A healthy population of acidophilus in your intestinal tract crowds out potential pathogens and promotes a healthy intestinal environment that may help alleviate some forms of diarrhea.
How do acidophiles regulate their pH? Normally, high acid levels destroy cells.

These mechanisms include passive regulation (not requiring the cell to expend energy) and active regulation (requiring energy).
