That's interesting about famotidine. This is also a treatment for MCAS, which is probably under-diagnosed because it's kind of obscure and the diagnostic criteria kind of suck currently. It can reduce stomach acid, so my doctor and I decided against using it as the first option in treatment, but may reconsider even though the alternative seems to be working. Thanks for the link and explanation.
Can you share any relevant resources or ideas you've gotten on reducing the opportunists and increasing butyrate production? I've coaxed and cajoled my MMC and other digestive processes back into shape, or so it seems, but am struggling on the microbiome angle. It's tricky because the list of foods that trigger symptoms is insanely long, so it's hard to get creative and experimental as far as that goes.
