I have been reading voraciously about prebiotics and probiotics to resolve my gut issue. I used commercial grade probiotics for a long time without really much effect.
I moved over to naturally fermented foods such as Kefir which has always been helpful, and I found a liquid yogurt to also be helpful. I have done Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar as well (this is unpasteurized).
I have been researching both sauerkraut and Kimchi as new additions. I have been consuming the unpasteurized versions. There is considerable research on the microbes found in these two products. They contain lactic acid bacteria which is a general term for many types of bacteria. However, one microbe caught my attention which is pediococcus.
There are a multitude of research articles on PubMed concerning pediococcus and its ability to eradicate harmful bacteria including the mycobacterium that causes tuberculosis.

Pediococcus is also able to eradicate listeria which is another dangerous pathogen.

Another study indicates that it is able to reduce biofilm formation caused by pseudomonas which is a gram negative bacteria that is difficult to treat.

My nephew has been suffering with IBS and we tried a number of things which did not work but after 1 week on unpasteurized sauerkraut, it seems to be a turnaround. I believe that many who suffer with ME could well be having bad guts that are damaged from pathogenic organisms.
