Probiotics for the intestines, like some products, are necessary to normalize the composition of bacteria. For example, regular consumption of lactic acid products - cottage cheese, kefir, yogurt, sour milk and cheese ensure constant maintenance of normal microflora.
The incidence of dysbacteriosis has recently increased several times. This is due to the emergence of new generations of antibacterial drugs that have a detrimental effect not only on the pathogenic agent, but also on beneficial intestinal microorganisms.
In addition, the diet has changed - basically, a person eats a full meal once a day, and the rest of the meals are so-called "fast food". Food products also affect the intestinal microflora.
As a result, the human body is less exposed to the negative influence of infectious agents and other environmental factors. This is due to an increase in the level of immune protection due to a sufficient number of beneficial bacteria.
[ Probiotics for colitis
Violation of the quantitative and qualitative composition of bacteria in the intestine can cause the development of inflammation of the mucous membrane. In turn, colitis also worsens the condition of the microflora, as a result, two processes have a destructive effect on the microflora.
Probiotics for colitis are necessary as part of the main therapy in the treatment of colitis, because with an insufficient number of beneficial microorganisms, pathogenic microorganisms are activated, which occupy free space on the intestinal mucosa.
Most often, colitis manifests itself as diarrhea, which torments a person for several years, flatulence, abdominal pain and hyperthermia.
The study found that after taking the probiotic for 3 weeks, an improvement in the person's well-being was observed. In addition, positive dynamics were noted during a coprological study. The result confirmed a decrease in the number or complete absence of leukocytes, mucus and intestinal epithelial cells.
Thus, probiotics for colitis are indispensable drugs for normalizing microflora and improving the quality of human life.
Probiotics for constipation
Adults and children face this problem, but not everyone knows how to solve it correctly without harming themselves. Constipation is a consequence of intestinal dysfunction, which results in the development of putrefactive processes and the activation of pathogenic microorganisms.
Constipation can be caused by dysfunction of the digestive system, the influence of external factors, such as stress, insufficient physical activity or pregnancy.
Treatment is aimed at activating the bowel and emptying it. Laxatives are most often used, but it should be remembered that when using them, the body loses fluid and disrupts the balance of bacteria and electrolytes.
Probiotics for constipation are considered the most optimal way to combat constipation, as they do not have as many side effects as laxatives. Probiotics normalize the composition of microorganisms on the intestinal mucosa and promote the natural elimination of waste products.
In addition, it is necessary to monitor the amount of fluid in the body and replenish it regularly.
