Just wondering. > >Darrell If it promotes longer viili, that's exactly what it would mean. Like, it suppresses bacteria that might damage the villi, or creates enzymes that digest the peptides that promote antibody production, or they glom onto the villi and protect them. Basically atrophied villi regenerate FAST if they can, but continiued dysbiosis and antibody attacks prevent their growth in a lot of people. Sounds like in chickens, the L. reuteri work by suppressing pathogens. Heidi Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
