I understand what you’re saying.
I believe at this point, it’s between God and us.
Listening to your gut.
Unless you can find a good holistic doctor.
But even they can be greedy.
Listen especially if it talks to you a lot. Mine does, and it turns out that that is caused by a birth defect. Even the excellent, well-known functional medicine practitioner that I had at one time couldn't find it with all his tests. But when I finally gave in at age 67 and had a colonoscopy, the scope wouldn't pass all the way through and I had my explanation, and it was something my father had mentioned as a possibility when I was 20 or so (this evidently ran in his family), but he didn't elaborate at all -- something about "a kink in the gut" was all he said -- and I didn't understand that it was a well-known thing.
Identifying the cause of gut problems is not simple, especially in this broken world. If you ask God, you may very well receive an answer -- I have, many times -- but make sure you are watching and listening for it! Answers can come in many ways, sometimes right away, sometimes not.
Yes your gut microbiome is key to good health. It depends on what you eat and perhaps even more on what you do not eat. I am currently reading The Plant Paradox from Dr Steven Gundry, and following his diet.
Another good source on health is Dr Sten Ekberg on Youtube.
It appears that most food items promoted as healthy turn out to be quite the opposite. Talk about gaslighting...

Sadly this is also true (in reference to you last line)

Some people (but not by any means everyone) respond really well to his lectin diet.
For a somewhat more humorous version of "gas lighting" look on images.google.com the search Family Guy. "What wouldn't Peter do?"
