How To Help Regain Normal Gastrointestinal Health & Digestive Function After Antibiotics or Oral Contraceptives
You’ve just taken a course of antibiotics for a persistent hard to beat
infection… you’ve noticed that you have mild digestive discomfort. Some
meals you eat seem to take forever to digest and you often feel
bloated, suffering from flatulence despite having a pretty good diet...
If the symptoms persist, you will want to see your health practitioner,
but it may simply be that your intestines are over-run with negative
species… the wrong kind of bacteria!
If you have wondered why pharmacists recommend a probiotic therapy
(acidophilus capsules) when filling a prescription for antibiotics, the
answer is that a negative side effect of some antibiotic treatments is
a kill-off of beneficial species in the intestines and a common method
of replacing those flora destroyed is by taking a course of probiotics.
So what is a probiotic supplement? By definition it contains enough
beneficial flora to help rebuild levels in the intestines to a
self-sustaining balance… the healthy beneficial species proliferate and
crowd out unwanted bacteria keeping the balance at normal manageable
levels.
However, keep in mind that the average adult has literally TRILLIONS of
bacteria with an estimated 300 to 500 species… bacteria make up
much of the material in the colon and 60% of the mass of faeces, plus
the intestines are around 8 metres long with an internal area somewhere
around the size of a tennis court, so you can see there’s a lot of
bacteria over a large area to get in balance!
To achieve this, many probiotic supplements attempt to target lots of
species… they spread the beneficial bacteria around thinly, intending
to influence a wide range of species with low amounts, but there is a
better way! First there’s the species. Instead of using small amounts
of many types, lets go with massive amounts of one of the big guns…
Lactobacillus DDS-1 strain.
This specific DDS-1 strain has over 100 published, peer-reviewed
studies and has shown specific resistance to bile salts and stomach
acids which could otherwise destroy beneficial flora in the stomach
acids before they reach their destination. DDS-1 produces the enzyme
lactase, which helps to alleviate lactose intolerance and also inhibits
the growth of 23 toxin-producing organisms while assisting in the
digestion of proteins and carbohydrates. And importantly, DDS-1 is very
stable under normal ambient storage conditions.
You’ll need a formula with something like 20 BILLION cells… yes, that
is a lot but we’re looking quick results aren’t we? Now, lets bring in
a secret weapon, a PRE biotic. Oligofructose (FOS) is a natural fibre
digested exclusively by Bifidobacterium… using this makes the formula
SYN biotic, both PRE & PRO biotic… it sends the beneficial bacteria
to work with a cut lunch, feeding and encouraging the endogenous
Bifidobacterium already in your intestines to flourish and be healthy.
Take a high potency Synbiotic formula to restore and balance your
healthy beneficial flora and relieve mild digestive discomfort and the
symptoms of medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
