Energy balance

Eubacterium species, particularly E. rectale and E. hallii, play a protective role in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) by producing butyrate, which reduces inflammation and improves intestinal barrier integrity.

If you have IBD, maintaining a diet rich in resistant carbohydrates can help support Eubacterium species, which produce butyrate to reduce inflammation and support gut barrier integrity. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.

GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
a decrease in the relative proportion of E. hallii, E. rectale, and E. ventriosum has been noted in centenarians... The proportion of butyrate producers including Eubacterium spp. in the gut are consistently reduced in IBD subjects.
