What Everyone Needs To Know About Laxatives And Constipation

Probiotics

Probiotics are the 'good' bacteria in the gut that improve an individual's immune system health and keep things running smoothing in the digestive tract. Many individuals use probiotics to promote regularity and to prevent or relieve constipation. Foods considered good sources of probiotics are yogurt, sauerkraut, miso, tempeh, kefir, dark chocolate, and pickles. Taking a probiotic supplement is also a good way for individuals to include more probiotics in their diet. However, individuals looking to try this option should start slowly and should not increase their consumption of probiotics to more than twenty or thirty billion colony forming units as this may cause digestive distress such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea.
