Which isn't to say that gut flora aren't involved--and that ojoj hasn't improved them with her diet.

I do have to wonder--if resistant starch have a beneficial effect on gut-flora, does it depend on the rest of the diet? Does a healthy gut biome look the same on low- as it does on high-carb?

Our higher protein/fat intake might mean that we're encouraging an entirely different assortment of micro-organisms when we take in resistant starch.

Just so you don't misunderstand me--I'm not just being difficult, I really am this dense. It's hard to know where prudence lies. There's a lot of unknowns.
