Among the many components that contribute to a healthy gut, prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics stand out as key players. Learn more about them here.
Being as an embryo first startsdeveloping from the lips to the other end, along with the brain and spine, so it stands to reason the Gut is the starting point of health, a Foundation for Health. Being as humans in a natural environment would be exposed and integrated with wide range of Microbes to be involved with our ability to interact with us in the Gut. Much of the natural microbes we have coexisted with are now suppressed, outright killed or replaced with synthetic interlopers. A public indoctrinated to fear life, to fear germs when complete sterility is needed in the ER, or when a microbe gets out of balance, over populated. Yes sanitation is important in food preparation, or storage but a sterile environment, replacing normal background microbe populations, attacking them with chemicals creates disruption as the body tries to adapt, or worse, has become confused to crave the wrong things.
Going along with the health disruption from a leaky gut would be leaky gums, bad mouth health. Then when microbes get on the wrong side of the walls Creation provided us with is when the microbes become anti health, anti life.
If and when possible support Local Efforts for proper grown foods from healthy soils. Healthy Soils make Healthy Foods, Healthy Foods make Healthy People and Healthy People make Healthy Societies.
Also consider the normalization of bowel movements through traditional fermented foods and beverages (TFFB). In recent years, TFFB intake has revealed benefits for human health and favorable effects in non-communicable diseases (NCDs), gastrointestinal disorders, and immune system disorders, suggesting that TFFB could be used to improve human diets.
Symbiotics are a combination of prebiotics and probiotics with synergistic effects, providing live microorganisms and a growth substrate for beneficial bacteria. These combinations improve bowel movement frequency and consistency, as well as reduce the severity of hemorrhoidal symptoms.
Prebiotics are non-digestible substances found in foods such as dietary fiber, especially from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.
Probiotics are foods containing live microorganisms, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi.
Symbiotic foods combine prebiotic and probiotic ingredients to enhance their positive effects. Fiber and breast milk are the main and most important sources.
In addition, postbiotics (metabolic byproducts of probiotics) have potential therapeutic properties. Postbiotics (short-chain fatty acids, bacteriocins, and exopolysaccharides) have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and trophic effects on the intestinal epithelium. These properties contribute to relieving constipation and hemorrhoidal symptoms.
Furthermore, the composition of the gut microbiota plays an important role in metabolic disorders. Dysbiosis, or an imbalance of microorganisms in the gut microbiota associated with metabolic disorders, can potentially be modulated by probiotics or prebiotics. Several studies have demonstrated the therapeutic effects of prebiotics and probiotics on intestinal diseases, BMI, waist circumference, and body fat accumulation, which are associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and neurological problems, among others. They stimulate the growth and reproduction of beneficial gut microbiota, inhibiting the colonization of pathogenic bacteria, which is essential for optimal intestinal normalization. Probiotics and their metabolites (particularly short-chain fatty acids) have become potential preventive and adjuvant treatments by restoring the balance of the gut microbiota, reducing inflammation, stimulating the immune response, and improving intestinal barrier integrity and intestinal epithelial homeostasis through the modulation of autophagy.
A recent review reports that some carbohydrates, such as galactooligosaccharides, can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, and dietary fiber has been shown to positively affect intestinal permeability. Dietary fiber is digested by enzymes and microorganisms that ferment short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate and propionate, which are key factors in gut protection. A potentially beneficial diet would focus on avoiding products such as fruits rich in fructose and oils containing ALA and GLA.
For the most part, vitamins A and D play critical roles in regulating gastrointestinal homeostasis. In clinical trials, these vitamins affected components of the mucosal barrier, including epithelial integrity, the immune system, and the gut microbiota. It is suggested that the effects of vitamins A and D on the composition of the gut microbiota are indirect. In animal studies, these vitamins reduce microbial diversity and increase the Proteobacteria phylum, which are potentially pathogenic in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Appropriate supplementation with probiotics/prebiotics, arginine, glutamine, polyphenols, vitamins, fiber, medicinal herbs, edible mushrooms, and FODMAPs has been shown in several studies to influence the modulation of intestinal immunity, the regulation of the intestinal epithelial barrier, the improvement of mucosal abnormalities, and the growth of epithelial cells. This review offers recent information on the critical roles of proposed dietary ingredients in maintaining intestinal barrier function.
Leaky gut syndrome and intestinal barrier dysfunction are associated with intestinal diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as extraintestinal diseases, including heart disease, obesity, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Given the relationship between intestinal permeability and numerous conditions, it is worthwhile to seek an effective strategy to prevent or reduce increased intestinal permeability. The impact of dietary nutrients on barrier function may be crucial for designing new strategies for patients with pathogenesis of leaky gut-related diseases associated with epithelial barrier dysfunctions is discussed in the review article in the first link.
Why is Local so important? Because no one does it all alone. Off grid as much as possible is a way to manage through run of the mill disruptions. But Local Structures can address our abilities to engage in building healthy societies. Catherine Astin Fitts exposes what all is under foot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7r9ukBCL5Q Make no mistake we are right in the middle of this here and now.
I found a new way to help local in my new state of West Virginia. It is hard to find quality foods because nobody knows about them. I learned what I know mostly from news magazines distributed free with purchase at health food stores in other states. I have begun to investigate the health food places here to get such a newsletter going here. So far, I found one big health store that already has a newsletter (which is likely one reason they are big). I will visit them this Saturday.

I’ve had no problem accessing articles until today, and now ‘the system’ is asking me for my email and PW. I used a Mercola Market PW and that didn’t work, and nothing is sending me a PW recovery email. Just putting up a flag that things seem fishy at my end. Can’t read anything unless I sign in, and it won’t let me sign in…
