Resistance Starch?

Listening to a podcast today I came across "Resistance Starch". Apparently it's found in green bananas and uncooked potatoes and it'a a prebiotic - doesn't get digested in the small intestine and goes to the colon where it becomes available for the colon bacteria to consume. Supposed to be very effective for healing colon....

Anyone with any more info/experience to share??

Hey SM, yup there have been plenty of posts about it on here. Sometimes people are calling it RS for short, so maybe search both RS and resistant starch.

Thanks SN. Yeah, lot of info posted on this. Sounds interesting. My challenge is how to fit into my paleo lifestyle.. Well, I do eat some rice occasionally, so may be that's a good starting point. And green bananas?? hmm....

I have settled on the Navy Beans, they are highest in RS and work for me. Studies show high protein diet thins mucosal layer while RS thickens it.

Eat beans with your meat.

I'm going the navy bean route as well. Mostly baked beans which taste fine cold right out of the fridge. I do pork n beans as well. I occasionally throw in a green banana some mornings. Not sure how much it helps but so far my pred taper seems to be going better since I started it

Umm pretty sure I woke myself up a few times last night lol. Really though I don't think it made my gas any worse that this UC already has.
