I recently got a GI/Stool profile done. While I'm waiting to talk to my doc (he's office is down due to Corona), I'd love to get some knowlege from anyone familiar.
Turns out, I have high levels of Proteobacteria (3 strains, all high) and Bacteroidetes (3 of 5 strains high).
Any input would be great. I understand that this isn't medical advice, just looking to community to get some insight.
Cheers,
Is there any fiber or vegetables that bad bacteria cannot feed on? I've had poor results with just about everything.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 97%. (I'm a bot)
> Splenda did not increase the severity of ileitis; however, biochemically, ileal MPO activity was increased in SAMP treated with Splenda compared with nonsupplemented mice and healthy AKR mice.
> Splenda promoted gut Proteobacteria, dysbiosis, and biochemical MPO reactivity in a spontaneous model of ileal CD. Our results indicate that although Splenda may promote parallel microbiome alterations in CD-prone and healthy hosts, this did not result in elevated MPO levels in healthy mice, only CD-prone mice.
> The objectives of this study were to characterize the fecal metagenome of experimental SAMP mice and the ability of animal cohousing in transmitting SAMP ileitis to healthy AKR mice; and then to quantify the effects of Splenda supplementation on CD ileitis using SAMP and AKR mice and a fecal homogenization protocol18 where all mice prior to experimentation were exposed to the pool of fecal microbes present in all mice.
> Splenda did cause gut microbiota dysbiosis in both SAMP and AKR mice, with a predominant increase of Proteobacteria, and a significant increase of pro-inflammatory myeloperoxidase activity and penetrating bacteria primarily in the gut tissues of SAMP mice.
> 3D-SMAPgut analyses showed that the 3D ileitis phenotype was not transmissible to AKR mice and that SAMP ileitis was not prevented during cohabitation with AKR. Culture analysis indicated that although the total bacterial load was similar for AKR and SAMP cohoused mice, SAMP favored gut enterobacterial growth.
> Because several lines of evidence indicated that Splenda promotes MPO tissue reactivity and the overgrowth of E. coli in intestinal content, we then used qPCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis to determine whether ileal tissue from SAMP mice treated with Splenda would have mucosal-associated dysbiosis and increased bacterial infiltration into deep intestinal layers.

Abstract
Fasting is increasingly popular to manage metabolic and inflammatory diseases. Despite the role that the human gut microbiota plays in health and diseases, little is known about its composition and functional capacity during prolonged fasting when the external nutrient supply is reduced or suppressed. We analysed the effects of a 10-d periodic fasting on the faecal microbiota of fifteen healthy men. Participants fasted according to the peer-reviewed Buchinger fasting guidelines, which involve a daily energy intake of about 1046 kJ (250 kcal) and an enema every 2 d. Serum biochemistry confirmed the metabolic switch from carbohydrates to fatty acids and ketones. Emotional and physical well-being were enhanced. Faecal 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing showed that fasting caused a decrease in the abundance of bacteria known to degrade dietary polysaccharides such as Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae. There was a concomitant increase in Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria (Escherichia coli and Bilophila wadsworthia), known to use host-derived energy substrates. Changes in taxa abundance were associated with serum glucose and faecal branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), suggesting that fasting-induced changes in the gut microbiota are associated with host energy metabolism. These effects were reversed after 3 months. SCFA levels were unchanged at the end of the fasting. We also monitored intestinal permeability and inflammatory status. IL-6, IL-10, interferon Ξ³ and TNFΞ± levels increased when food was reintroduced, suggesting a reactivation of the postprandial immune response. We suggest that changes in the gut microbiota are part of the physiological adaptations to a 10-d periodic fasting, potentially influencing its beneficial health effects.
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.
