Additional notes

"Start with 5 grams (1 scoop) mixed in water on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. If tolerated after 1–2 weeks, increase to 5 grams twice daily (morning and between meals or before bed). 8–12 weeks, then reassess. Some people continue 5 g/day for maintenance if helpful. Glutamine is the primary fuel for intestinal cells and supports repair of the gut lining. Supports intestinal barrier health, may reduce intestinal permeability, supports mucosal healing, and may improve digestive comfort. "

Additional notes

"Dose: 1 softgel daily to start Timing: With breakfast or lunch After 1–2 weeks (if well tolerated): Increase to 1 softgel twice daily with meals, if recommended by your clinician or if you're aiming for additional gut support. Taking it with food may: Improve tolerability Reduce the chance of mild stomach upset Make it easier to remember as part of your routine A simple schedule based on your plan Breakfast: Metagenics UltraFlora Spectrum + Tri-Butyrin Supreme Lunch or Dinner (if increasing dose) Second Tri-Butyrin Supreme softgel Later (after 1–2 weeks) Add Sunfiber (PHGG), starting at 2–3 g daily Benefits: Supports the cells lining the colon May help strengthen the gut barrier Has anti-inflammatory effects in the colon May support regular bowel function Option 2: Feed your own butyrate-producing bacteria (essential for long-term benefit) These supplements don't contain butyrate. Instead, they nourish the bacteria that make it. The best-studied option is: Sunfiber® (Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum- PHGG) Typical dosing: Start with 2–3 grams daily Increase gradually to 5–6 grams daily if tolerated PHGG is often better tolerated than inulin or some other prebiotic fibers, especially in people with IBS. I would prioritize: Metagenics UltraFlora Spectrum (8–12 weeks) Designs for Health Tri-Butyrin Supreme Sunfiber (PHGG) added after you've adjusted to the probiotic A gradual increase in fiber-rich foods as tolerated This combination addresses both the immediate need for butyrate and the longer-term goal of encouraging your own microbiome to produce more of it."
