Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 From: " Anne " <pokergirl212000@...> What is acidophilis? What foods contain acidophilis? Is acidophilis helpful with constipation? ---------------------------- Anne, Acidophilus is beneficial flora, a probiotic, that helps to keep the sides of the intestinal wall clean so your body can absorb the nutrients from your food through the villi in your intestines. It also produces natural B vitamins in the bowel, which improves the absorption of proteins and other nutrients. Acidophilus works mainly in the small intestine. If you do not have good bowel bacteria, the sides of the small intestine wall becomes impacted with food. This rots and becomes food for bad bacteria and parasites. We need enough of the good bacteria to help keep us healthy and to keep the bad kind in check. Acidophilus helps to keep gas-producing bacteria in the intestine from multiplying too much. Increasing the level of good bacteria in the gut can relieve gas, bloating, and other digestive woes. An imbalance of intestinal bacteria may also contribute to bad breath. Many things can deplete the good guys, including stress, disease, poor digestion, alcohol, tobacco, processed foods, and too much sugar. When these factors come into play, bad bacteria can multiply and take over, leading to a variety of intestinal problems, urinary tract infections, and vaginal yeast infections. Then something must be done to help restore acidophilus to power. If you eat dairy, you can get some acidophilus in fermented milk products, like yogurt or kifir. Maybe other foods besides dairy, I’m not sure – does anyone know? Since I am dairy free, I use acidophilus that has a whole food added to it, which is a food supply (called prebiotic) for the acidophilus, which makes the bacteria strong and able to multiply quickly.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 How would you (or anyone else out there) say that this compares to the porbiotics in cabbage?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Spell check. That should be "probiotics". Sorry, didn't proof-read it before I hit the "send" button. <deuteronomy2929@...> wrote: How would you (or anyone else out there) say that this compares to the porbiotics in cabbage?

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 , Unless someone else has different info, I don't think you're going to get probiotics until the cabbage is fermented....any food that's pickled (not commercial) should have probiotics. It's a staple in the macrobiotic diet for intestinal flora. Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi Kit I drink fermented cabbage juice for my diahrea (however that is spelled). Tastes awful at first, gives me terrible bad breath! It moderats it some, but not much. However, more than anything other than Immodium, which when I take I have to take so much that even the peristolsis (sp?) of swollowing is inhibited, just to stop the scoots. Still looking for answers, as always.....

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 - have you ever tried just cabbage juice? Or does it have to be fermented? Just curious, because cabbage juice is not bad tasting and doesn't seem to give me bad breath, at least Joe hasn't turned me out of the bed!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, all things considered, Marilyn definitely won't turn me out of bed, even for bad breath! I just pound out the cabbage, let it sit for a couple of days in the fridge (sealed), then strain off the liquid. It does help some. So does the Kimchi that I eat almost regularly. Actually, lately, the scoots have not been a problem at all. Just major gas!! And I am talking MAJOR!!! I sure am the life of the party!

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 Well, I guess I’m not sure. But I think the cabbage has to be fermented to contain probiotics. I guess if you could eat that every day you could get enough good bacteria. I’m not sure about this, anyone know?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 I don't know for sure, but I think kimchi (fermented cabbage) has more probiotics than yogurt, and of course no dairy to deal with. I always keep a jar of kimchi in the fridge and try to eat a spoonful or more every afternoon (that's when I get a taste for something pickle-y).
