The bidirectional Gut-Brain Axis is now identified as a key factor for growth, development and emotions. In fact, it is the gut microbiome and certain nutrients that communicate to the brain and direct the brain in several ways. The gut microbiome also communicates to the immune system and plays a vital role in maintaining health. This review article brings out the intricacies of Gut- Microbiome-Brain Axis, its modulation, and the role of nutrition interventions for selected Disorders of Gut Brain Interactions (DGBIs).
