Probiotics hold the key not just for better health and a stronger immune system, but also for healing digestive issues, mental health illness, and neurological disorders.

New research is continuing to prove that probiotic benefits go far beyond what we previously thought. As our knowledge of the importance of the microbes in our bodies grows, it’s important to give our flora a helping hand. But given the myriad of probiotic strains, it is always worth checking with your Naturopath or health care practitioner.

Constipation
Constipation is a frustrating and common problem. Probiotics can play a key role in helping to relieve constipation, but it can be confusing trying to choose the correct and most effective one.

Several studies have showed positive effects on constipation symptoms. 1

In one study published in the “Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology” in September 2010, a team of Italian researchers found that artichokes enriched with the probiotic Lactobacillus paracasei strain helped to treat constipation, reducing abdominal distension and the feeling of incomplete elimination.

Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 is a very well researched probiotic strain which has repeatedly demonstrated effectiveness at reducing constipation. This particular probiotic strain of B.lactis BB-12, has been investigated in several trials for constipation. 2

 
Oral Health
Lactobacillus. rhamnosus GG and two different Lactobacillus reuteri strains have been reported to colonize the oral cavity of 48–100% of volunteers consuming products containing them. 3 In addition, Streptococcus salivarius K12, used for treating oral malodor, temporarily colonizes the oral cavity for a short time after use.4

Amazingly, the human body is made up of more microbes than human cells. But it’s important to remember that not all bacteria is bad. They come in good varieties too. If you missed Part 1 of this popular series, read it here >>

Healthy bacteria (probiotics) in our system fight bad bacteria and assist in the absorption of nutrients just to name a few benefits.

There are a number of different strains of probiotics. Their effects are very specific so its always best to consult your Naturopath or health practitioner to find out which is best for you.

 
Eczema
Research suggests that skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis can be linked back to an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. It also shows that bacterial flora is very different in patients with atopic dermatitis, so adding back healthy bacteria might be a useful treatment. A study back in 2001 showed the probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG reduced the incidence of atopic dermatitis in at-risk infants through the age of 7 years 1.

It was also found in recent study that supplementing with a type of beneficial bacterial called Lactobacillus rhapsodic GG or Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain HN001 cut kids’ risk of developing eczema in half.2

Another study in 2010 on a strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus showed babies exposed to probiotics prenatally & after birth for 6 months were less likely to develop eczema than those not given probiotics. 3

 
Colic
Recent studies suggest that low counts of intestinal lactobacilli may play a role in colic.

It has been shown that administration of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 significantly improved colic symptoms by reducing daily crying and fussing times in breastfed infants with colic with no adverse effects. 4
