Why isn’t there a supplement to fortify your gut microbiome to deal with food borne illness?

217 views

So I have heard that people in India have a much stronger gut biome with much more diverse gut flora than westerners, which is why it’s unsafe for westerners to eat meat in India. But I’ve also heard of people who have lived there a while and suffered greatly at first but developed that same microbiome. Would it theoretically be possible to develop a supplement to create that microbiome, like probiotics, and if not, why not?

I’m an Afghan, born in India, who lives in and grew up in California. I’ve traveled to India as well.

Meat isn’t really the issue – they especially like fully cooked meat.

Raw foods are generally the issue. Whether it’s the water or raw vegetables used as a garnish.

I was given an antibiotic and probiotic pill there where the probiotic was supposedly immune to the antibiotic used. Whatever it was it did the job.
