‘Hidden’ bugs in our gut appear key to good health, finds global study - Feddit UK

Lemmy

I must not have these bug because my gut always sore

Same.

I’m almost positive that decades of poverty meals with almost zero nutritional value has decimated my gut microbiome.

Those microbes love potatoes, rice, and bread.

Not that simple. They love carbs. Yet, not just any simple carb like starches or sugars but a specific, complex carbohydrate: cellulose, i.e. fiber, which they break down into sugars that our body can use.

So only brown rice, whole wheat bread, and the skin of potatoes. Potatoes are actually bad for your gut because they are so high in starches.

Otherwise, they love nuts and greens. Ya know, other foods that are high in fiber content.
