What Causes Diarrhea?
There are many things that can cause diarrhea. Some of these can include stress and medical conditions. One of the most common causes of diarrhea is bad bacteria that has been ingested along with the foods you've eaten. Usually we can tolerate a certain level of these undesirable bacteria in our system, but depending on how much is ingested or how healthy our intestinal tract is, we can have a very bad reaction to these bacteria that in extreme cases, or if left unchecked, can be life-threatening.
Dietary supplements known as probiotics may be able to play a significant role in combating these undesirable bacteria both by direct inhibition and by up-regulating the immune system.
PROBIOTICS – WHAT ARE THEY AND CAN THEY HELP?
Probiotics, one of the fastest growing categories of dietary supplements, are products containing beneficial Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species of bacteria. Probiotic bacteria colonize the intestinal tract and help maintain a healthy microflora that stops the overgrowth of undesireable microorganisms.
When a person is deficient in probiotics the immune system is not operating at peak strength and this may predispose the person to experience an acute reaction to food poisoning microorganisms. Such a person may react negatively to a lower dose of these microorganisms compared to a person with a healthy, up-regulated immune system.
Where do probiotics come from?
Although some yogurts contain probiotic bacteria they do not deliver a high enough dose of live probiotic cells (measured as CFU or colony forming units) through the acidic stomach into the small intestine. The ability of a product to deliver a sufficient live dose is a critical requirement.
The best probiotic effect is obtained with medical strength probiotics such as TruFlora® (those delivering at least 10 billion CFU/dose) – this is the dose recommended by the International Probiotic Association (IPA) and a number of probiotic researchers.
But how can a high enough dosage be delivered?
Since the biggest difficulty is getting the necessary dose of probiotic supplements through the acid of the stomach, delivering ample CFUs becomes an issue. Many probiotic supplement makers simply "play the numbers game" and count on about only 5% or less of the product actually surviving long enough to make it to the intestines. ONLY 5%!
To achieve the best probiotic effect, at least 10 billion CFU/dose is recommended. But how can that dosage be delivered if 95% is killed by stomach acid?
The answer lies in an acid proof, deep release delivery system. Right now, TruFlora® is one of only two probiotics on the market that has this acid proof delivery
system. Theralac® is the other.
TruFlora® is a multi-strain probiotic that will deliver a guaranteed 15 billion CFU*, utilizing it's acid proof, deep release technology.
*Our most recent batch of TruFlora® is guaranteed at 15 billion CFU, but tested at 42 billion!
TruFlora® will keep in your refrigerator for 2 years at the guaranteed strength of 15 billion CFU and is excellent to keep on hand in case of diarrhea and food poisoning.
When you first start feeling the symptoms of food poisoning or diarrhea coming on, start taking 2 capsules every 2 hours until you no longer have symptoms
