Writing Exercise #1

Here are some examples of non-infectious diseases, however, I am not entirely sure if they are driven by microorganisms or simply play a lesser role in the disease. I imagine that many diseases in relation to our digestive system strongly correlates with microorganisms since it has high-density microbial communities.

  • Cancer
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Celiac
  • Lupus
  • Allergies (may not be considered a disease)
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Gallstones
  • Gastritis
  • Ulcers
  • Acid Reflux
