All About Probiotics, Prebiotics – Synbiotics
When you are navigating the holistic options for your Autistic child, one of the most popular ones is pre-biotics, also used in the famous Nemechek Protocol. However as you delve deeper into the integrative medicine, you get to learn all the different ways you can improve gut health.
Let’s do a quick review of the prebiotic to probiotic to postbiotic process, if you are new to this !
Prebiotics: We consume prebiotic fiber. Prebiotic foods include vegetables like onions, garlic, leafy greens, root vegetables; fruits like bananas, apples and oranges; starches like potatoes; and grains like rice and quinoa. These foods are ideal for beneficial bacteria to initiate the fermentation process.
Probiotics: These prebiotic foods provide fuel for our probiotic bacteria in the gut. Probiotics ferment prebiotic foods to make various metabolites, depending on the type of bacteria. For example, certain probiotic strains make butyrate, which we naturally call butyrate-producing bacteria.
Postbiotics: Probiotics produce postbiotics, such as SCFAs. The end result of bacterial fermentation is a postbiotic. In the case of SCFAs, they may have several potential health benefits, including maintaining and strengthening the gut wall itself.* This leads to a virtuous cycle where postbiotics maintain homeostasis in the gut, so probiotics can continue making more postbiotics, and so on.
Synbiotics: The term “synbiotics” refers to supplements that contain a blend of both probiotics and prebiotics, and they are a relatively new concept. Synbiotic products can both increase the gut’s beneficial bacteria and the fuel they need to thrive. Because synbiotics offer this complete package, studies show promising health results, such as significant improvement in digestive health, immune function, mental and emotional wellbeing, weight management, heart health, improved lipid profile, and a normal inflammatory response
