What kinds of things do you do personally to promote a healthy microbiome
I'm very picky about the types of fats and oils I consume.
Coconut oil does good things for gut flora. It is high in medium triglycerides, a form of fat/oil that has long been medically recommended for serious gut issues, such as stomach cancer and cystic fibrosis.
I'm a butter fiend. I also avoid a long list of oils that wreak havoc on my system, most notably peanut oil.
The gut is lined with mucus. Salt is a major component of mucus. High quality salt can do good things for gut health.
"Glyconutrients" have helped some people with gut issues. It's a fancy term for the right kind of carbs.
When they changed the formulation of the glyconutrient supplement I was taking (added an ingredient I'm allergic to), I found that aloe vera did about 50 to 80 percent as much good. I eventually found another ingredient that had been in the glyconutrient supplement and thereafter was okay without it.
These day, I mostly rely on potatoes as my source for carbs that help me. I have always been a potato fiend.
Also, high acidity is problematic for the gut. Eating an alkaline diet helps with gut issues.
