Hi All
I've been going through an email that was sent to me by the company that carried out my Gut Biome test and they have recommended consuming Fermented Soy. I have had a look online and find it confusing; I found a powder that was on Amazon and some of the reviews said it tasted awful. The company have suggested Miso, would you just add Miso to your cooking?
I'm new to using ingredients like this hence posing the question.
Thank you 
Hi Crazyfitness I have been using miso for years barley, rice and white miso which is lighter and sweeter. I add the miso to my soups and stews once in the bowl. I do not cook it because it then loses its benefits. I use the white miso also in dressings. Yum! I am UK based and get a wonderful tasting fermented tofu called Feto which I dry bake and serve with a sauce. Good luck. 😊
Hi Brightfeather
Thank you for that, it's really helpful. I do have some miso in the cupboard and really didn't know what to do with it.
Once again, thank you.
Alicia
Thanks Brightfeather!👍
Hi Alicia, I use miso paste sometimes and I just mix it in with a gravy or sauce but don't use too much as it has a very strong taste. I bought some Miso in my local whole food shop.
You can always add more...that's my advice and good luck and do let us know how you get on. 😀
Hi Jerry
Thank you very much, I'm getting the picture now, think I will add it gradually at the end of my one pot cooking and maybe add it to the quinoa that I consume frequently.
I will certainly let you know how I get on. I've been looking at my Gut Biome Report and a further response to an email I sent to the company, I was struggling to understand the report as it was very scientific.
Once again, thank you.
Thanks Jerry!👍

Miso is delicious 😋 .
As, Brightfeather noted, you’d want to avoid "cooking" the miso. That is, avoid boiling 🚫 ♨️ it because that amount of overheating 🔥 kills the good bacteria 🦠.
Just use warm/ tepid water 🚰 when using it in your soups 🍵, stews 🍲, sauces, etc. 👍👍
[The good stuff is pricey 💰 🏦 but oh so worth it for the good bacteria 🦠 & the flavour. 😋 🙏 🍀 🌺 🌞 ]

Hi Kai
I love your responses, they are so upbeat and love the emojis you use.
I will add it at the end of my cooking so I don't do that.
Thank you very much.
Alicia

Oh, for clarity, crazyfitness/ Alicia, my understanding is, UNpasteurised* miso paste (refrigerated**) contains ‘good bacteria’ 😇 🦠 that’s “alive".
[The pasteurisation ( en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pas... ) process kills 🦠🗡 ( 😵 ⚰️ ) the good bacteria; therefore, we bypass ‘pasteurised’ miso paste.]

Hi Alicia. Glad you have had some info back after your tests. I use miso, we have it in soup most days so you could add it to your gut healing soup you make or make a broth and add a teaspoon and have it as a drink. It’s lovely 😁 good luck! (I buy 3 jars of organic miso at a time on amazon, 3 for £9)
Hi Ali
Yes I've been going through the report seeing what I need to purchase. I've ordered kefir grains to make coconut kefir and have a spelt flour starter for sourdough, I tried before but it didn't work because our house wasn't warm enough, the heating is now on.
I'll look for the organic miso on Amazon, thank you.🙏
Oh my curiosity just twitched, what is your gut healing soup please ?
Hi here is a link to the soup which was posted on Vegan Food for Life 😁🌱 Ali

Hi Liz
Oh poor you, it's an awful illness, I'd rather be in pain that being sick. Funny thing is I had foodpoisoning back in November last year and that's why I've been on a quest to improve my health, I'm still getting the odd problem but nothing like I was.
The two best things I've ever done and can highly recommend both is seeing a Nutritionist and having a Gut Biome test.
I hope you improve very soon. You will find a fair bit of knowledge on here, people are amazing.😀
👍👍👍Thanks And too for your kind words such ,I’m not out of the woods..Do I just need to copy and paste your link for the Soup /Miso link?
I hope your soon on the road to recovery, there's nothing worse than having a poorly tummy.
All you need to do is just click on the link and you'll be asked if you want to view the page, it's easy. It's a fabulous soup.😀
Hi Alicia,
I don't use Miso at all, but I've enjoyed reading all the replies here, and I'm keen to make that soup that was mentioned, as it looks so good. I might try some Miso sometime.
Zest
Hi Zest
Yes I like the sound of it and I'll definitely be buying the unpasturised soy.
Alicia😀
Thank you🤗
Thank You!👍
Hi, yes miso is very good. You can buy miso cup a soups, made by Itsu or clearspring I think. Also soya yoghurt is fermented too.
Thank you very much Nessie for the information.
I have just come across your comment about soy products being recommended. Knowing that a number of our members use soy products I found and read this interesting discussion article which is now especially relevant since recent headlines have recommended reducing the amount of meat we eat. Have a read of this and see what you think: healthscams.org.uk/soy-food...
Thank you very much Tibblington , I'm goingvto have a read later and will definitely let you know what I think.🙏
