Re: Oral Butyrate to treat Crohn's

[Guest guest]

(On 4g per day enteric coated capsules) study concludes: ... " Oral butyrate is

safe and well tolerated, and may be effective in inducing clinical

improvement/remission in Crohn's disease. "

<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16225487>

It is important to note that " butyrate has been around in the mammalian gut for

so long that the lining of our large intestine has evolved to use it as its

primary source of energy " , which blows the theory that fermentation should not

occur in the gut out of the water.
