I have taken taken any probiotics yet other than buying a local fresh Sauerkraut. I haven't as yet noticed any improvement in levels of inflammation. Seems wander around a little as per how it always has but never really bad unless I'm off my NSAID's (at the moment I'm on them).

However, I have noticed massive improvements in other areas like sleep quality, mood regulation, bowel motions, and energy levels when doing lifting exercises. Just a better overall sense of well being.

And it has helped me to expand the foods I eat. Last nights dinner was a whopping 550 grams of boiled Potatos, roast chicken and gravy. Followed up by homemade dark chocolate coconut milk icecream, and a couple of coconut flour chocolate chip cookies with it. Pig heaven! I wanted to really spike my insulin. Cookies and cream....I'm doing this every workout night now. As many boiled Potatos as I can eat and cookies and cream. Then in between, back to high fat, low carb and intermittent fasting.
