Been really interested reading up on gut health which most probably know is on the of the largest factors in overall health, inflammation, muscle/fat ratios, etc.
Been looking at protocols for sort of 'resetting' and optimizing gut health as antibiotics, certain foods, and environmental factors like water chlorination can shift the balance one way or another.
So far one of the protocols I just read may look like -
4 weeks - Oregano oil
4 weeks - S. boulardii yeast (help flush candida, restore glycocalyx layer to microvili, and induce IgA secretion)
4 weeks - prescription strength probiotics and fermented foods
Bacteria known/believed to decrease fat and increase LBM -
Lactobacillus
Bifidobacterium
The other thing I haven't been able to find any conclusive evidence on is whether probiotics induce a permanent change in gut flora after some time or if the benefits are only while you continue therapy.
Wanted to know if anyone else might be knowledgeable on this subject as I feel like the quality of my digestion has decreased in the last year or so.
Just ordered a new rice cooker that doubles as a 4Q incubator so I'll be making some batches in the next week!
