What is Antibiotic Associated Diarrhoea (AAD)?

Normally the large intestine maintains a delicate balance with the billions of bacteria that live inside it. Most of these are the “good bacteria” and they both aid in digestion and fight off the “bad bacteria” (your intestine has some of those, as well). Antibiotics work by killing off bacteria, but they can’t distinguish between the “good” and the “bad” bacteria. As a result, the “good” bacteria in the colon get destroyed and the delicate balance in the colon is disrupted and symptoms of diarrhoea and stomach cramps may be the result.

How do Probiotics Benefit the Immune System?

Probiotics are live micro-organisms found in the tissues lining the GI tract and are called “friendly bacteria” due to their ability to support overall health. It is believed that up to 70 percent of the body’s immune capacity may reside in these tissues, serving as an important defence against illness. Probiotics are acid and bile resistant. Not only do they pass stomach acid, they implant in the intestine, produce digestive enzymes, vitamins, lactic acid and natural antibiotics. There is mounting research that eating foods rich in probiotics, such as cheeses and yogurt, or taking probiotic supplements, is effective in preventing certain diseases and improving disease symptoms.
