Pro-Biotics ~ by Dr. Judy Staveley, Ph.D.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that can be found in yogurt or in several dietary food products. These little beneficial live bacteria are similar to those found in your stomach. We know them as normal bacteria or normal flora. We have over a trillion of little bacteria living in our bodies that help our immune system fight off bad bacteria. As a Professor in Biology and an athlete I am exposed to potentially harmful bacteria everyday, just like everyone else who is exposed to crowds or potential environments.
Why Probiotics?
Enhancing your diet with probiotics can boost and protect your immune system and your digestive system. With everyday life stressors or illnesses, our bodies tend to loose normal flora and the unbalance of these bacteria tends to support unnormal growth.
By maintaining probiotics in your diet, you will help recolonize your (GI) tract, digestive system, gut and intestines. This will help also absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Probiotics should not be confused with prebiotics. Probiotics can be found in items such as Live Wire drinks, yogurt, capsules, powder and other supplement forms. Probiotics is a friendly bacterium that can be consumed in these types of foods. Research studies have shown scientific evidence that probiotics help with lactose intolerance and improvement in digestive problems. Many probiotic strains exhibit anti-inflammatory properties according to several published journals. Promising research for the use of probiotics done by the National Institute of Health have shown to help with infections such as respiratory, allergic diseases, tooth decay, nasal pathogen, and gastroenteritis.

Self-dosing with probiotics is an estimated 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 500 different species inhabit every normal, healthy bowel. These microorganisms (or microflora) generally don’t make us sick, they are usually more helpful to our systems. Gut-dwelling bacteria keep pathogens (harmful microorganisms) in check, aid digestion and nutrient absorption, and contribute to immune function.

Unfortunately, the antibiotic can kill the normal flora / normal bacteria in our gut leading to diarrhea. Viral infections and other bacterial infections can result in symptoms of diarrhea. The best case for probiotic therapy has been in treatment of diarrhea. |
Probiotic therapy may also help people with Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome. Clinical trial results are mixed, but several small studies suggest that certain probiotics may help maintain remission of ulcerative colitis and prevent relapse of Crohn’s disease and the recurrence of pouchitis (a complication of surgery to treat ulcerative colitis). The draw back of probiotics is that the FDA does not regulate them. They are considered a dietary supplement. Probiotics cultures found in 7 Day Probiotic can restore the bacteria imbalance within the gut. Most doctors would agree, that there is no good reason not to take probiotics when taking prescribed antibiotics. Scientist found that probiotic doses of more than 5 billion colony-forming units per day for adults are considered to be the best outcome.
