Great finding as always @guitarman01 ! I rotate Align (B. Infantis) and other D-Lactate Free probiotics now. I’ve only used the 1 billion cfu version so far but reading through those studies makes me want to pop it like candy as you said I was low in bifidobacteria (1% whereas healthy average was 1.7% according to Thryve). Being on B. Infantis + L. Rhamnosus GG have calmed down gut inflammation. I say so because longstanding symptoms of mast cell stimulation disorder (MCS) have been greatly attenuated. Food sensitivities have improved too.
I’m painstakingly researching ways to boosting Tregs and modulate gut microbiome in such a way the immune system is better functioning.
I had (microbiome analysis done in August 2020):
- Zilch Lactobacillus
- Low Bifidobacteria
- Low E. Coli
- Very high D-Lactate
- Low Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes ratio (1.5:1 & healthy ave. 2.1:1)
- Low Akkermansia
- Low roseburia
- Low eubacterium
- Lowish bacteroides
And god knows what else!
