Nothing more frustrating than bloating, gas, fatigue, cramps, or diarrhea on a consistent basis, which is a good indicator that probiotics are needed to reduce or eliminate the problem. Probiotics are the good bacteria that protect the body from disease and are essential to build the immune system, improve digestion and control inflammation. The other benefits of probiotics include treating urinary tract infections, irritable bowel syndrome and helping to prevent eczema and food allergies in children. Probiotics may also help people who suffer with lactose intolerance because the bacteria in them can help people digest the sugar in dairy products, especially in milk. Probiotics have also been shown to improve how the body breaks down vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, copper, magnesium and phosphorus.
