Low FODMAP Diet

Probiotics and food intolerances: some interesting facts

Our intestinal tract contains around 39 trillion microorganisms that help us break down indigestible food components – fiber, for example – for the body to make use of them. Most of the intestinal flora is found in the large intestine. Over time, the metabolic processes of many lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria have become closely interlinked with our own, resulting in a symbiosis that benefits both the bacteria and the host. The bacteria get nutrients and a fertile place to multiply and in return form vitamins and short-chain fatty acids that are essential for many bodily functions.
