Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Not sure what other foods but there are some great supplements out there that are more effective than eating yogurt.

The single most important thing you need to remember is that it does pay to buy a good probiotic. Not all live up to their claims. Find one that is in a glass bottle. Plastic bottles allow moisture in which destroys acidophilus. Look for a daily dose of 3 billion living cells.

My health food store recommends a brand called Kyo-Dophilus. Their formulation is stable at room temperature and doesn’t need refrigeration like most. This makes it suitable for travel. It is also made from a human strain making it more adaptable to the human body than a non-human, dairy strain. They also offer various formulas including a chewable one for children.

Be sure to take a probiotic at the end of a meal. This is because the stomach is an acidic environment and has been designed to kill off bugs – the good ones along with the bad. After a meal, the acid is diluted, so the probiotic can survive and make it’s way to the intestinal tract.

It is important to constantly replenish your friendly intestinal bacteria to maintain a good flora balance. Adding probiotics to your diet is simple and it has the potential to greatly improve your health and strengthen your immunity. Hope this helps
