You can give yourself more propionate by eating more fiber sources and amounts.

However, it is available on its own as a mold inhibitor, and past use of this form in excess appears to cause metabolic problems, according to Wikipedia.

Have to wonder if it’d help diabetic feet/toe/eye damage.

Wikipedia is a useless source. Better off to look at original sources.

https://www.acsh.org/news/2019/04/24/propionate-common-food-preservative-alters-our-metabolism-does-make-it-disruptor-13977 [2] Report 79 by the FDA Here is a much fuller statement

“Propionic acid occurs naturally in various foods including butter and cheese. … it is a normal intermediary metabolite. …demonstrated low acute toxicity after oral administration to mice or rats...Microbial assays for mutagenicity of propionic acid and calcium and sodium propionate were negative. Investigations of the teratogenicity of calcium propionate in four mammalian systems also were negative. Short-term feeding tests show …adverse effects on weight gain [weight decreases, not increases] only when propionate intakes are many orders of magnitude greater than the estimate of human dietary intake of propionate used as a food ingredient, about 1 mg per kg per day. Longterm feeding studies of propionic acid and calcium propionate have not been reported. However, a long-term feeding study of sodium propionate showed no adverse effects in rats.”

does eating paste count as eating fiber?

Yep…. Virtually every loaf of bread in the US has calcium propionate added for mold inhibition.
