Dear Marsha,

As I understand it, if you are on an all meat/fish/fat diet, the bacteria
are not necessary.

In fact studies have shown that most bacteria good and bad will die off for
lack of nutrition on a ketogenic (meat/fat) diet.

I believe they are necessary to digest carbohydrates. Someone correct me if
I'm wrong.

Mary
