Ombre's Food RecommendationsUpdated a year ago

The food recommendations are based on peer-reviewed studies that show associations between specific bacteria and specific foods. Depending on deficiencies/overgrowth within each gut microbiota analysis, specific foods that have been shown to help modulate that bacteria will be presented within recommended foods to incorporate and recommended foods to avoid. High meat and fat diets can increase inflammatory bacteria which can have a negative effect on the gut biome and beneficial bacteria growth, therefore (depending on the sample presented) a strong plant-based diet at times is recommended. The vegetables, fruits, and legumes such as lentils, chickpea, and beans are high in carbohydrates. Additionally, legumes and nuts, and seeds are very high in protein as well. Should you need to increase specific macronutrients such as additional animal protein, occasional consumption would be a better option over daily consumption. Occasional consumption of chicken/turkey/fish would be the better option over red meats which have been shown to increase some inflammatory bacteria.
