Probiotics and Inflammation

Luckily, research shows that replenishing your gut biome with probiotics may be the answer for how to get rid of bad bacteria in the gut. A few studies were conducted looking at how Lactobacillus strains interact with animal cells as well as human colon cells in vitro. 

Types of Probiotics To Help Immunity

Being on high alert at all times is a lot for the immune system. Since immune system cells control inflammation, chronic inflammation naturally depletes your immunity.

Animal studies show that various strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus acidilactici can reduce inflammation and diarrhea caused by IBS 4. These findings further exemplify the gut-immune axis. You can find these strains together in Ombre's upcoming proprietary blend: Ultimate Immunity.

Types of Probiotics For Healing A Leaky Gut

Our gut lining is held together by proteins called tight junctions. Chronic inflammation weakens tight junctions, allowing for toxins to enter the bloodstream. Thankfully, probiotic strains can help tighten up those tight junctions. 

One study found that Lactobacillus acidophilus helps repair tight junctions by producing a short-chain fatty acid known as butyrate. Butyrate strengthens the cells that make up your tight junctions (epithelial cells). That's why Lactobacillus acidophilus is one of the strains used in Ombre's Healthy Gut.

Microbiome Testing for the Right Types of Probiotics

We just explained some of the benefits of only a handful of bacteria strains. With hundreds of bacteria strains discovered in the human microbiome, it can make choosing probiotics difficult. That's where Ombre steps in.

We test your gut to help determine which bacteria you are high in, and which bacteria you are low in. Then, we analyze your wellness goals and symptoms. Based on all of this information, we recommend one of our six clinically backed probiotic blends for you. 

Perhaps you’re trying to find good gut bacteria for weight loss? Others may be attempting to figure out the connection between poor gut health and depression. Whatever your incentive for wanting to know how to fix gut health naturally is, it’s as unique as you’re actual gut biome.

Discover if Escherichia coli is behind your digestive issues or if a lack of Akkermansia is causing mental health problems. 

Perhaps it’s the antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus?. Maybe it’s a lack of Bacteroides? Whoever the perpetrator may be, you need to get to the root of the cause to find the solution. That is why you need microbiome testing.

How Does Ombre Microbiome Testing Work?

Ombre sends you everything you need for success. Our at-home Gut Health Test comes equipped with:

• Gut Health Test
• Personalized Microbiome Report
• Food Suggestions
• Targeted Probiotic Recommendation
• Free Shipping for Test + Quick Report Delivery (2-4 Weeks)

Once you receive your Gut Health Test, bring it with you into the restroom for your next bowel movement. Use one of the swabs to pick up a smear from your toilet paper and swirl that end of the swab into the Collection Tube

After 20 seconds, dispose of the swab wherever you would put hazardous material. From there, seal and shake the Collection Tube for 30 seconds. Place it in the Pre-Paid Shipping Box and put it into your USPS mailbox for the next delivery.

In the meantime, get the ball rolling. Activate the number on your test and fill out a few questions about your symptoms. The sooner this happens, the more likely you will be to experience the maximum benefits of what do probiotics do.

Prebiotics for Probiotics 

The last part of optimizing your gut is the hardest. We can do the microbiome testing and recommend targeted probiotics for you. However, we can’t force you to eat the best foods for gut health. What we can do is help you make the right choices.

Since we know which bad bacteria we’re trying to rid from your gut, and which beneficial bacteria we’re trying to help grow, we know which foods you should eat.

Harmful bacteria like foods rich in sugar, gluten, and lactose. Instead, you want to follow a healthy gut diet plan rich in complex carbs, lean proteins, and healthy fats.

One of the most effective ways to feed healthy bacteria is to use Ombre Rise. This dietary fiber powder is rich in prebiotics. These are good carbs that help nourish beneficial bacteria in your gut. When probiotics consume prebiotics, they thank us with short-chain fatty acids that repair our gut lining!

Ombre vs Other Microbiome Testing Companies

What makes Ombre different from other microbiome testing companies is that we personalize the experience every step of the way. No microbiome is the same. So, no journey toward figuring out how to get rid of bad bacteria in the gut will be the same either.

We send you all you need for microbiome testing in a discreet manner. From there, we figure out which stomach bacteria is problematic. With that knowledge, we can recommend strain-specific probiotic supplements for your microbiome, the foods you should eat, and the ones you should avoid.
