Default Gut Bacteria & The Brain

Very interesting article in treating conditions like autism, depression, and anxiety. The microbes in question are commonly found in store-bought yogurt and other probiotics:

Very compelling that we are starting to understand the keys to supporting good health extending to the brain and behavior. One of the reasons this may not be shouted from the rooftops is that those with money to spend on marketing may perceive this as a weak business model. I understand that, so no judging. There are other ways to increase general awareness. It requires grass roots communication and sharing.

Yup, this was an aspect I discovered when other avenues were less than satisfactory on many levels. Basically I had to find solutions that when stacked together helped my son have a better life.

One step was getting as many different sources of gut microbes, avoid killing them and how to feed them or replenish the population.

Today he functions very well and still growing his interpersonal skills. Having him home this last year has been a bonus. He is better prepared to go off to college in the fall.

I tried once to keep plain, good ingredient yogurt on hand - but I add it to meals so rarely it goes bad and gets thrown out. Used to make kefir - then a batch went bad as I slowed down eating it and I stopped.

I still keep fermented foods handy - kimchi, garlic stuffed olives, sauerkraut.

We freeze extra yogurt. Freezing does not kill the goodness, like heating can.

Put dollops into ice cube trays to freeze, then pop them out into another container. That way you can have a spoonful or two when needed. I do this to always have a starter for when I make my own; 1 or 2 cubes is sufficient for that.

If something can be fermented, and I like it, I make it a staple. Like Italian cold cuts!
