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.

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
