Dysbiosis is a disorder of the intestinal microflora that can be successfully treated with proper nutrition and specialized medications containing beneficial bacteria.

 

We all carry between 1 to 3 kg of bacteria, many of which reside in the intestines.

 

Key beneficial bacteria include lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. They play a crucial role not only in the digestion process but also in maintaining our immune system.

 

A deficiency of these bacteria can lead not only to dysbiosis but also to more serious diseases.

 

CAUSES OF DYSBIOSIS

 

First of all, it is important to determine how dysbiosis occurs. Learn more at our website.

There are several main causes of dysbiosis:

 

  1. Uncontrolled use of antibiotics.

  2. Intestinal infections.

  3. Food poisoning.

  4. Gastrointestinal diseases such as gastritis, ulcers, gallstone disease, and pancreatitis.

  5. Surgery on the stomach or intestines.

  6. Poor nutrition.

  7. Psycho-emotional stress.

 

SYMPTOMS OF DYSBIOSIS

The main symptoms of dysbiosis include: stool disorders (constipation or diarrhea), bloating, heaviness in the abdomen, loss of appetite, general weakness, malaise, and headaches.

TREATMENT OF DYSBIOSIS

 

It is important to remember that the treatment of dysbiosis includes not only proper nutrition but also the use of preparations containing probiotics and prebiotics.

 

Probiotics are groups of medical preparations with a high concentration of beneficial bacteria for the intestinal microflora.

 

Prebiotics are substances that promote the growth and reproduction of healthy bacteria in the intestines.

 

PROBIOTICS

What is important to know about probiotics? Firstly, they are divided into preparations containing only lactobacilli or only bifidobacteria (monopreparations).

 

There are also combined preparations containing both types of bacteria.

 

The most well-known probiotics available in pharmacies include:

 

Lactobacilli can be found in:

Acylact

Biobacton

Lactobacterin

 

Bifidobacteria can be found in:

Bifidumbacterin forte

Probifor

 

Combined preparations:

Florin Forte

Linex

Bifikol

Bifiform

 

Which of the preparations is the most effective for treating dysbiosis? There is no definitive answer to this question.

 

To accurately determine the deficiency of bacteria, it is recommended to conduct a stool test for dysbiosis and undergo treatment under a doctor's supervision.

 

PREBIOTICS

Prebiotics are divided into two groups. The first group consists of preparations based on lactulose.

 

Lactulose is a substance derived from milk whey that suppresses the growth of harmful bacteria and supports the beneficial microflora of the intestines.

 

The second group of prebiotics includes di- and trisaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, dietary fibers, enzymes, antioxidants, and plant extracts.

 

Both groups of prebiotics effectively contribute to the normalization of intestinal microflora.

 

Lactulose-based prebiotics:

Dufalak

Romfalak

Portalak

Normase

 

Other prebiotics:

Hilak forte

Maxilac

Lactusan

Prelax

Lactofiltrum

Eubikor, etc.
