The Role of Fiber in Gut Health
Fiber is identified as a critical component for maintaining gut health, with resistant starches playing a significant role. It passes through the digestive system unchanged, allowing beneficial microbes in the colon to ferment it and produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which supports gut barrier integrity. Unfortunately, studies reveal that a large percentage of people are not consuming adequate fiber, notably 95% in the U.S. This deficiency underscores the need for dietary adjustments to improve gut health and prevent conditions such as SIBO.
