Probiotics help to maintain the numbers of 'healthy' bacteria in the colon (large intestine); these bacteria are necessary for the final stage of digestion of starchy foods, and they also produce some vitamins. The bacteria can be destroyed by antibiotics, or the numbers can get too low as the result of an unhealthy diet, and probiotics are a good way of making sure you have enough of them.
