Reduce proteobacteria

You can try increasing your fiber intake and also take a probiotic like cardioviva. That strain of reuteri helps reduce the bad guys and the fiber increases the population of butyrate producing bacteria. My proteobacteria levels were at 12% in October when I was in the midst of a full blown flare. I sent another test in last week, curious to see how the numbers have changed.

My flare stopped because of the meds more than anything else. I was taking cardioviva when the flare started andhad been for several months. The only funky thing in my uBiome results was the elevated proteobacteria, everything else was really normal.
I take potato starch (as a prebiotic) and psyllium seed powder and psyllium husk powder. I also eat a lot of beans when not flaring.

So here's my thought: SOME people with UC have increased Proteobacteria (mine was at 15%)
Are there others on this forum who did either uBiome or American Gut project who did NOT have a significant increase in Proteobacteria? If so, what was that profile like? Would this be a way to distinguish among the different types of UC? At this point I believe they realize that IBD is not just the two diseases (UC and Crohns) but more likely we are just being lumped together based on symptoms alone. Would be nice to see which drugs worked for those that had higher Proteobacteria vs a different gut profile. Also, would be nice to see microbiome profiles for IBD for those who were former smokers or had second-hand smoke. I asked the 23andme folks if they were collaborating in anyway with any of the microbiome studies and they said no. WHAT?!?!?! Why not? They should be!
