Antibiotics can cause nausea, diarrhea and an upset stomach. Dietitians share which foods to eat and avoid to restore a healthy gut and avoid side effects.
When the prebiotic concept was first introduced in 1995, the primary focus was on the effects that prebiotics confer on Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus. [3] [4] [18] With improved mechanistic techniques in recent years, the current prebiotic targets have expanded to a wider range of microbes, including Roseburia spp., Eubacterium spp., Akkermansia spp., Christensenella spp., Propionibacterium ...
Probiotic supplements typically contain between one and ten billion colony-forming units (CFUs) per dose. [42] A higher number of CFUs does not provide additional probiotic effects, but may have unintended consequences of causing digestive discomfort, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. [42] [43]
Bile salt diarrhea can also be a side-effect of gallbladder removal. [1] Bile acid sequestrants are the principal therapy for bile acid-induced diarrhea. [7] [1] Cholestyramine, colestipol and colesevelam have all been used. Doses may not need to be as high as those previously used for hyperlipidemia.
7. Soy Can Affect Fertility in Men. Soy has come a long way. Once dismissed as “hippie food,” today it’s a popular protein alternative for vegetarians and vegans.
Bile salt hydrolases are members of the N-terminal nucleophilic hydrolase family, characterized by autocatalytic activation by an N-terminal nucleophile and subsequent amide bond cleavage. [ 2 ] [ 5 ] The majority of BSH enzymes are composed of homotetramers , although they have been known to assume other forms including homodimers and ...
Bile salt hydrolases (BSH) which are conserved across gut microbiota phyla such as Bacteroides, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria responsible for the first step of secondary bile acids metabolism. [117] Secondary bile acids (BAs) such as DCA and LCA have been demonstrated to inhibit both Clostridioides difficile germination and outgrowth.
B. fragilis utilizes enzymes such as bile salt hydrolase to resist the degrading effects of bile salts. Detergent activity of bile salts can permeabilize bacterial membranes which can eventually lead to membrane collapse and/or cell damage. [4]
