How can a relatively “harmless” gut microbe be dangerous to good gut bacteria?

September 19, 2019 -

The gut contains trillions of microorganisms. Bacteria comprise most of the gut microbiota, but single-celled organisms and viruses are also present in considerable numbers.

Also called single-celled eukaryotes (SCE) and protozoans, single-celled organisms don't draw much attention from researchers. They're generally considered harmless.

However, a recent study by researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) showed that the protozoan Blastocystis ...

Beneficial bacteria can help prevent colitis

April 30, 2019 -

Based on these results, the researchers concluded that IM38 attenuates colitis by inhibiting HFD-induced LPS production in gut microbiota through the regulation of Proteobacteria to Bacteroidetes ratio and NF-KB activation in the colon. They also believe that IM38 may be a suitable ingredient of functional foods designed to treat or prevent colitis.

Fiber and gut health: Study links low-fiber diet with leaky gut

February 22, 2019 -

According to researchers from the University of Gothenburg, a low-fiber diet can lead to a swift increase in gut permeability, as well as changes in microbiota composition. This is based on data they gathered after studying mice that were fed a low-fiber diet in comparison with those who had a standard diet. The results of this study were published in Cell Host & Microbe.

A high-fiber diet can lead to many good things, for sure, but it's not always achievable. This ...
