Vit A and bile secretion study
#1 · April 5, 2020, 11:15 pm
A doctor friend sent me this message about a study about vit. A and bile. I'd like to get some opinions about it from those of you here.
He said:
"There are several papers on this connection I was reading about on the Bacteriotherapy FB page. I thought you might be interested. Here is one of them and their conclusion:
"We speculate that the mechanisms allowing vitamins A and D to control feedback repression of bile acid synthesis may have evolved to protect the organism from exposure to potentially toxic levels of lipid-soluble vitamins in the diet"
One line of reasoning is that vit A lowering bile may help people, especially women with IBSd, since bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is one of the causes of diarrhea.
Thoughts?"
