Probiotics aid in digestion and help prevent or treat gastrointestinal disorders (such as Crohn's disease and irritable bowel), constipation, diarrhea and gastrointestinal infections. Probiotics have also been shown to prevent urinary tract infections, yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. Some may lower cholesterol. Some may also help protect the body from carcinogenic effects of some of the other intestinal flora that can be present. Studies have shown evidence that they boost the immune system and prevent infection. There is even evidence that they prevent obesity and prevent childhood Allergies when taken during pregnancy.
Probiotics don't just keep our gut in balance, but they appear to have a more wide reaching positive affect on our overall health. More research needs to be done to know which ones in particular are best for treating which diseases, but there is a lot of info out there right now.
