Reply to comment by messopotatoesmia in Gut Microbes Influence Binge-Eating of Sweet Treats in Mice by econoblossomist

>Medicine doesn't generally follow an obvious or scientific path. Often it's just trial and error and see what works.

Ah! You're getting closer! But you don't need to completely wing it with trial and error. Protein. Complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates.

You have a craving for sweets. Should you feed those little gut microbes that love sweets? Or should you starve the little buggers to reduce their numbers...and, therefore reduce your appetite for sweets.

Getting closer to what? Are you sure you're replying to the right person?

Realistically, it's not macros. For prebiotics you want to focus on food sources of inulin, pectin, flavonoids and sauerkraut. Maybe l-Glutamine too.

Too complicated. (Assuming you have a kitchen but not a laboratory.)

No, it's really not.

Oranges. Apples. Onions. Cranberries. Blueberries. Sauerkraut.

L-Glutamine you can buy from Amazon.

Done.
