Certainly biofilms are talked about off and on again here. I think I've heard oldmike and canadamark go on about those. Saw this the other day, and almost posted it.

I remember reading about a particular biofilm found only in Crohn's patients about a year ago. Not sure if this is what is being targeted.

Maltodextrin, a common excipient in processed foods and supplements, encourages the formation of bacterial biofilms in the digestive tract.
