Product Information

There are many different types of probiotics that may have different effects on the body, and little is known about which types are best. While studies suggest that most people with lactose intolerance can tolerate up to 400 mg of lactose in medications or supplements, there have been case reports of adverse effects from probiotics ( 35, 36, 37). Normally, histamine that is produced in your digestive tract is naturally degraded by an enzyme called diamine oxidase (DAO). This enzyme inhibits histamine levels from rising enough to cause symptoms ( 23).

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts promoted as having various health benefits. They're usually added to yoghurts or taken as food supplements, and are often described as "good" or "friendly" bacteria. Food Supplements are intended to supplement the diet and should not be substituted for a varied diet or healthy lifestyle. Probiotic ‘good bacteria’ occur naturally in your gut and play a crucial role in this microscopic world. However, they can be disrupted by a range of factors, including poor diet, stress or taking a course of antibiotics.

It turns out that consuming multiple strains of bacteria isn’t good for the gut at all – different cultures target different areas of the gut. Too many targeted areas just over-runs the gut and creates more muscle spasms than normal (there’s more detailed information on the use of multiple strains here). Read on to find out about the different ‘gut friendly’ products you’ll encounter – from probiotic and prebiotic supplements to cultured products like kombucha and kefir. We've examined the evidence for each, and explain what to look out for before giving them a go. Pro and prebiotic supplements Do probiotics work?

We’ve consulted leading gut health experts to untangle what the evidence says about common gut health products, and what simple steps you can take to look after your gut health. What is the gut microbiome? Probiotic foods and supplements can be pricey, and it's hard to cut through the clever marketing and know what's worth buying, and what's best left on the shelf. It’s time we did talk about IBS however, because at last, a natural, scientifically-proven has supplement has been launched that is revolutionising treatment – even for people who’ve tried everything. When infections do occur, they typically respond well to traditional antibiotics or antifungals. However, in rare cases, deaths have occurred ( 48, 50).

What Are Some Reviews of Alflorex?

Your gut contains trillions of such gut bacteria and terms such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria are like family names of these bacteria, also found in probiotic supplements, explains nutritional scientist Dr Eileen Murphy. Within these families are strains of bacteria that are like children of those families. ‘There are many Magees in Britain,’ says Dr Murphy. ‘But there’s only one Anna Magee who was born on this particular date.’ That’s the same with probiotic strains, she explains. ‘There are unique ones that play all different roles in health and you need to find the right strain for the right job because like people, they all have different talents. Although a lot of probiotics claim to help with digestive issues, B. infantis 35624 is the only unique and patented strain that has been clinically studied to specifically target the symptoms of abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, and wind associated with IBS. So its specific talent is IBS.’ Real-life success When histamine levels rise, blood vessels dilate to bring more blood to the affected area. The vessels also become more permeable so that immune cells can easily get into the relevant tissue to combat any pathogens ( 22). Kefir, kimchi, kombucha – supermarket shelves are filling with so-called ‘gut-friendly’ probiotic products. But can they really transform your health, or are you just flushing money down the drain? At Healthista, we look for evidence when it comes to remedies for serious conditions such as IBS. Alflorex’s strong body of scientific research, the anecdotal evidence of its effectiveness and its phenomenal success in the US, suggests it could indeed provide relief for IBS sufferers. How should I take it? But there's little evidence to support many health claims made about them. For example, there's no evidence to suggest that probiotics can help treat eczema.
