Weissella cibaria

Weissella cibaria is a lactic acid producing bacterium that can be found in the gut, mouth, and fermented foods. It is less commonly discussed than Lactobacillus, but it can still give useful information about fermentation in the gut. Its presence may reflect activity in the gut, exposure from fermented foods, or bacteria from the mouth. Lower levels may simply mean that this type of lactic acid producing bacteria is less prominent in the gut profile. If this is part of a broader reduction in supportive bacteria, it may be seen together with sensitive digestion, irregular stools, bloating, gas, or changes in stool quality. Higher levels may reflect increased fermentation activity or recent exposure from the diet, which may be seen together with gas, bloating, softer stools, or temporary digestive changes.
