Guest guest Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi Alobar, Probiotics help to restore the good bacteria to your gut so you don't have to end up living with a bag attached to you because your colon had to be removed. Good bacteria can be killed from the use of antibiotics. Eating fermented foods such as yogurt and sauerkraut are both healthy ways to add probiotics naturally. Of course, there are also quality probiotics in capsule form that do a good job of providing replacement cultures to the gut.
