Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 >>>>As far as butyrate -- I know someone personally whose gut problems never resolved until she started butyrate *enemas*. The gut loves butyrate! She says it worked like magic. --->oh, wild! i've never heard of that! lol. just googled and found that LEF has butyrate enemas as part of it's recommended protocol for colitis. this article discusses the protocol and the role of butyrate in colonic health: http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag98/may98_colitis.html a few more interesting links on butyrate enemas: Amelioration of dextran sulphate colitis by butyrate; role of heat shock protein 70 and nuclear factor kappa B http://ajpgi.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/00307.2002v1 Effect of topical butyrate on rectal epithelial kinetics and mucosal enzyme activities http://cs.portlandpress.co.uk/cs/094/0671/0940671.pdf oh weird...check this out. here's an alternative to butyrate enemas - this is something you can take orally: clostridium *butyricum*! free full text link included! (i wonder if that's the same strain that causes botulism? when i googled " Clostridium butyricum " i mostly got stuff about it causing botulism, but i didn't see this specific strain mentioned). http://www.springerlink.com/app/home/contribution.asp?wasp=n9alqmtxqjd226vrf l1y & referrer=parent & backto=issue,4,16;journal,38,54;linkingpublicationresult s,1,1 Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.
