Dr. Grace Liu: Fixing the Gut Microbiome with Resistant Starch and Probiotics – #177

Here are some resources that I discussed or were related:
- Yacon syrup: beneficial effects on obesity and insulin resistance in humans. Inulin containing lowers body fat 33 lbs.
- Inulin-type fructans modulate intestinal Bifidobacterium species populations and decrease fecal short-chain fatty acids in obese women.Bifidobacteria longum significantly increased. Per author communication: Akkermansia increased too. BMI and insulin resistance all decreased significantly with inulin. Akkermansia and Bifidobacteria longum are associated with the lean core microbiota -- we want these for longevity and disease-free lifestyles as well.
- RS2 animal studies may not translate well to human application Animal studies show significant body fat and weight loss; however 4 human studies fail to replicate any improvements
- Cultivable and pyrosequenced fecal microflora in centenarians and young subjects. High Bifidobacteria longum is extraordinarily characteristic in centenarians and corresponds with super low opportunistic gut growths.
- RS2-HAM high dosage 18% appears to lower important immunoprotective (human) core species: Bifidobacteria longum (but not animal ones), Roseburia cluster XIVa and F. prausnitziiBifidobacteria longum appears to get starved and suppressed it seems per the authors' observations at high dosage RS2 18% and 36%. RS2 HAM does selectively feed good gut flora but these same populations also feed happily off starches, RS3 and inulin as well.
- In autoimmune, autism/spectrum, arthritis, IBS, IBD, GERD/heartburn and other inflammatory conditions, the RS2-eaters may predominate in a dysbiotic gut. Paleo guts often have these microbial 'signatures' I have noticed.
- RS2 may silently and insiduously worsen the microbial pattern so best to test, don't guess: GDX Stool 2200 and urine/blood NutriEval
- My body fat burning 'bionic fiber'= INULIN + AC (version B)
- Roseburia/XIVa protects and reverses peanut food allergies in recent animal model
- Akkermansia is a key gut player for leanness and insulin sensitivity
- Bifidobacteria longum in human studies improves many health parameters (anxiety, high cholesterol, low HDL, high triglycerides, gut dysbiosis, fungal infections, IBD, IBS, GERD/heartburn, diabetes, obesity, metabolic disorders) including also significantly the gut inflammation related to gluten/gliadin.
