“I want lots of chocs and sweets!
“Get me half a pound of nuts!
“Look snappy or I’ll twist your guts!”
“That’s him!” I cried. “He’s in my tummy!
“So now do you believe me, mummy?”
But mummy answered nothing more,
For she had fainted on the floor.

And then an awful noise was heard,
A snorting, grumbling, grunting sound
That made my tummy jump around.
My darling mother nearly died,
“My goodness, what was that?” she cried.
At once the tummy voice came through,
It shouted, “Hey there! Listen you!

“And that is why you’re always fat!”
I tried once more, “Believe me, mummy,
“There is a person in my tummy.”
“I’ve had enough!” my mother said,
“You’d better go at once to bed!”
Just then, a nicely timed event
Delivered me from punishment.

“To guzzle food the whole day long,
“But really, I can’t help it, mummy,
“Not with this person in my tummy.”
“You, horrid child!” my mother cried.
“Admit it right away, you’ve lied!”
“You’re simply trying to produce
“A silly asinine excuse!

“There is a person in my tummy!
“He talks to me at night in bed,
“He’s always asking to be fed,
“Throughout the day, he screams at me,
“Demanding sugar buns for tea.
“He tells me it is not a sin
“To go and raid the biscuit tin.

The Tummy Beast
One afternoon I said to mummy,
“Who is this person in my tummy?
“Who must be small and very thin
“Or how could he have gotten in?”
My mother said from where she sat,
“It isn’t nice to talk like that.”

I hope researchers eventually find a particular pre/pro-biotic to address this.
And thank you for sharing.
They overplayed their hand and now I see what they try as a challenge.
Check mate inner voices and gut dwellers 😂
In addition, the microbiome also changes nutrition:

Now add a 5th, through the liver
I would kill to have that. Except for the persistent sugar craving. That makes me ill.
