9. Allergies
Healthy bacteria train your body to distinguish between good and bad bacteria as well as toxins. This helps prevent your immune system from overreacting to non-harmful antigens which is the beginning of allergies. Speaking of beginnings, an analysis of clinical trials showed that women who took probiotics during pregnancy reduced their child’s risk of developing allergies. Then there’s “leaky gut.” Remember this from #7? It occurs when toxins escape through the intestine’s walls due to gaps between cells in the walls. Leaky gut can be a contributing factor to allergies. You can boost your guts’ healthy bacteria and correct this by avoiding processed foods (and possibly grains) and getting probiotics, either in foods or in supplements.
10. IBS
IBS is irritable bowel syndrome. It is one of the most common intestinal issues and also one of the most difficult to treat. There is no one “cure-all;” however, many experts agree that probiotics can have a hugely helpful hand in alleviating some, but not always all, of the symptoms. The probiotic, Bifidobacterium infantis, has shown to alleviate symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and irregularity. And multispecies probiotics have shown to alleviate abdominal pain and discomfort as well as bloating. If you suffer from IBS and want to try a probiotic to relieve your symptoms, talk to your doctor about which strain might work best.
