I think my understanding was that the flora that thrive on fiber are the ones most symbiotic with our systems, but it would be very interesting to know if our gut Flora can produce any nutrients.
I know they can produce some hormones, but I wonder if they could possibly produce nutrients depending on what they can feed on.
The gut flora will change when your diet changes.
The bacteria that eat fiber are only there BECAUSE you are eating fiber. Change your diet and those bacteria will morph into something more useful.
They are working hard on all that fiber to PROTECT you, because if they don't, your colon will get blocked, and you will die.
Just give them a different job to do, which will help you be healthier, by getting that fiber out of your diet.

Do you have any knowledge to share on that?
