Butyrate Has anyone tried it?

Hello it was recommended by someone on this site that I try something called Butyrate.

Has anyone tried it or had any success with it?

Currently on Prednisone 35 mg tapering 5 mg a week
1xvsl
phyllum husk 2 scoops mixed with water.
Asacol 4.8g

Thanks in advance for any information

Hi Bez,

I do not personally supplement with Butyrate, but have considered it because of all the research supporting it's benefits to the healing and transit process within the colon.

The predisone is acting as a crutch for the inflammatory and mucosal healing process in your body at the moment, but as you taper off, it is important to prepare the body to take over the process.

Done in moderation, I think butyrate supplementation is a good idea and I might add it to my supplements soon.

Hi there sorry been away for a couple of days. Thank you all for your responses.

Gary total agree with what you are saying but I have only just gone in remission in the last two weeks since being on the pred and upping my Asacol to 4.8g.

I am just wandering as I tapper my pred by 5mg a week if I should introduce Butyrate slowly I am currently taking VSL 1 sachets a day and having two scoops of phyllum husk mixed with water every day.

I think I will see how I go until I am at 20mg of pred and then I might introduce it slowly 1 capsule with each meal.

I also understand what YellowJacket has suggested and that it is important for the body to take over the healing process as I tapper the pred.

Ewa is Debuitir another name for Butyrate? and if so are you having some good results with it?
