They had butyrate enemas for UC, but they do not work that great,possibly just for
clinical trials,cant remember.
Another way to get butyrate is resistant starch,which is fermented in the colon.
Green banana, unmodified potato starch, beans, retrograde starch, potatoes and rice that
have been cooled.
One possibility for UC is that it is an energy deficiency disease where the colon and colon
bacteria have been starved. If the bacteria are starved of RS, they can start to eat other things,become stressed and more pathogenic. Bacteria are starved,dont make butyrate, colon cells get starved from lack of butyrate,combined with modern western lifestyle/diet, everything gets out of balance.
One theory.
