What wouldn't likely be measured with any sort of accuracy is individual variance is gut microbiota, which I'd assume could lead to notable differences. Even so, I think we'd get more signal than noise doing our best to measure and factor out what we are currently able to.

Sequencing to identify gut microbiota is now common in research. The general makeup of gut bacteria is relatively stable, so weekly or monthly sampling should be adequate.
