Re: probiotics       10/29/06 04:36 PM Edit Reply Quote dmdentre Reged: 06/09/04 Posts: 47 Loc: New England Hi Most people have "healthy" bacteria in their intestines. These bacteria help us digest food by fermenting and breaking down some of the foods that we can not. Some people with IBS or those who have been on prolonged courses of antibiotics end up with a reduction in the number of these healthy bacteria. In the abcense of these bacteria, bad bacteria can grow out of control which can cause abdominal symptoms. In addition, the lack of healthy bacteria can disrupt the normal digestive process. Taking probiotics helps to restore the healthy bacteria to the GI tract and prevents the growth of bad bacteria. I hope this helps...and no matter how it works...if you find it helps - stick with it!!! Danielle Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
