All probiotics are not the same. Different strains of the bacteria show different effects. For example, one strain of bacteria may fight against cavity-causing microorganisms in our oral cavity and don’t need to withstand a trip into our guts.
Research has supported these friendly critters. Significant benefits of probiotics have been observed in the treatment or prevention or treatment of
Diarrhea
Ulcerative colitis
Irritable bowel syndrome
Crohn’s disease
Vaginal infections
- Pylori (causative agent of ulcers)
Recurrence of bladder cancer
