So sorry to heard that the prebiotics have messed up your gut, but thank you for experimenting with them for all of us. I really enjoy the "nerding" that you do.
I'm glad, because I can't hide the nerdiness LOL 😊
I'm thinking about calling my gut journey -- SIBO: The Musical!! 😅😅😅 It's been an extravaganza, indeed!! Meanwhile,, thank for your help and extensive research, Dr. DiNezza. ❣
Love all your videos, so helpful. How do you search for a specific topic? I'd like to see if you have a video on alleviating mouth dysbiosis.
Doc, you are a legend. I love this so much. Stay awesome!
I’m so excited for updates on this!
I started PHGG based on one of your previous videos it has worked VERY WELL for me, will continue, I'm using SunFiber.
I am using Sun Fiber. I have wet stools, which got worse with antibiotics. My stools are slowly starting to solidify, but still very wet. I take more than 3 times the regular dose.
Which brand of PHGG please?
@@mariyamshafique6262 It's called Sunfiber, I get it from GNC.
It's great to see how it feeds butyrate producers so nicely! I have a question , How is your bifido so good? I've taken antibiotics but not a crazy amount and my bifido is very crappy 😂.Thanks for your experiment!
I'm super astonished by my Bifido lately! I really, truly think that all the good numbers are due to the Glucomannan and the PHGG (usually it's like 0.1%)! That's why I need to re-do the experiment- I think I'll be able to prove this hypothesis if I take it nice and slow and gather more data points along the way.
Hi Dr DiNezza! I’ve been taking a tablespoon of crushed linseed as well as a capsule of L.plantarum each day for almost a decade for IBS. They’ve done wonders for me, however I feel it’s time to try something new. How would you recommend transitioning to PHGG? Can linseed and L.plantarum be taken alongside it? I should also mention that a -mab i started take for eczema one year ago can deplete goblet cells.
What is your opinion of Metamucil? I have never heard of Glucomannan. Do you recommend it for mild constipation?
Very interesting data. I tried PHGG a while back but even a small amount made my constipation much worse. Theoretically it made good sense to try taking. Maybe I’ll look more into the Glucomannan. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Phgg isn’t a good idea for constipation because it’s a fine powder and viscosity. Might want to try something like whole psyllium husk.
You are so awesome. I have learned more from you than anyone! What fiber should we be using that is the least risky?
So interesting, thanks for experimenting and educating!!! I’ve never heard of glucomannan, I’ll have to check it out and watch your previous video. I use PHGG I think it impacts my constipation.
Does the PHGG help you with constipation, Laura?
@@briannemorgan1 Mine worse
Did you ever do the second experiment? I can’t find a video of yours on it
I have a really important question! I’m colonized with mold in my gut and need to know if sunfiber can be taken? I haven’t been eating fiber because apparently carbs and sugar feed mold, but my microbiome is so messed up! Is sunfiber safe? Will it feed mold or candida in my body?
Eu também tenho problema com candida e não me adaptei ao PHGG, me deixou mais constipado! Apesar que era sunfiber e acredito que eles misturam PHGG com acacia gum.
I have a question for constant diarrhea can I take glucomanan fiber even if that one is to lose weight and I have lost a lot of weight because of the diarrhea and also want to know the difference between taking PHGG supplement versus the glucomanan for diarrhea and I appreciate so much that you shared your experiences with us when you took both fibers, you are the best!
This is very interesting!! Thanks for sharing your results. So basically, we could say PHGG can potentially help with dysbiosis flora.
What is your hypothesis on PHGG's impact on candida/fungal overgrowth? I'd love to hear what you think!,
Yep! We kind of knew that, but it's nice to see it confirmed and see the effect on the Butyrate producers. And good question! I'd imagine anything that can feed the good bacteria inhibits Candida along the way.
You are inspiring me to give gluccomannen a try. I've been taking PHGG for about a year now. It took six months but now my diarrhea has changed to constipation. For me, constipation is not debilitating like diarrhea, but I'd really like to be regular, you know?
Give it a try! I really loved Glucomannan. Big fluffy logs, I tell you! Big. Fluffy. Logs.
Hi Dr. Dinezza! What are your thoughts on megaprebiotic by microbiome labs?
do you use a bidet before wiping? I always toilet inbuilt bidet and then a toilet paper wipe. we all should use bidets as just tissue wipes are not good enough.
Love Dr DiNezza! thought - maybe worth looking at blood type to find out more about gut microbiome as different blood types show different types of digestion and absorption. As a bloody type O with no appendix (necessary to maintain gut flora) I have a kinesiologist check me now and again for probiotics - different ones needed at different times. Also I take glutamate when needed as other health issues forced me to use NSAIDs which are suppose to be OK but actually damage the gut - resulting in a flare up of diverticulosis. The flare up was fixed after a few days.
Worth seeing if you have the FUT2 gene mutations too
Where do we find the normal range levels for these bacteria? I did my test with Ombré as well. But I cant tell the normal range for these bacteria. Pl let us know how to find the normal range. Is there a website that we can refer these to? Thanks!
You don’t mention your dosing for this phgg?
