Probiotics
A probiotic is a source of “good” bacteria that works in your digestive system to maintain a healthy gut environment. They are essentially live microorganisms that can be found in certain foods, including:
- Soft aged cheeses

- kefir
- kimchi
- kombucha
- Sauerkraut
- Miso
- Natto
- Pickles
- Sourdough bread

Good Bacteria in Gastrointestinal System:
Your gastrointestinal system cannot function normally without the good bacteria living in your intestinal tract. These bacteria act as a barrier to infections in the intestines. Antibiotics or an overabundance of unhealthy bacteria or viruses can make your system sick and you can get diarrhea. The bacteria in your gut are restored by probiotics, which relieve diarrhea.
