I know this is late, I hope you still see this.
Last summer I managed to trigger an Akkermansia bloom and I'd be happy to share with you how I did it, first here are my uBiome Explorer results. http://imgur.com/a/wpSzS
I came across this article http://diabetes.diabetesjournals.org/content/64/8/2847 about Concord grape polyphenols triggering growth of Akkermansia in rats and figured I would try to recreate it on myself.
Note from the results uBiome reported I had 0% Akkermansia in my gut before I started my experiment then there is clearly a bloom then it slowly started to decrease with still some showing up almost a year later. It should be noted that I stopped my experiment after the December test.
How I did it?
I ended up obtaining the Concord grape polyphenols via an extract powder made by Milne, a powder manufacturer, by asking them for a research sample. MilneConcord was the powder I used.
Then I wanted to get as much powder as I could past my stomach so I made my own delivery system using Enteric Coated capsules from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Empty-Enteric-Coated-Capsules-Joined/dp/B014EPR180 and a capsule machine I had at home. We have this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/400-HOLES-SEMI-AUTOMATIC-Capsule-Filler-Capsule-Filling-Machine-3-SIZES/321895073990
These made about 5-600mg of the grape in digestion resistant capsules. I don't recall the exact amount, and shame on me for not being more rigorous, but I ended up taking 2 of these a day during that bloom. I've since stopped taking them.
I used these, but they appear to be out of stock. There are other empty enteric coated capsules on amazon, tho! I used them in combination with gelatin capsules in an attempt to increase my coverage.
