Resistant starch butyrate soil-based organisms blah blah blah... the real question is, how did Dr. Liu learn telepathy??

[amandacrameri]

The phone connection cut out intermittently and I could not hear a lot of her key ideas. Also careful Dave- don't answer your guests questions, you took over and Grace did not finish some ideas. Great content, just wish I could hear better.

Dave, great episode, however half Dr.Liu's answers were missed, you should start using Google Hangouts instead, quality is SO MUCH better, even on slow connections, IME

[christophereden]

Can anyone please help me I️ couldn’t make out the recommended probiotics would greatly appreciate that.

[CharlesHaine]

I'd love some links to where some of the microbiome/parasite tests are available: I know you like WellnessFX, but they do mainly blood work, and it seems like having a good baseline on where you are would be helpful before experimenting with things like RS.

[LadyRuc]

Connection could have been better.  Many answers were missed due to lack of clarity in the phone connection...Would have also been nice to mention her blog and the gentlemen Richard'a blog that you referenced several times.

Also, does anyone know if Ruminococcus bromii is an obligate anaerobe? Can it be taken up through the environment or is it gone forever once it's gone from the gut? I would think most of the gas would come from people who lack this little guy since it's a keystone species involved in the degradation of RS.

[alexanderhardy]

can anyone give me some information regarding the cecum being a bacterial reservoir? I can't find any information on this for some reason, but it sounds interesting. Would this perhaps enable us to repopulate our gut with bacteria that have been wiped out in all other areas of the gut by antibiotics?

best podcast ever. Hands down my fav BPE show so far.

[JuliaTulipan]

great podcast! Dave, I didn't get the name of the parasite you had. The one that made you get lovehandles. Could you please tell me the name and is there a specific test one can do? thanx a lot
