For me the soil and bifido. longum probiotics (and Matt Pepin -- my podcast show co-host) are able to digest gluten and dairy again. Starches came first!<br /><br />Re-seed and consider that we are so lucky that the most ancestral core, B longum is available commercially. Also there are a myriad of strategies to bolster and maintain their populations in the gut<br />--diverse fiber (nearly all raise it except RS2 WHICH LOWERS AND SUPPRESSES IT)<br />--probiotics<br />--psyllium, whole grains, inulin, GOS, yacon, sunchokes, version A and B of bionic fiber<br />--etc<br /><br />Hang in there!

http://restoretheflora.com/gut-...ballabolla/Saskia<br /><br />http://restoretheflora.com/gut-guardian-podcast-episode-07-cracking-down-on-candida/<br /><br />THe last 3-4 episodes on the GG podcasts are all centered on Candida and opportunistic pathogens. Part of the problem of course is acid in the upper gut (the lack of) due to dysbiosis. That is wonderful you are seeing results with ACV. Are you using fermented, raw ACV which has a scoby like kombucha and probiotics? Maybe some of the good wild yeasts and microbes are seeding and helping the upper gut as well!<br /><br />I love hearing about more robust guts that can digest all of nature's food and bounty incl FODMAPS!!<br /><br />Sadly the tests I use are not available to mainstream GPs unless they sign up -- very easy. Have them contact Genova, Biohealth, Doctor's data, Great plains, etc directly and the acct is usually set up within hours.<br /><br /><br /><br />MICHELLE~!<br /><br />Yes like you I notice mental clarity the very next morning ;) (then I notice muscle cramps because I'm not so hot at replenishing my lost trace minerals and mag! lol I was the half marathoner who never did electrolyte replacements, stupud)<br /><br />I'm not familiar with Metal-free; so many good and excellent products actually. Probiotics also chelate and safely remove heavy metals.<br /><br />"modern medicine has not established firmly even the possibility that constant toxic drip of mercury from the mouth down is NO bueno" I could not agree more. Dentists are starting to get it but the AMA and others would have to admit 'fault' so until the MDs are ill and burdened themselves (or their precious children) we shall not see changes. Mark Hyman MD gave himself autism in China, and it was related to mercury (coal burning that contains mercury and arsenic, GST variant which prevents heavy metal elimination, etc). So as one of the leaders of functional medicine he is keenly aware and gradually influencing mainstream imho.<br /><br />Google 'mark hyman mercury' for some great resources that I like<br /><br />Really I have no idea how/why/when fiber got demonized in the paleosphere when as you discussed it has such great clinical and ancestral benefits. My parents grew up eating a lot of vegetables and thus fiber (eg we grew up poor, as they were Taiwanese immigrants)! Even on paleo, I used a lot of Metamucil (love the orange Tang flavor, this is before your young time LOL -- Tang was a mixed koolaid-like powder that came out in the 70s around the time of space travel )<br /><br />Metamucil does great stuff -- lowers body fat, improves diabetes and blood sugars, improves cholesterol and triglycerides, improves IBS both IBS-C or IBS-D, blah balh blah -- like all fiber, as you mentioned. All fiber should improve metabolic pathways because they secrete SCFAs which potently bind GPR41/43, so it is quite weird and odd that RS2 doesn't have these benefits at all (though enuf butyrate; gram for gram AX and GOS/FOS give more butyrate compared to RS2). <br /><br />The RS3 epidemiology studies for colorectal cancer and any disease of industrialized nations are quite clear -- whole food fiber is good for all humans and it feeds the entire gut, not just a narrow band of characters. <br /><br />When we have wonderful and ancestral levels of gastric acidity and LAB-acid producing flora in the upper gut, we make all starch resistant, no? This is the modern conundrum. PHD Paul Jaminet started the revolution -- re-introducing and saving the fate of starches. Thank goodness for Paul! Sisson has a great carb chart going up to 150 grams per day of carbs but if considering high fiber RS3-enriched starches, I certainly it can go up higher to 200 g/day no problem (and fixing gastric acidity and SIBO/SIFO). Tide is turning ;) You are the beginning of the wave!

