There are two main forms of probiotics; the first is the live cultures I
describe above, such as the strains of Lactobacillus
and Bifidobacterium. You may have heard some naysaying about this
type of probiotic—the conventional argument against them is that the
classic form of live cultures is destroyed by the acidic environment in the stomach.
To have surrounding this, quality probiotics are created by having an acid-resistant capsule in order that they don't get immediately broken down. (Which means there isn't
to take the probiotics with food, although I normally do.
I'll sometimes break the capsule and mix it into a shake, or utilize the powder form.
You may lose a little potency but it's not significant.)
The next type of probiotics are soil-based organisms (SBO), which are
generally more resistant to acid in the gut. Here's the thinking
behind soil-based probiotics: Many people (particularly in the paleo community) think that widespread gut and health problems today are the consequence
of life in a too-clean society. Before, when more individuals worked in the dirt,
played in the dirt, there was less obsessing over cleanliness and antibacterial products, we got
more natural contact with probiotics. The advantage of soil-based probiotics is they come from the
planet earth, and the bacteria (which remain living) have their very own natural,
protective capsule surrounding them. I would recommend soil-based
probiotics to patients with autoimmunity, in addition to the classic
form. They're particularly helpful for those who have SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)—with SIBO, you also have an overgrowth of good bacteria; and in this case, the classic
form of probiotic isn't the thing you need to fight the infection.
You may have heard some questions over whether SBOs are safe:
The NIH includes a presumed case report, which hasn't been 100 percent
verified, of someone with Lymphoma getting septicemia
from having a SBO (the organism B. subtilis). Some say that when you yourself
have leaky gut, you must heal it before supplementing with SBOs.
If you should be immunocompromised or have cancer, you are
able to consult with a physician first to be safe.
I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that's equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you've hit the
nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few men and women are speaking intelligently
about. I am very happy that I came across this during my search for something relating to this.
After I originally commented I seem to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I receive four emails with the same comment.
Is there a means you can remove me from that service?
Appreciate it!
Greetings! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with hackers and I'm looking at
alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hello! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog

I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to
assist with Search Engine Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good results.
If you know of any please share. Thanks!
I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across
a blog that's both equally educative and entertaining, and without a
doubt, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough
folks are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I found this during my hunt for something relating to this.
