Gut health and APS

[Suejane]

Hi,

I was reading an article relating to gut health and APS by a doctor in New York. I contacted his practice and got a reply with this link that you may find useful -

Thanks Sue, interesting - a lot more research needed still though.

Thanks for that. I have anticardiolipin antibodies but no other signs (allegedly) and had read that this is believed to be the case for a proportion of those with Small Fibre Neuropathy/Sjogren's/ Dysautonomia. No doubt poor gut health is not the cause for everything but getting it more healthy and diverse can only help. Fortunately it does seem that changing the microbiome positively can be done quite quickly with high polyphenol foods, resistant starches etc. I'll keep working on it! Cheers

Thank you for sending the article on the gut microbiome. I have taken a probiotic capsule for years...Allign. I probably should have taken different ones and mixed it up a bit. Does anyone else have any positive or negative experiences with taking probiotics, and their effect on APL's?

Thanks, I personally pay a huge amount of attention to my gut health, always have, making sure my diet is excellent but also with pre biotics and probiotics and cider vinegar, but i am not on any Warfarin, so no battles with keeping an INR stable. MaryF
