Why You Need Bacteria in Your Colon

Bacteria in your intestines are called by many different names - probiotics, good or bad bacteria, beneficial bacteria, acidophilus, disbiosis, microflora, Proflora, friendly plants, bacteria and unfriendly.

I simple use good and bad bacteria refer to bacteria that exist in the small intestine and your colon.

Your colon has both good and bad bacteria. The good bacteria maintain the health of your colon by the bad bacteria frommultiplying and reducing constipation.

Most people have bad bacteria as the dominant condition in their intestines. You can do this by the illnesses that exist throughout the world. Most people who suffer from diseases later in life, which resulted from colon neglect and abuse.

Bad bacteria multiples when you,

* Poisons such as pollution, pesticides, additives consumed such as preservatives, coloring, so on.
* Do you drink alcohol
* Eating processed foods
*Do you have more fear
* Lack of fiber in your diet
* Use the Pill
* Do not use drugstore laxatives
* Use drugs and medication

Good bacteria in your colon consists of hundred species of bacteria. The good bacteria are most active at pH 5.9 to 6.9-an acidic environment. This makes for a healthy bowel.

Your colon serves as home for the good bacteria, certain carbohydrates, which in turn keep your colon ferment Environmentslightly acidic. The acid environment favors the good bacteria and keeps the bad bacteria and pathogens from multiplying.

The bad bacteria create an alkaline environment and are most active at pH 7.1 to 7.9

Here too, the good bacteria creates an acidic environment and are most active at pH 5.9 to 6.9

Acidophilus and Bifidus are the main good bacteria that are present in your intestines. The ascending colon is on the right side of the abdomen area, the mostBacteria. The quantity of bacteria becomes less in the transverse colon and less in the descending colon. Finally, some bacteria found in the sigmoid colon and rectum.

When good beneficial bacteria is dominant in your colon, it prevents the spread of disease from various organisms - parasites, bacteria, viruses, fungi. The specific organisms

Shigella, Salmonella, virus, encephalitis, protozoa, amoeba, staphylococcus, herpes, influenza, common cold viruses, comphylobacter,and CMV, are the ones who creates deadly diseases such as dysentery, blood poisoning, meningitis, pneumonia, influenza and encephalitis

The good bacteria keep these organisms in the minority and thus prevent them from multiplying, always in the blood and in various organs of the body. They do this by their antibiotic like secretions, lactic acid production and other secretions to keep their environment acidic.

The good bacteria live and thrive on carbohydrates. If yourBody has reached a good digestion and little carbohydrates in your colon, the good bacteria population decreases and dominate the bad bacteria.

Good bacteria need to be fed, so that a dominant position in your colon. If you have any good bacteria in the colon on the left, then by feeding them, you multiply them himself. If there are no good bacteria in the gut, then you can not restore the good bacteria by eating specific carbohydrate foods. To restoregood bacteria, under this condition, you need a flora enema.

In his book, Acidophilus and Colon Health, 1999, David Webster, also says:

"Indicators for a healthy colon flora are a soft but well-formed stool, with amber color and little or no odor, and it floats in water most of the time. If the stools are dark brown, dry, too tight or too loose and formed especially if it is a foul odor, these clear signs of decay bacteria, alkali-producingColon flora. Chronic constipation, diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome are often eliminated when your colon is restored and remain in a slightly acidic pH value received. "

In his research, Webster found that feeding the remaining rejuvenated good bacteria edible lactose whey, the good bacteria in the colon. By drinking 2 to 5 tablespoons or more each day in a cup with distilled water enough lactose can reach your colon, the good Bacteria feed. Webster recommends doingthis for 30 days. After this deadline, you can check your chair to see if you have reactivated you good bacteria
