I'm sorry you're having a rough time. 😟

I started making #yoghurt early this year. I got a dried Bulgarian starter from Amazon, and the resulting yoghurt didn't agree with me at all. Then I used a live yoghurt from the supermarket (Yeo Valley, if anyone's keeping score) and it really helps my digestion. However, I've no idea what #bacteria are in it or how many strains there are; I just know it helps.

It sounds as if you've spent a lot of time researching this. Do you mind if I ask where you get your starters? I'd be interested in finding out what you know.

TB bacteria can play dead to outlast the immune response, study reveals

A vaccine protects more than 100 million infants each year from severe tuberculosis (TB), including the fatal brain…

#COVIDvaccine technology adapted to develop first #mRNA defense against #antibioticresistant #bacteria
#Vaccine developed by team is an mRNA-based vaccine delivered via lipid nanoparticles, similar to #COVID19vaccine. However, mRNA vaccines are typically effective against #viruses — not bacteria like the plague... In 2023, researchers developed a unique method for producing the bacterial protein within a human cell in a way that prompts #immunesystem to defend against it.

A scientific study has found that certain gut bacteria in our digestive system can actually 'soak up' forever chemicals. This can then allow those chemicals to be excreted out in our poo. Forever chemicals, PFAS for short, have been linked with several health conditions including cancer. It is hoped that further study may help the creation of probiotic dietary supplements and that they will provide some protection for us.

News-Medical · Researchers find gut bacteria rapidly soak up ‘forever chemicals’Scientists have demonstrated that select human gut bacteria can bioaccumulate and sequester PFAS ‘forever chemicals’, increasing faecal excretion in humanized mice. The findings reveal a potential microbiome-based strategy to reduce PFAS body burden, though clinical benefit in humans remains unproven.
