Subreddit Rules
- No seeking or giving medical advice: While people often mean well, medical advice from those not medically qualified is potentially dangerous. Posts may be removed, and repeated violators may be banned.
- No 'Microbiome Test' Interpretation: Posts requesting interpretation of GI-MAP or similar “microbiome tests” are not permitted in r/Microbiome. These tests cannot diagnose dysbiosis or any other medical condition. They are not clinical tools, they are corporate products that have never been validated by formal, scientific or medical, investigation
- research has quantified or qualified dysbiosis on the microbial level. The "high" and "low" parameters listed on these test panels are entirely arbitrary.
- No pseudoscience: This is a sub for evidence-based science. Post and comments pertaining to the following pseudo-scientific subject will be removed:
- Naturopathic / functional medicine
- Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)
- Antivaxx nonsense
- Hand waving boogeyman about 'big-pharma', GMOs, fluoride, etc
- Not science/evidence based: This is a science/evidence based sub. Usage of citations to support statements is highly encouraged.
- No Links without Disclosure and Discussion: All links to websites or businesses that you own or receive monetary compensation from must be disclosed. Furthermore, any links posted must be relevant and be part of the broader discussion. Simply posting links without providing insightful commentary, will be considered spam, and will not be allowed.
- No FMT sales/marketing
- selling FMT or directing people to websites or businesses involving FMT. You will receive a warning for doing so, and if it becomes a continued issue, you will receive a ban. This is not the sub to find customers for your FMT business on.
- No Attacking other Members: This is a scientific sub reddit. Threads and comments are to remain civil, and discuss the microbiome. Posts or comments targeting any other member of the community individually will be removed moving forward.
- Trolling, troublemaking, ad hominem: Be respectful to others. Address the arguments, not the person. Trolls/troublemakers will be banned.
