Bacteria

The bacteria inside us form a teeming, busy ecosystem. Changing or harming one species will have repercussions on the other species and on the host itself.

While we are used to thinking of the earth's ecosystems in this way, it may seem strange that these same principles govern our internal environments. This environment is all too easily altered, especially in our world of antibiotics. And many people suffer from IBS due to a microbial imbalance in their digestive tract.

There are three major categories of bacteria:

1. Good bacteria, such as acidophilus and bifidobacterium;
2. Bad bacteria, too numerous to mention but rarely tested for in most clinics;
3. Ugly bacteria, so dangerous that you've probably heard about them before.

It's also important to know that yeast (Candida) and parasites can also be a significant cause of IBS symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain.

A deficiency of good bacteria and/or the presence of bad and ugly bacteria, yeast (Candida) or parasites will cause a variety of digestive problems, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, and even nutritional deficiencies. There are tests to diagnose each of these problems. And once diagnosed, all these conditions are readily treatable.

Information on the detection and treatment of deficiencies in good bacteria, as well as the detection and treatment of unwanted bacteria, yeast (Candida) and parasites on the IBS Treatment Center website.
