[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2567071, member: 41816"] Hi Lamont, good to see you :) Neither I nor my nutritionalist think that the carni diet has compromised my gut biome. It is most likely that the compromisation was done previously (I have a history of several gut upsets dating from travel in Europe and Israel [is Israel Europe?] in my teens and 20s. It is likely that my gut biome has never been ‘right’ since then, with knock on food intolerances and increased susceptibility to further gut upsets (ghiardia and norovirus anyone?) Adopting carnivore (after the ghiardia), helped a great deal to minimise symptoms, and ‘manage’ the situation. However it has done very little to reduce the ongoing gut inflammation or correct the root problem. Introducing (very gradually), the foods I listed above will hopefully create a new gut biome balance that will encourage a thicker mucosal gut layer and more resilient un-inflamed gut lining cells. I currently have gut flora that encourage the development of Crohns and Colitis, and others which actually digest the protective mucosal layer leaving the gut lining exposed -> inflammation. None of them are massively ‘blooming’ but they are present, and making their presences felt. * These bugs may well have been here decades, but 5years of carnivore has not starved them out. All carni has done is to somewhat improve things. The nutritionalist’s thinking is that eating the aforementioned carb-containing plant foods will build colonies of ‘good’ bugs which will overwhelm the ‘bad’ bugs - something that never happened on carnivore. Will it work? Wait and see. :) But in my situation, I’m definitely open to the idea that while carbs don’t offer ME any nutritional benefit, they may well offer my billions of gut bugs a great deal of benefit. * as an aside, I am DELIGHTED to have lab test results saying that I have no lingering ghiardia, zero parasites at all, and zero Candida - which I am sure is the result of eating carni.
