Sodium Butyrate
Recently saw a post praising Sodium Butyrate as effective for diarrhea and constipation in microscopic colitis. The brand was Body Bio. Supposed to help heal the gut and decrease bloating, support digestion and relieve gas. They call it the Ultimate Postbiotic. No hidden additives and non- GMO. Anyone familiar with this?

Re: Sodium Butyrate
Lots of supplements will make claims to heal the gut - and yes sodium Butyrate is one ingredient that will help with that
My observations since having LC - NO ONE ingredient will heal the gut. It takes a combo of things
if you are still consuming or having contact with high inflammation triggers no supplement will heal the gut.
The cells need a multitude of nutrients to heal.
Of note, with right foods our bodies can produce Sodium Butyrate
eg consumption of vegetables and resistant starches like boiled potatoes and rice
Bananas also are beneficial
In my early stages of healing of MC and my go to when poorly - rice and chicken cooked in bone broth. do not rinse rice

Re: Sodium Butyrate
Thanks for your thoughts Gabes. I am doing pretty well after my second flare in February 2023. Have had a few looser stools lately but think some lectins might be the problem. So have eliminated some of the problems. So, back to white rice, bananas cooked apples and moving carefully. This web site has been a life saver for me. The doctors don't understand how to help with this condition. So grateful for all the extensive and helpful suggestions to help heal. You are all amazing.
