Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are toxins found inside gram negative bacteria within the gut. It is released when the bacteria die. Within the gut, LPS can have numerous consequences relating to Irritable Bowel Syndrome and food intolerances. LPS can enter he blood and travel around the body, also having the ability to cause a range of issues. Here are some of the effects LPS can have on the body:
So what can you do to reduce gram negative bacteria and LPS, and improve your gut health? The first steps are to identify how your diet and lifestyle could be influencing dysbiosis. I have a resource HERE to help you with this. Then, in addition to addressing any likely contributing lifestyle issues, ensure your diet is supportive of nurturing beneficial bacteria by avoiding / limiting inflammatory foods, and increasing cultured foods, prebiotic fibres and antioxidants. A good quality diet with adequate amounts of key nutrients to support a healthy functioning digestive system, such as sodium, zinc, vitamin A and omega-3s, is also important. Often, if dysbiosis is bad, I have a few favourite supplements I use with my clients to support change in the gut faster. Want help bringing everything together and having a plan to follow?
