Hacking your gut bacteria
I recently got my results back from uBiome - a company that sequences your gut microbiome - and I now have a breakdown of my bacteria and the percentage in my gut correlated with each genome. I am starting a new diet (going full-blown paleo) and then I'm going to get sequenced again to see what has changed.
Has anybody else tried this? What are your thoughts?

I know the psyllium husk works by the husks absorbing extra water in the intestines, which causes them to turn into a gel like consistency that smooths the passage. Since diatomaceous earth is absorbative due to being highly porous and mostly made of silica, it functions in a similar way. The only caveat would be not overdoing it because diatomaceous earth is also abrasive and could exacerbate inflammation. So it's not totally pseudoscience.
I've been losing like 4-6 ounces of blood a day the last few days. v_v
I think I'm starting to level out though. I hope >~<
