Bring on the sauerkraut! For sure. It’s like a garden. It needs more seeds planted (probiotics), good fertilizer (prebiotics), and can get weeds (transient flora). However, there is still much to know. People eating meat only (carnivore diet) have some undeniable benefits but one of my main concerns is that, over time, they will starve out their good flora which may make returning to consumption of non-meat foods challenging. For the most part, my gut patients improve when they eat fermented foods - myself included. 

 This is my experience as well. It seems to be that moderate dietary biases, with preferences for meat and fat with veggies results in wellness. Extremism takes benefits and effectively converts them into liabilities over time. 

 Well said. 

 Thank you.
