Gut Bifidobacteria Populations in Human Health and Aging
-
Living streams bifido was the brand promoted by Patrick Timpone. Does anyone use it, or use it to seed a yogurt?

@Sunniva - I use a blend of bifidobacteria to seed my initial batch ofyogurt.

Thank you
.You make the L. Reuteri also.
Do you cycle them?
Do they co-exist? -

Do they co-exist?I make them separately. I mix the ingredients in a big bowl and then use a funnel to transfer the mixture into 3 Mason jars. I place the jars into the pot that I use.
You could simultaneously ferment two different bacteria together or in separate Mason jars, I prefer to keep the bacteria separate because one may out compete that other over time. Even though they may start as a 50-50 mixture, after several batches of using the previous batch as feedstock the ratio may drift away from being equal amounts of each.

@DavidPS
But you consume both yogurts daily?
You don't alternate weeks, for example. -

Yes, most days. Dr. Davis has written a book entitled "Supergut". The front cover of the book suggests that microbiome can be restored in 4 weeks.
After 4 weeks of daily consumption, having yogurt 2-3 times a week is needed to maintain the microbiome.

@DavidPS I had not heard of the book. Thank you for mentioning it.
Do you think you have had improvements you would attribute to the yogurt?

Yes. In 2010, I suddenly became very sensitve to nightshades. I have avoided all nightshade since then. I am even sensitive to small amounts of paprika that is used in seasoning. A few months after eating L. reuteri and bifidobacteria yogurts, I decided to test my sensitivity. I ate 3 pieces of homemade pizza and I had no adverse reaction.
It is difficult to recolonize the gut. It has been suggested that it may take 2 or 3 years before the changes to the microbiome become permanente. Until then the L. reuteri and bifidobacteria are just transient bacteria and they will disappear after a few weeks.

S2099 Persistent Damage to the Gut Microbiome Following Messenger RNA SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine
We longitudinally recorded the relative abundance of genus Bifidobacteria in 4 subjects before receiving mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna), approximately one month after vaccine, and 6 to 9 months later. Additional SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were given during that period, totaling 2 to 3 doses. Samples were collected at the timepoints mentioned. There were no diet changes or new medication’s during the entire period and subjects were told to stay on the same regimen throughout the 6 months. Metagenomic next generation sequencing-based methods were applied to samples obtained from fecal collection. DNA was extracted, and the library prepped, enriched and sequenced on an Illumina Nextseq 550 system. Relative abundance of Bifidobacteria decreased after 1 month to in 3 of 4 subjects to: 38%, 258%, 49% and 90% of pre-vaccine levels. After 6-9 months, all Bifidobacteria relative abundance decreased to: 15%, 0%, 35%, and 60% of pre-vaccine levels.

Bifidobacteria is considered a keystone ins\testial species and its propulations appear to decline with age.
I have been supplementing with the probiotic Bifidobacterium Infantis in the hope of restoring more youthful levels of the bacteria. I have not tested my levels of Bifidobacterium Infantis so I do not know if it works. The thread has some information about it helping with digestion.
