Eat for your gut type

I love this name. I have to give credit to Soraya Petroff, specialty sales representative with Eli Lilly.
This concept refers to research showing that it is the bacteria in your gut, not your blood type or personal genetics, that has the greatest influence on how different foods effect you.
You can find out what foods are more likely to work well with you or fight with you by having your gut biome DNA tested. The results will reveal the foods optimal to your health.

I am fascinated with my analysis.  Fat content, protein content a portion size play a big role in the score of a food. the food is scored 1 to 10 with 10 being the best on my blood sugar, meaning it will raise my blood sugar the least. A 1 score is the worst, meaning it will raise my blood sugar the most. fore example, both brown and white rice served plain are 1.5 and 1.4 respectively. So much for the brown rice theory being good for me. But if I prepare the brown rice as risotto with mushrooms, this recipe adds cream and cheese which adds fat and protein. Now the score goes up to 7.6.  The calories go up so I have to watch the portion size. This needs to be kept as a side dish, not an entree. a 4 oz serving is recommended. Another example, I was looking at spaghetti carbonara. Scores ranged from 3 to 7. Why such a wide range? The one with 3 was a 12 oz serving, the one with 7 was a 3.5 oz serving. Simple math. Keep it a side dish, not an entree.
