There are over 100,000 billion viable bacteria
in your digestive system made up of some 400 different kinds.
Maintaining a proper balance between friendly bacteria
and harmful bacteria is important to good health. With the explosive
use of antibiotics today, many people may experience unexpected
side effects as the good bacteria are destroyed along with disease-causing
bacteria.
Along with decreased digestive function, you may also experience
gas, bloating, toxicity or bad breath, acid reflux (heart burn).
Stomach acid is important for proper digestion but when there
is too much it can result in pain. Heartburn, a burning feeling
in the middle of the chest, is caused by stomach acid leaking
up into the esophagus. Acid indigestion is similar but located
in the stomach. It is caused by acid irritating the stomach
lining or duodenum.
Individuals with heartburn can take steps to limit the condition.
Avoiding certain foods like alcohol, chocolate, caffeinated
drinks or fatty foods as well as not smoking or laying down
right after a meal can help.
