If you’re for biotics does that make you probiotic? Probiotic are actually teeny-tiny little organisms that live in your gut and help mange your digestive health. And now they can be found in just about everything from yogurt to granola bars and juices.
The jury is still out on how they could benefit someone with a severely compromised immune system, but for the following problems they may be beneficial*:
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Diarrhea caused by infection with a virus, bacteria or parasite.
- Diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics.
