Gut Flora Repopulation

The intestines are stocked with a wide range of bac­te­ria.  Many con­di­tions may dam­age diges­tive sys­tem flo­ra. It is often use­ful to restore gut flo­ra after resolv­ing the issues which caused it to die off in the first place:

• Restore Stom­ach Acid / Betaine How­To
• Stress

This pro­ce­dure often helps to restore diges­tive com­pe­tence as a result of dam­aged bow­el flo­ra. Com­mon process­es that dam­age gut flo­ra:

• Oral Antibi­otics
• Chron­ic Stress that depletes stom­ach acid.

Prin­ci­ples:

• Use spec­tral pro­bi­otics sources which pro­vide as many species as pos­si­ble
• Use mul­ti­ple dos­es over time to enable repop­u­la­tion of the bow­el
• Buffer stom­ach acid to enhance pro­bi­otics sur­vival
• Eat foods which favor flo­ra repro­duc­tion
• Sup­port feed paths, stom­ach, liv­er & pan­creas to pre­pare nutri­ent feed­stock

It may be use­ful to fol­low this pro­gram with a bow­el flo­ra reseed­ing pro­to­col. This involves use of Keifir or yogurt, or pro­bi­otics, over a peri­od of time. Here is a bow­el restock pro­to­col:

• Obtain high grade pro­bi­otics which con­tain a spec­trum of organ­isms. Pure aci­dophilus is help­ful, but the gut has many dif­fer­ent vari­eties.
• Obtain yogurt or prefer­ably Kefir (avail­able at health food stores. Kefir is prefer­able because it has more species of pro­bi­otics avail­able to more com­plete­ly repop­u­late the gut flo­ra).
• Take at least 3 Bil­lion units of pro­bi­otics every ½ hour for three to six hours. Swal­low cap­sules with water with ¼ tsp of bak­ing soda. Bak­ing soda neu­tral­izes stom­ach acid which enables the more organ­isms to sur­vive stom­ach acid.
• Eat yogurt, Kefir, if tol­er­at­ed to sat­is­fy hunger.
• Return to mod­er­ate, easy to digest foods the fol­low­ing day.
