Zachs said:So are you saying that the dominate strains in our gut are the same strains found in fermented foods?
I'm not sure about this,
but I think so.
Zachs said:Yes from things such as kefir, yogart, kombucha and probiotics. The inflammation and pain was exaccerbated by a diet high in animal products but still came on when following a almost fat free/animal product free diet so im sure it was the ferments. This could be endotoxin load from ferments or maybe the lactic acid feeding other bacteria/yeasts? Im not sure.
Lots of variables at play there, so hard to know what was going on.
You were feeling good before the fermented stuff?
Did you suddenly introduce a large amount of those fermented foods at that time?
