The article mention non-probiotic methods are more effective. I could not find what these were beyond "diet". Anyone have an idea?

It could mean a “pre”biotic diet (which feeds your good gut bacteria). Generally, that means:

- Increase fiber intake - especially vegetables, beans, lentils, and complex grains like oatmeal

- Avoid added sugar and processed carbs

- Avoid excess caffeine, which has a diuretic effect and can increase anxiety

Easy to say - hard to do :)