Personally I h...I love your thoughts and curiosity. Personally I harp on these modern factors because together synergistically they add up to create gut disruption. Individually they aren't a big deal. A high dose or long duration of antiparasitic botanicals may have similiar devastation on a vulnerable gut as a course of cipro would. Perhaps it's all context and how vulnerable a gut. We are so different from ancestral and rural societies. The hadza have 5- to 10- fold more diversity and species in their guts. Everywhere they live is poop! Lol. No alcohol hand cleansers or fluoride (except what's naturally occurring). And they have no western diseases-- cancer, heart disease, IBD, autoimmunity or celiac. Obviously their vipers are different -- poisonous snakes, starvation, malaria and sickle cell anemia etc <br /><br />Sugar alcohols are all diff. Punch xylitol and microbiota into pubmed -- it has nice antifungal and antipathogen properties. It's great as a nasal spray for fungal and microbial overgrowths temporarily. They are FODMAPs so I'm not sure what amount is tolerated but likely individual based on each persons gut. <br /><br />Dr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-55548228192930530382014-11-13T18:31:37.369-08:002014-11-13T18:31:37.369-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389521079719291041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-3675924716100672692014-11-13T18:27:38.562-08:002014-11-13T18:27:38.562-08:00Michelle

Yes ps and GBF alone without the diversity of whole foods and the spectrum of insoluble, soluble and viscous fiber increases mean transit time by 1/3 or more! For those with guts full of fecal carcinogens related to dysbiosis may see problems. <br /><br />I think when we get the good and ancestral symbionts filling up the uppergut the way evolution intended, then we see massive health improvements as well as better gut-brain interactions. <br /><br />B LONGUM, Roseburia and the soil probiotics are like the head and appendages of our guts since they are considered an organ on their own<br /><br />I like Heathers and NOW. They are both organic <br /><br />The stool mucosa associated bifido at not always reflected in the stools but if you are feeding inulin which is an available substrate to the microbiota, then be assured the ancestral bifido will grow ESP if your symptoms resolve. Sadly, what I observe is that RPS selects and overfeeds other hamster bifido, bacteroides, prevotella and rs2 eating vipers in marginal guts. The best place is after all the ancestral members are in place, the way that Ashwin Patel and others have gone about it. Feeding diverse fiber -- depending on nutrigenomics and whether ones ancestors evolved equatorially or in low carb scenarios like Native Americans or northern EuroAsia etc. <br /><br />Recently a reader reported she is inulin tolerant now. These are awesome signs! For you and I, inulin can feed prevotella and bacteroides but I feel the benefits outside because bifido will perform and kick the pathogens off.

Luv Sean but he and the others are early...Michelle<br /><br />Luv Sean but he and the others are early adopters ;) It's fine -- VLC is important but it will hurt the gut long term. I like the butyrate with PS, but again this hurts and maims the gut short and long term. <br /><br />Better solutions exist. Targeted to what is going on is key -- like what you've done! Awesome gut grrrrl!!<br /><br />-Prevotella spp. 4.9 E7 (high) <br />This is what I had/have. Raw potato starch causes me immunosuppression and in the last trial gave me horrific GERD/heartburn (sx gone now, gratefully).<br /><br />Consider no RS2 when the starch-eating vipers are present and low B longum/symbionts. For me acid, pepsin, bile, bifido and other digestive support fix this. B-Prevotella and Bacteroides are our primordial co-evolutionary partners. And they eat everything! The problem with raw starches is that they ultra super fast ferment these -- this creates more overgrowths in the uppergut when that is where they are inappropriately. <br /><br />Yeasts live alongside next to them in the uppergut when they trespass. Targeting both at the same time is key imho.<br /><br />--Low symbionts. Bifido is sadly not fine. B longum is only 20% of total. I believe goal is 40-50%. Try increasing by 2-3 fold and I think you will see much success. <br /><br />--Adhesive E coli -- viper! Probiotics -- soil and bifido -- can help squeeze it out.<br /><br />Ruminococcus is part of clusters IV and XIVa. Don't worry -- these will grow back when the gut is healthier. <br /><br />Do you have intolerance to inulin or acacia fiber? What is working for your gut?Dr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-5953304446497967232014-11-13T12:12:06.110-08:002014-11-13T12:12:06.110-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389521079719291041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-36702748691634801942014-11-12T07:39:54.495-08:002014-11-12T07:39:54.495-08:00cooled...cooled...ballabollahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875170474549333919noreply@blogger.com
