How gut bacteria affect weight regain after weight loss
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) might be linked to regaining weight after losing it. It tests whether a short course of antibiotics or a placebo (a sugar pill) affects this process. The goal is to find new ways to help people keep weight off long-term.
