Good question. Foods high in resistant starch include beans (all kinds; hummus too), lentils, oats, green bananas/plantains, flaxseed, quinoa, barley, peas, and cooked and cooled pasta, rice and potatoes.

Hi! The data on artificial sweeteners and the gut microbiome in clinical trials are mixed. If you can find an alternative- that may be better.

For beans- discard the water you soaked them in and introduce gradually into your diet. Some people have intolerances - check with your doctor.

I appreciate all your good news posts (in addition to the educational ones when the news is not good). Love to see scientific progress in the midst of the chaos we are enduring.
