Gastroenterologist or Dietitian Sources on Mushrooms-Gut Health-Parade

Ashley Broadwater is working on a story for Parade.com about 'How mushrooms are a key to gut health.' She is seeking gastroenterologists and registered dietitians as sources. Questions include: Please explain the way(s) in which mushrooms are beneficial for gut health; what are the other health benefits of mushrooms; how many mushrooms do you recommend eating for those gut health benefits; and what are other surprising/random foods that benefit gut health? Please provide your name, credentials, and a link to your bio/about page. If you mention a study or say “research,” please link it. Ashley asks that you reach out and let her know which request(s) you/your expert are interested in before writing up a response, as this is to ensure she has room to fit you in. The earlier you respond the better, but final deadline is Thursday, February 5, EOD (11:59 p.m.). Do not use AI to generate your answers, and make sure your or your client’s name is spelled correctly and bio link is correct.
