Intermittent fasting modulates human gut microbiota diversity in a phenotype-dependent manner: a systematic review - PMC
In their recent meta-analysis, Ejtahed et al. identified taxa associated with multiple diseases, including obesity [54]. In this review, the dominance of Firmicutes enrichment as an outcome after IF may be partly associated with an increase in endogenous substrates over a long fasting period [33]. In fact, fasting has been shown to increase endogenous SCFA production as an energy substrate for host metabolism [55], which is supported by the abundances of the butyrate-producing bacterial species B.

Frontiers | The impact of intermittent fasting on gut microbiota: a systematic review of human studies
The genus Faecalibacterium, belonging to the family Ruminococcaceae within the order Clostridiales, contains only one validated species, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (70). F. prausnitzii has been found reduced in the gut microbiota of obese individuals (71). Moreover, the abundance of F. prausnitzii was significantly decreased in fecal samples from adult CD patients compared with samples from healthy subjects (72).

Gut Microbiome, Intermittent Fasting and Weight Loss: Seeking a Link
This research could help scientists develop microbiome-targeting therapies that ease dieting struggles and help lower the obesity health burden. Stanislawski is, however, capturing some promising preliminary data in one of the largest human studies to date looking at the gut microbiota during intermittent fasting (IMF). The ancillary study is part of a colleague’s research published this spring (DRIFT) comparing the widely popular dieting approach to traditional daily calorie restriction (DCR). That parent study found for the first time a statistically significant increase in weight loss in an IMF group compared with a DCR group, opening a window for Stanislawski and colleagues to analyze differences in microbiota responses.

Frontiers | Effects of Ramadan intermittent fasting on gut microbiome: is the diet key?
<strong>Intermittent fasting has been reported to induce significant changes in the gut microbiota</strong>, increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), decrease the circulating lipopolysaccharides levels, and ameliorate obesity and metabolic ...

The impact of intermittent fasting on gut microbiota: a systematic review of human studies - PubMed
Results: Most studies found an association between IF and gut microbiota richness, diversity and compositional changes. There was heterogeneity in the results, and bacteria which were found to be statistically significantly affected by IF varied widely depending on the study.

We collect sources that support and challenge the claim, then summarize the strongest points from each side. Here’s what we look for:
Each report combines three independent graders and a source-based rubric to produce a clear, repeatable credibility score:
Each factor contributes to the final credibility score through a weighted algorithm that prioritizes factual accuracy and source reliability while considering contextual factors and potential biases.
We trace the claim's origins and examine the broader context in which it emerged.
Our analysis uncovers less obvious perspectives and potential interpretations.
We identify and analyze potential biases in source materials and narratives.
While our analysis strives for maximum accuracy, we recommend using this report as part of a broader fact-checking toolkit.
