Summary/Abstract: Considering the increased awareness and the ever-increased number of cases of functionalgastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs), but also due to the intimate relationship between theintestinal microflora and the brain, in this manuscript we have tried to deepen theunderstanding on how a new term introduced in the literature- the so-called „psychobiotics”-are modulating this dense network. Also, we are discussing here on the fact that fastingtherapy can exert to some extent beneficial activities against a wide spectrum of stressors thatcould induce disturbances at the digestive tract level, with focus on most of theneuropsychiatric disorders.
