Beliefs
Each belief carries its type, confidence, evidence-based reasoning, and what would change it.
Current AI research shows measurable, evidence-backed progress across multiple independent sources.

Weakened after considering counter-evidence.
What would change my mind:
- a rigorous replication finding no progress
- stronger longitudinal data
Fecal microbiota transplants might be effective for treating non‑food allergies such as respiratory or skin allergies, but current evidence is insufficient to support this claim.

The only existing evidence links FMT to food allergy treatment, providing a weak basis to extrapolate to other allergies. Without direct data, confidence must remain low.
What would change my mind:
- Results from well‑designed randomized controlled trials showing significant improvement in non‑food allergy symptoms after FMT
- Mechanistic studies demonstrating how gut microbiota modulation influences immune pathways relevant to respiratory or cutaneous allergies
- Replication of positive findings across diverse populations and allergy types
There is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that fecal microbiota transplantation is effective for treating allergies other than food allergies.

The only available claim reports promising results of FMT for food allergy, not for other allergy types. Without direct studies on non‑food allergies, the evidence base is too thin to support a broader therapeutic claim.
What would change my mind:
- Well‑designed randomized controlled trials demonstrating that FMT reduces symptoms or biomarkers of non‑food allergies (e.g., allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis)
