Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is in most people’s guts, but can be in very low numbers. It is a butyrate-producing bacteria, and these typically multiply from soluble fiber ingestion.

It would seem getting more soluble fiber could help people to respond to the benefits of higher vitamin B1 administration.

I have that but my problem is I’m awake all night long. If I get 4 hours sleep, I consider that a good sleep.

A timely post! I have been feeling particularly run-down lately. I have IBD and Thalassemia Minor. Some days I feel “decent”, and some days I just don’t have any energy.

Factor in my age (70), all the meds I take, and I thank God I feel as good as I do, but I know I could feel better. More fiber certainly can’t hurt, since I’m not flaring.

I also don’t expect to feel like I did when I was 20, or even 30, but it would be nice…
