapy (FB): https://www.verywellhealth.com/fecal-bacteriotherapy-fb-1942426 DINE-CD research study: http://dinecd.web.unc.edu/   Find Sarina Pasricha, MD, MSCR at: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DocSarina/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/docsarina/   Find Amber J Tresca at: Verywell: https://www.verywell.com/ibd-crohns-colitis-4014703 Blo
