Pescatarian DietUpdated a year ago

The food recommendations are based on peer-reviewed studies that show associations between specific bacteria and specific foods. Dependent on deficiencies/overgrowth's within each gut microbiota analysis, specific foods that have 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 has a negative effect on the gut biome and beneficial bacteria growth therefore dependent on the sample presented, more of a plant-based diet is recommended. Based on the bacteria found (deficiencies/overgrowths) most dietary protein is presented within turkey, quail, oysters, legumes, nuts, and seeds. 


Occasional consumption of protein sources within the avoidance list (try to avoid red meat as it can increase pro-inflammatory bacteria) would not modulate the beneficial bacteria too drastically. Food items not found within the avoidance/recommended list either have not shown an effect on the specific bacteria you are deficient/overgrown in or have not been presented within the research.
