Do you need probiotics?

How can you tell if your GI flora are out of balance? Here are some indications that you may need more friendly bacteria in your system:

• Symptoms of GI sensitivity (cramps, diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, IBS
• Gluten sensitivity, sensitivity to sugar, or other food sensitivities
• Yeast infections, cold sores, thrush
• Urinary tract infections
• Headaches, migraines, stuffy nose, increased mucus production
• Joint aches
• Rosacea, acne, or other skin problems
• Other inflammatory conditions, like asthma
• Fatigue, irritability
• Chronic bad breath (halitosis)
• Increased symptoms of PMS, or menopause

(Note: Although these symptoms can indicate floral imbalance, they can also indicate more serious conditions. See your healthcare provider with any ongoing concerns.)

I also recommend probiotics during cold and flu season, and to help prevent food poisoning and parasites while traveling.

In addition, probiotics should be used when you’re taking antibiotics, and for at least two weeks afterwards. Antibiotics can be life-saving and absolutely essential; when used judiciously, but it's so important to help the good bacteria grow back once the bad strains have been decimated. People with compromised immune systems, however, should consult an experienced healthcare provider when using probiotics.

How to choose a probiotic supplement

Probiotics come in a wide range of formulations, from encapsulated beads and powders to enteric-coated capsules and liquid functional foods. Most prefer powdered probiotics in capsules that do not require refrigeration.

The best general purpose probiotic supplements combine several beneficial bacteria with a competitive yeast. Look for supplements that contain Saccharomyces, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and bifidobacteria in the billions. Certain brands feature every probiotic organism ever described, or tout zillions of CFU’s (colony-forming units) per dose. But more is not always better when it comes to probiotics — the concern is that too many active organisms could produce the very symptoms we seek to alleviate.

The probiotic you choose should also include a prebiotic, such as FOS or inulin to help the flora survive the acidic environment of the upper GI tract.

One additional concern is the way a probiotic has been manufactured. Be sure that you're buying a supplement made in a GMP-compliant facility that is certified by the NSF, which helps ensure product purity, safety, and quality.

Naturally, what really matters is how well a probiotic works for your system. You should begin to feel a difference within a week or two but if not, I encourage you to try a different variety, combination, or brand.

Every "body" is different and has its own ideal microfloral balance. These supplements are remarkably safe, so it's okay to experiment. Just be sure to give it a couple of weeks to show benefits.

There are few probiotics of high quality on the market today, but again what's most important is whether it works for you. Just make sure any probiotic you buy has the qualities listed above, and make sure you feel a difference.
