Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifida are believed beneficial

"probiotic" bacteria as they can help to sustain intestinal health. While
beneficial bacteria may be discovered in some yogurt, there's a wide

fluctuation in the amount and quality. Search for great quality organic

yogurt that imparts the active cultures after pasteurization, as this heat

process demolishes both beneficial and bad bacteria.

Supplementations containing acidophilus and bifidobacteria may be

discovered in health food stores. They're particularly helpful for the

following circumstances:

 Irritable bowel syndrome

 Looseness of the bowels

 Gas, bloating, flatulence

 Repeating vaginal yeast infections
 Foul breath
