n=40, seems a bit small. But this fits into a lot of anecdotal accounts I've heard. Gut flora is very complex and not well understood.


What is an adequate sample size depends entirely on the effect size.


Yep. I wouldn't eat a mushroom that killed someone, sample size being 1


I've also had anecdotal experience in agreement with this. There have been many studies on this but most of them have a similar small sample size. Wonder why it hasn't been conducted with a larger sample size yet, or maybe it has but didn't find anything so it's not being posted on HN ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
