Probiotics are supplements of bacteria that is good for the GI tract (so called "good bacteria"). A common formula of probiotics is called PB-8. There are many formulas of probiotics. Each formula has a different strain or strains of bacteria that is known to be "good." By "good" they mean that these bacteria are either helpful in digestion OR they cause the "bad" bacteria to be less in number.

How do the oral supplements containing prebiotics and probiotics survive the hydrochloric acid in the stomach?
Probiotics and prebiotics very well may not survive the stomach. All those claims about your yogurt helping your digestion may very well be bunk- if the bacteria can't make it through your stomach, a lot of good they'll do you in your intestines. I haven't investigated oral supplements, but if these are enteric coated, they might be able to make it, in theory. Enteric coating is an especially strong coating which is designed to make it through the harsh acid of the stomach without digesting completely. Only once it reaches the intestines will it dissolve. It has been suggested in a study carried out in the US that Probiotics whether dead or alive can improve gut health.

Can probiotics cause yeast infections?
Quite the opposite! A good probiotic supplement should actually help with candida (yeast overgrowth). There are a few things to look out for when picking out a probiotic supplement. 1. Make sure it's potent, 1 million active bacteria is not enough. Look for 20 billion and up. 2. Make sure it doesn't contain FOS or prebiotics. Prebiotics feed all bacteria, good and bad. It can cause bloating and other digestive issues. 3. Make sure it's a strain with human origins, not soil! Strains from soil can have dangerous heavy metals.
What causes apple cider vinegar craving?
Apple Cider Vinegar, especially unfiltered and unpasturized apple cider vinegar is a superior prebiotic food. Prebiotics are the food that our intestinal microflora (probiotics) need to thrive. Other foods such as cultered vegetables (fermented/pickled vegetables) and young coconut kefir are also excellent prebiotics for our probiotics. For more information on this topic, I found the following website very helpful with researching the cravings I had for apple cider vinegar: http://www.bodyecology.com/07/04/05/apple_cider_vinegar.php I just came off of the Master Cleanse diet after 21 days and this is when my cravings started happening. With such intense cleansing, the digestive tract is severely depleted of the microflora the body needs to break down the food and aid with the absorption of nutrients. These beneficial microflora (probiotics) are essential not only for digestion but also for immunity to parasites and disease. Hope this helps! Rachel
