Supplemental butyrate in the form of tributyrin can be helpful for slowing motility and firming up loose stool, which is useful for people with SIBO-D/IBS-D and some types of gut dysbiosis. It also has metabolic, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits. Learn about the benefits and potential drawbacks of butyrate supplementation.

Lindsey Parsons, your host, helps clients solve gut issues and reverse autoimmune disease naturally. Take her quiz to see which stool or functional medicine test will help you find out what’s wrong.
