Analysis of the Mid-Upper Gastrointestinal Tract in Adults

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to find more information about the bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal tract. Bacteria are essential for human life; they are needed to digest food, break down certain vitamins and form a barrier against disease-causing bacteria. We are doing this research study to understand the relationship between bacteria (the human microbiome) and their role in health and disease.
