Yeah. There are two other categories of foods that I think are very important. One is prebiotic foods. A prebiotic is basically something that has food for your gut bacteria. That's different from a probiotic, which is like the actual gut bacteria.

So prebiotic foods, I think, should be introduced really upfront in the phase one diet even because there are certain prebiotic foods that most people can tolerate that don't really cause issues. And those are the polyphenol rich foods. So I think prebiotic foods are really key.

That's an even bigger part of the phase two diet because prebiotic foods are how you build the diversity of the microbiome. So then I go through some of the main categories like polyphenols and what are the best fruits and vegetables, what are the the best like nuts and seeds. So there's a lot of literature about the polyphenol content of foods.

So just to take a step back with prebiotic foods, like for example, legumes and beans are a really good source. People with certain conditions like SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, they may not do well on prebiotic foods upfront. So they typically do well on polyphenols, which are the food that's tolerated.

um but then i i really recommend getting resistant starch so there's like three types of resistant starch we can talk about those foods later and then i emphasize inulin so inulin rich foods there's about a dozen inulin rich foods that are really excellent inulin is one of those prebiotics that has a really good research for

Not just gut health, but helping your blood sugar, helping brain health, helping inflammation. So getting inulin-rich foods. And then there are other categories like mushrooms are actually very powerful for healing the gut, powerful prebiotics. So yeah, prebiotic foods is a really huge topic. But then the second big category is fermented foods.

So studies show that fermented foods also reduce inflammation and improve immune markers. So they do improve some of these like cytokines, which are the immune system like messengers. So incorporating both of those is very good for gut healing.
