Eubacterium rectale is part of the Lachnospiraceae family and produces butyrate. Eubacterium rectale was found to be in lower abundance in patients with type 2 diabetes, colorectal cancer, and chronic idiopathic diarrhea. There is a negative correlation between Eubacterium rectale levels and the symptomatology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Decreased levels of Eubacterium spp. have been associated with very high protein diets.
