I recently learned about a new approach to a healthy gut called postbiotics. Postbiotics are also known as SCFAs – short chain fatty acids. Simply put, they are the result of bacteria in your gut consuming fiber. (Sort of like bacteria poop… but in a good way). But if you have SIBO, IBS, or microbiome issues, …
