Did you know the primary fuel for the gut cells lining your intestines is a  short chain FATTY acid called Butyrate? Butyrate is also called Butyric acid and without it, your gut lining goes from a selective sieve to a leaky colander. It’s also a powerful anti-inflammatory both locally in the gut and systemically. I could go on but you get the idea.  So where…
