Probiotics or Friendly Bacteria



The human body is home to about 100 trillion bacteria. For every cell, your body harbors about 10 bacteria. Taking antibiotics can have a massive impact on your normal bacterial population, depleting sensitive organisms and allowing resistant ones to overgrow.

The most common effect is antibiotic-induced diarrhea, which may be prevented by the use of probiotics. The best-studied probiotics are Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast, dubbed "yeast against yeast" in France, Lactobacillus rhamnosis GG, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sporogenes.

The normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora synthesizes B vitamins, biotin and vitamin K, which are absorbed and utilized by humans. Depletion of normal bacteria by prolonged antibiotic therapy may produce vitamin deficits. Bleeding caused by vitamin K deficiency has occurred as a result of cephalosporin antibiotics.

High-dose penicillin therapy can lead to increased excretion of potassium by the kidneys. When combined with antibiotic-induced diarrhea or poor appetite, this effect may lead to potassium deficiency, with fatigue and muscle weakness as primary symptoms.

When taking antibiotics for several weeks, it may be worthwhile to take probiotics and a multivitamin.

As I have highlighted here, research has revealed how antibiotic treatment can be impacted by foods, such as dairy, and supplements, such as calcium, and herbs. Antibiotics may also lead to nutritional deficiencies, and beneficial bacteria can be reduced.