Just finished this video and your glucomanannan video, I have said this before but you are literally the best on the internet! I did a 3 week gut sealing protocol using apple peel and hmo prebiotic(Joel Greene) My gut has been jacked since. Chronic floating loose poops. I had been hydrogen sibo symptom free for about 8 months prior but was trying to achieve those dream Bristol poops. My Genova stool test showed me elevated in some methane producers, desulfovibrio and citrobacter braakii but nothing too crazy before I did the HMO. Never consipated. I’m saying all of this to get your opinion on HMO prebiotics….wondering what on earth happened. I did the protocol in July.
That's so strange! Supposedly HMO/2FL only feeds Bifido. That's actually the next and final prebiotic in this round of the experiment, so stay tuned!
How are you calculating what is one and two standard deviations if you do not have a lot of data?
Can we use this whilst having SIBO?
Is it important to start slow and a lower dose with PHGG?
When healing our gut, how do we change "what's normal" for our baseline long term?
For example, if our baseline is an imbalanced gut currently and we want a healed gut baseline to be the norm for ourselves again?
I'm not sure I understand the question. I think you're asking how to get long-term changes in the microbiome? If that is the question, it's still the usual suspects (probiotics, prebiotics, food, sleep, exercise), just for a longer duration than what I've done here. The real key to long-term changes seems to be dietary diversity, though. Particularly, diversity in the plants you eat.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen Thank you so much! I recently started a meal order plan with Daily Harvest (plant based organic delivery) and I do think it's helping.
Will dig into more consistent prebiotic and probiotic usage. :)
@@mcjackspaz I've heard good things about Daily Harvest!
@@gutmicrobiomequeen plants are the worst enemy for me
Hi! What is your dosage of glucomannan :)?
Does anyone know how to administer phgg.. do you take before meals? After meals? Before bed or when you first wake up?
I say take it with or near meals. Since prebiotics are normally a part of food, so it makes sense that they'd work best if taken with food.
You have a prevotella copri overgrowth - its implicated in fungal colonization!
I had this too my main gut bacteria was prevotella was 23% but my real problem was i never bifidobacteria (makes Gaba)
I don't think my Prevotella are a bad thing though! They're generally more favorable/friendly than Bacteroides. It's just Prevotella copri that we think can be problematic at this point.
Is there any difference between ACACIA and PHGG - both are Arabic gum right? Can we expect same outcome?
They're different. I don't know the chemical/molecular differences, but they are definitly different products.
@@gutmicrobiomequeen true.. based on your experience, what is your opinion on mixing prebiotics (e.g. PHGG, ACIACIA)? Do you think it would provide another effect on the microbiome compared to taking them alone?
@@montaniros9918 Do you mean physically mixing them together and taking them that way VS. taking them at different times of day? Or are you asking about using one or the other VS using both?
@@gutmicrobiomequeen I am referring to the use case where one consumes both at once (e.g. every morning with water), compared to taking one in the morning followed by the second at night, or alternate day. The rationale is whether consuming multiple prebiotics at the same time (assuming they are fermented at the same time in the large intestine) will invoke competition between microbes, and hence provide other result to alternate-day/morning-night.
@@montaniros9918 ok, gotcha. That's what I thought you were asking, but I wasn't sure.
I haven't read read human studies that suggests that doing this is advantageous. But, admittedly, I haven't really looked for this specifically!
I take phgg and acacia fiber and they both help with constipation...but i still dont have good digestion. Have low hcl especially in the morning, had h pylori..seems i have a fungal issue and sib
Phgg is not a good choice for constipation. Want something with more insoluble fiber
PHGG worsened my constipation a lot
How does one get this type of testing done ?! 😮
It's called Ombre 😀
So sunfiber did not work for you?
What kind of stool test are you doing?
Your awesome
What about psyllium husk?
Google doesn't say too much about pylium fiber says it doesn't feed that many good bacteria neither the bad but idk I get bloated on it and gassy. It works for motility although. She speaks on it a little in her probiotics and fiber video
You should probably add more people than just you when you redo this experiment if you want any kind experiment that approaches real information.
Agreed, but as it is I've spent $3,000 USD on Ombre kits for just me, so I'm gonna need to rake in more UA-cam ad revenue or get more support on Patreon if I'm gonna make that happen 😂😂
This is a case study
Nonetheless thank you for your efforts. Grateful to see your experience.
Considering that you are not a Petri dish, a scientific study on yourself would be impossibly difficult to have a proper set of controls. There are so many possible contributing factors…bacteria are everywhere, on everything that we eat, breathe, and touch…even things like temperature, the phase of the moon could possibly have an effect. All the statistical significance differences would seem to be meaningless. I do admire your inquisitive nature… good luck❤
It's bananas to even attempt this, but I figure if not me, then who? 😉
Have you never heard of a single person case study before??????
@@Lia-qv4hr I don't know if it was intentional or not, but your comment comes off as a bit rude. I want to be clear that single person case studies (or, as I referred to it, an "N = 1" experiment) won't necessarily translate to the general population, and you all need to do your own experimentation still.
I think the foods she's eating will probably affect the outcome more than anything, unless you're just eating the same thing every day. Sorry if you said that and I missed it.
@@christianthames2302 I eat fairly similarly from week to week, so I don't know if that's going to skew the data much. I agree that our food choices are the single biggest influence on our gut microbiota, though!
