| What investigations do we conduct for suspected Dysbiosis? | Function digestive stool analysis Urinary indicans Hydrogen breath test |
| How do you treat dysbiosis? | Identify and treat the cause |
| How do you treat dysbiosis? | Eradicate undesirable micro-organisms -stimulate immune defences - slgA to prevent adherence of antigens -Increase population of probiotics - competitive inhibition -decrease stress response |
| How to treat dysbiosis | Maintain health luminal environment -Regulate bowel motility -Stimulate digestive secretions -Supply of probiotic bacterial to produce SCFAs to decrease colonic luminal pH |
| How to treat Dysbiosis | Repair and maintain intestinal mucosa health -Epithelial barrier integrity - support epithelial cell proliferation and tight junctions -Remove substances which damage the epithelial lining |
| What are the holistic considerations for Dysbiosis? | Effect on immune system function - including upregulation of inflammation Microbial imbalance in other systems - genitourinary Effect of stress |
| How do you treat Dysbiosis? | Increase unrefined carbohydrates -Rich source of nutrients including fibre |
| How to treat dysbiosis? | Increase dietary fibre - High fibre and resistant starch - accelerates bowel transit time, increases production of SCFA's - decreases luminal pH and prevents overgrowth of opportunistic bacteria |
| How to treat dysbiosis? | Reduce refined carbohydrates |
| How to treat dysbiosis? | Reduce sources of sulfites |
| How to treat dysbiosis? | Reduce excess animal protein |
| How to treat dysbiosis? | Colostrum - antibodies - decrease adherence of microbes to mucosa. |
| What supplements can we use to treat dysbiosis? | Lactoferrin - is a protein which binds to iron making it unavailable to microbes, inhibits inflammatory cytokines |
| What supplements can we use to treat dysbiosis? | Garlic because it is antimicrobial |
| What supplements can we use to treat Dysbiosis? | Caprylic acid - This is a medium chained triglyceride derived from coconut oil. It decreases candida and fungal growth. |
| What supplements can we use to treat dysbiosis? | Gamma oryzanol (rice bran oil derivative) It is an antioxidant and has antifungal properties. |
| What supplements can we use to treat Dysbiosis? | Probiotics |
| What supplements can we use to treat dysbiosis? | Probiotics -eg inulin, fructooligosaccharide, galactooligosaccharide, xylooligosaccharide, isomaltooligosaccharide and lactulose |
| What supplements can we use to treat Dysbiosis? | Glutamine To help heal gut epithelial lining and increase slgA |
| What supplements can we use to treat Dysbiosis? | EFA's may increase adherence of probiotics |
| How can we treat Dysbiosis? | Leaky gut protocol Hypochlorhydria and pancreatic insufficiency protocol Stress reduction |
