Ein wenig bekannter Methan produzierender Darmmikroorganismus, der Methan produziert, könnte eine Rolle dabei spielen, wie viele Kalorien Sie aus Ihrer Nahrung aufnehmen

>The study found that people whose gut microbiomes produce a lot of methane are especially good at unlocking extra energy from a high-fiber diet. This may help explain why different individuals get different amounts of calories from food that makes it to the colon.

>The researchers note that high-fiber diets are not the villain here. People absorb more calories overall from a Western diet of processed foods, regardless of methane production. On a high-fiber diet, people absorb fewer calories overall — but the amount varies according to methane production.

A methane maker that makes methane is making methane oh man is it making it!
So farting is….. good?
The fartmonster! They found it!
Wife’s farts stink. Mine almost never do. We eat the same foods for the most part. I wonder if this could have something to do with the difference between us?
As someone who suffered from intestinal methanogenic overgrowth and struggled to keep on weight and absorb vitamins for years, I just want to put in my two-cents here. Until I got diagnosed by my gastro with a SIBO tri-gas test, she had me tested for all sorts of diseases because I had developed so many food intolerances and dealt with constant pain, gas, and constipation that made it difficult to eat at all. Most vegetables as well as wheat, dairy, and some meats became off-limits due to the insane bloating and pain they gave me. I relied heavily on zucchini, rice, and chicken with my meals as symptoms worsened and made it impossible to tolerate more and more foods. I felt like I was starving no matter how much I ate, and struggled to stay over 100 lbs.
After treatment with metronidazole and rifaximin, I was finally able to eat normally again. Being able to eat wheat and dairy again without intense pain and bloating has allowed me to put on a little more weight, and made eating in general a lot simpler. My vitamin D levels went from deficient to 55 ng/mL in two months after the antibiotics; I had been supplementing for years and could not get myself in a healthy range. My gastro was convinced I had a much more serious illness because of how bad my malabsorption was, but it seems like it was all an overgrowth of methanogenic archaea after all.
Makes me wonder how we would be affected if some of our microbes made oxygen from oxy-bonded molecules like CO2, not photosynthesis, just oxygen as a bi-product of its processes. I mean yeah we might have more oxygen in our bloodstream but, like, would gaseous oxygen in the gut be bad?
