Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid that is the main energy source of the colon. It also helps rebuild the gut epithelial cells and removes ammonia. Recent research shows that it triggers the body to remove oxygen in the colon, which is greatly helps control pathogens (beneficial bacteria are anaerobes, they don’t like oxygen). Lacking good bacteria in our colon, such as when we take antibiotics, can lead to an insufficient supply of butyrate.	Butyrate is a short chain fatty acid that is the main energy source of the colon.

. Click here to order Phage Complete. Designed by the author of The Gut Health Protocol specifically with the needs of people experiencing gut issues in mind. See this very detailed white paper for more information.	MIYARISAN clostridium butyricum. This link is to the  eBay.com search function. Most companies are shipping from Japan. A very popular probiotic in Japan for the treatment of clostridium difficile (c.diff) infections. c.butyricum is one of the strains that is suppose to naturally populate the colon and produces butyrate. See Chapter 2, Butyrate for more information.	l-Glutamine is helpful at healing the lining of the gut and permeable (leaky) gut.
This fish oil has no added sugar alcohols (like most capsules do) and has a great lemon flavor.   One teaspoon  contains 1,600 mg of omega-3s, providing 800 mg of EPA and 500 mg of DHA. This is the one we take in our house.	Glycine can be very helpful in moderating inflammation.  See the following article.	Medicinal mushrooms not only help heal the intestinal immune system, but they also provide a very gut friendly PREbiotic food for beneficial bacteria, beta-glucans. Beta-glucans are a resistant polysaccharide; a complex sugar that our good bacteria can consume, but we can not digest and absorb. I recommend 1 tsp /day, at that rate one bag (original flavor) lasts about 80 days. Highly recommended.
Turmeric  has been used to treat gut pain for thousands of years in both Chinese and Indian medicine. Though they may not have known why it worked, they knew that it did. Today science confirms that this ancient therapy works and is discovering the secrets behind its success.	Twice the amount of DHA as EPA. A better source of DHA that promotes gut healing. Distilled so lower in histamines than fish oil.	One of the best Cod Liver Oil's on the market. Plenty of real Vitamin A & D.
Larch Tree Arabinogalactan. See Chapter 2 “Fibers and Resistant Starch”. This soluble fiber is a very important part of The Gut Health Protocol. According to research, this is one of the few fibers that can be used with active SIBO. Helps eliminate ammonia producing bacteria. It is a very slow fermenter, meaning that it does not have time to ferment in the small intestine.	Acacia Senegal - Another slow fermenting soluble fiber; a good fiber choice even with active SIBO.	Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (PHGG). An excellent fiber for feeding good bacteria and producing Butyrate. A relatively slow soluble fiber; this means most of it is fermented in the colon, not the small intestine.
Apple Pectin - A soluble fiber made from apples.	A good fiber for most people, but do not take this one if you have fructose malabsorption. Start at 1/4 tsp, once per day. Work up 1/2 tsp, 2-3 times per day. This fiber  is more expensive than the other fibers but has some unique biological properties; it is the only one found in human breast milk.	An excellent source of fiber and tastes great! Simply sweeten with a little pure stevia. Used in The Gut Health Protocol mixed with other soluble fibers to make a very tasty high fiber drink.
Organic Marshmallow Root Root - A mucogenic used to help heal the lining of the intestine. Should not be used if there is still SIBO or a dysbiosis of the colon. This is because it can allow bacteria and biofilm colonies to hide behind the mucus. See the end of Chapter 2 for more information.	Organic Aloe Vera - Another mucogenic, used to help heal the lining of the intestine. Should not be used if there is still SIBO or a dysbiosis of the colon. This is because it can allow bacteria and biofilm colonies to hide behind the mucus. See the end of Chapter 2 for more information.	High Potency DGL (Licorice) 750 mg - A mucogenic used to help heal the lining of the intestine. Should not be used if there is still SIBO or a dysbiosis of the colon. This is because it can allow bacteria and biofilm colonies to hide behind the mucus. See the end of Chapter 2 for more information.
