Trying sodium butyrate for everyday gut comfort – what’s your experience?

Posted by aspiring_trailrun in General Discussion - 2 points, 0 comments.

I’ve been testing sodium butyrate sodium butyrate capsules for sodium butyrate capsules for a few weeks to see if it eases the mild bloating I notice after a big salad or oatmeal. I began with 500 mg twice a day with breakfast and lunch, staying inside the typical 500‑2000 mg range split over two‑three doses. The capsules are tasteless and I haven’t had any odd smell or gas so far. After about ten days I felt a bit less full after meals and my digestion seemed a touch smoother, though it could just be placebo or a change in my routine. I’m curious if anyone else has tried it for general gut comfort and what dose or timing worked for them. Any tips on stacking it with fibre or probiotics would be appreciated.
