ABSTRACT
Prebiotics and dietary ber are the nutrients and fuels that nurture the microbiota of the intestinal microecology.1 Although proteins excreted from the gut wall, including mucus are used by the microbiota as fuels, they are supplementary.2 The intestinal microecology is affected by nutrients, and its makeup can be changed dramatically by various prebiotics and foods.3 The interplay of these nutrients and the microbiota is a dynamic process that varies from day to day and week to week. The metabolism of the nutrients by the microbiota is also a dynamic process and has variable effects
