Probiotics and Diarrhea
One of the quickest ways to solve a diarrhea
problem is with probiotics.
Your gut must have the good bacteria in order
to function properly. Those good bacteria are killed off along
with the bad when you take an antibiotic. Most everyone has
experienced the bout of diarrhea that comes with the
prescription for an antibiotic.
A lot of people will buy yogurt when they have
to take a course of medicine. That can work if you buy
the right yogurt.
The life span of the good bacteria is limited
so there needs to be a regular replacement of those good
bacteria in order for the process of digestion and elimination
to flow.
I take a probiotic daily just like I take my
vitamin and mineral supplement. I want to make sure that all
the available nutrition from the foods I eat are absorbed by my
body.
If you use a laxative, you need probiotics or
you could end of with diarrhea. If you suffer with IBS, you
need probiotics. If you have a cold or flu, you need
probiotics.
Those good bacteria also protect your gut as
they fight off the bad germs and can usually shorten the time
you spend feeling bad with the flu.
You can have a bout of diarrhea due to food
poisoning. That and vomiting are the body's defense
against poison. It is a quick effecient method of
eliminating the problem food.
But, you end up with a gut that is devoid of
the good bacteria and you need to replace that with a good
probiotic.
Keep your probiotic bottle in the
refrigerator.
