Excellent information! Thank you!

[@UsefulDonkey99]

Thank you for this video!

[@zmartz50]

Great video! I love bananas and plantains and they are fantastic for digestion

[@DrChristianson]

thanks!

[@Anna-of9kk]

You mention 8000 mg a couple times a day. Could you give an example of what to consume in a day to achieve that amount please? Is it really just one potato or one plantain per day? I’ll get into it if I can grasp this.

[@acherry510]

Would you say that Butyrate, along with gut healing ( fermented foods, pre biotics, probiotics) can heal the gut/ immune system enough to reverse food allergies?

[@DrChristianson]

It may. Some do find that it can.

[@tiabell8870]

Does it in cholesterol

[@tiabell8870]

Does it increase cholesterol

[@tiabell8870]

Does this increase your cholesterol

[@DrChristianson]

No, RS does not increase cholesterol.

Hi, I am trying tributyrin? Does it help? 500mg

[@mark3158274]

Me too

[@Followthechariot]

I bought the one without magnesium stearate which irritates the lining of the stomach.

[@DrChristianson]

@@Followthechariot my friend Chris wrote a good article of debunking this concern: chriskresser.com/harmful-or-harmless-magnesium-stearate/

[@Followthechariot]

@@DrChristianson Thank you! I'll check it out!

[@mark3158274]

So Dr. Alan can you tell me what is Tri- Butyrin ? Thank you!

[@DrChristianson]

Sure. It is a butyric acid supplement. It turns out that taking butyric acid orally is a less effective way to raise one's butyrate than by encouraging one's own gut flora to make by providing resistant starch.

[@TheSilverlover999]

Hi Dr. can i combine this with colostrum?

[@DrChristianson]

no harm in doing so. Many do.

[@gerifiu5485]

8gramms of butyrate/ day? OMG

[@UsefulDonkey99]

I attempt to get 30 grams of fiber per day! Beans, oats, seeds, nuts, greens, fruits, cruciferous vegetables. Not saying I have perfect health but consider this long term.

[@DrChristianson]

that's an excellent target!

[@MrWentru]

its only for healthy people , for me opposite i can’t eat all of this food

[@inthevortex-de1rh]

All those " resistance starches" still spike your sugar. I tried all of them and still elevated my glucose levels way too much. I try to eat foods that don't do that. I don't want to be releasing tons of insulin and become insulin resistant 😮

[@DrChristianson]

RS has been studied and found to lower most users' insulin output and blood sugar levels. They are not carbohydrates.

[@Alexander-rq9he]

I want to order your RS Complete but I’m only able to eat lettuce and cucumbers due to food intolerances. I have reactions to potatoes. I’m afraid to try it even though it sounds exactly what I need. Would I be putting the cart before the horse?

[@DrChristianson]

Some do well by taking small amounts (even ⅛ tsp) at first and gradually working up. Lettuce and cucumber are not enough!

[@therealsugarking]

30 bananas a day banana and dates smoothies Steamed potato’s and veggies

[@EarmuffHugger]

GF/GF & goat butter has loads of butyrate.

[@DrChristianson]

did you hear this from the video? "To get 8000 mg of butyrate, you’d need to eat 1/2 pound (2 sticks) of butter each day."
