Dietary intake of resistant carbohydrates (dietary fibers) increases the abundance of Eubacterium species, which produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate that reduce gut inflammation and improve metabolic health.
To support your gut health, prioritize foods rich in resistant carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes, and certain fruits. These fibers feed beneficial bacteria like Eubacterium, which produce butyrate to reduce inflammation and support metabolic health. If you are new to high-fiber diets, increase intake gradually to minimize digestive discomfort.
In case of Eubacterium spp., their presence in the gut have been largely associated with increased intake of dietary fibers... Ingestion of dietary fibers have been directly correlated to SCFA concentration and abundance of butyrate producers including Eubacterium spp.
