Not sure what the best test for the microbiome is, but uBiome is one
- Hypoglycemia causes intestinal inflammation. Undigested food at night can make this a problem, especially when one considers the fact that gut inflammation prevents deep sleep.
- Tocopherols do not absorb at once but stay in the gut for up to 2 days (within the intestinal wall) and a portion of the wall-attached amount absorbs into the systemic/portal circulation every time the person ingest a meal with some fat in it. To make it fully gut specific, you can take the steroid with some Charcoal, so the steroid will adsorb onto it, and that way the steroid will pass through the entire digestive track mostly unabsorbed.
Microbiome #
- Basically, bacteria in the small intestine (where it should not be!) consume all the sugar sugar such that the bacteria in the Colon can’t get any. Consider SIBO as ‘colon undergrowth’ (of good bacteria). ‘Good bacteria’ digest things like resistant starch, not macros or FODMAPs.
- Old medical textbooks said humans had a sterile digestive tract all the way down to the appendix.
- Bacteroidata: fiber metabolism.
- Reduced abundance is somtimes associated with obesity, but is correlated with IBS.
Transit time #
- Can be measured more objectively with carrots/charcoal as you will see it when it comes out. Should be between 8-24 hours, ideally lower of course.
- Slow transit time lowers the production of short-chain fatty acids.
- Correlated with low fecal pH and methanogen counts
- Serotonin, Acetylcholine, motilin, and Prostaglandin promote transit time
