Initially, it would seem supplementing from probiotic sources (kefir, yogurt, probiotic formulas) would help displace an overgrowth of Ruminococcaceae.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Waiting for the other shoe to drop: the roster of all the great foods that we’ll need to avoid to stave off bathing our brains with this gut-produced toxin.

AND, too, I expect there’ll be some reason this specific bacterial strain CANNOT be entirely eliminated from the gut; probably THAT’D kill ya, too, if Murphy’s Law is of any effect.

And then there's this...

It's all about balance.

Unfortunately probiotic organisms don’t have any effect on actual gut bacteria. There are upwards of 28 strains of lactobacillus and acidophilus which are what yogurt and kefir are made by. Then there are the leuconostoc bacteria that are responsible for sauerkraut and kimchi. You can easily consume a trillion live cultures of probiotics in a day and it will have no noticeable effect on your health. I think going to Mexico and drinking a glass of water would be more effective.

Ruminococcaceae?

I thought that was a quaint fishing village in Wales.

“Ruminococcaceae...”

[slaps forehead] But of course!! How did I overlook it?

Don’t believe a word of this.

It conflicts with prior ‘studies’ and illustrates how they STILL know next to nothing about the gut.

It’s both a ‘little’ more complicated and much simpler than what profit-driven research suggests.
