How to choose a good probiotic

Today there are many pathologies or conditions in which taking probiotics can be of great help. But, with so much variety on the market, how do we know which is the best probiotic for each case, and how do we have to take it?

Probiotics according to your need

1. Probiotics for irritable bowel
   Currently, we put on the bandwagon of "irritable colon" or irritated digestive system * to anyone who has had intestinal irritation for more than six months (very soft or undone stools or alternation with constipation, abdominal distention (swollen belly) with or without pain, and gases.

Irritable bowel syndrome* (IBS) has a prevalence of 10% in the Western population. The origin? 50% nervous, 50% inflammation, sensitivity, and hyperpermeability of the intestinal mucosa plus an alteration of the intestinal microbiota. That is why it is so important to repopulate the land with good probiotics.

There are more and more studies that show that probiotics are extremely useful to balance the microbiota and improve the symptoms of irritable bowel.

The strains studied so far with more benefits for these cases are:

Bifidobacterium infantis
Sacchromyces boulardii
Lactobacillus plantarum
Best Olive Oil in New York
However, after all these years of consultation and my own experience with the disease, I can tell you that, in some cases, probiotics can be worse or do absolutely nothing (this is the case of a swollen belly and gas, in which there is first "clean" a little bacterial proliferation that is not so interesting with good antibacterials or natural antibiotics).

Without a doubt, however, probiotics make a big difference when there are more loose stools and diarrhea.

1. Probiotics for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori
   This bacterium, when out of control, can cause many problems of irritation, poor digestion, acidity, and burning.

While we do a good treatment with the doctor, it would be good to accompany it with probiotics (in the last Concerns de Maastricht V/Florence conference on the management of Helicobacter pylori infection they specifically addressed the role of the microbiota and probiotics) that contain Lactobacillus and the yeast Saccharomyces boulardii.

1. Probiotics for constipation
   Constipation is a multifactorial problem.

You have to drink enough water.
Move more.
Eat a diet rich in vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Eliminate sugars and refined as much as possible.
Gently clean the intestines with aloe gel or magnesium carbonate or do good colon hydrotherapy.
Repopulate the flora with a probiotic like the ones we mentioned at the beginning, the ones that have a bit of everything.

1. Probiotics for halitosis
   Yes, poor hygiene, plaque build-up, and periodontitis are the main causes of halitosis. Since the imbalance of the oral microbiota may be involved in the pathogenesis of many oral diseases, probiotics are also a very good option in these cases. What bacteria are the most recommended?

Streptococcus salivarius
Lactobacillus salivarius
I also recommend gargling coconut oil with a drop of tea tree.

1. Probiotics for children
   Lactibiane Infant
   Darmocare Infantis.
2. Probiotics for holiday gastroenteritis
   For gastroenteritis caused by changes in diet or infections by bacteria, viruses, or travel parasites:

1. Probiotics for candidiasis
   In recent years, different strains have been studied that have a great power to improve symptoms against candida: they are Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri .

Aquilea Intimus has both bacteria
Candinorm vaginal ovules
A good antifungal (which can obviously be natural).
