Probiotics!!!!! They can help with digestion, bloating, rashes and more!

Signs that you need probiotics...
1. You were on Antibiotics: anitbiotic means anti-life. If you've used antibiotics recently (within the past year), you have probably killed off many of your probiotics. Your digestive track may be at risk and you may feel like you are coming down with every cold, flu and even pneumonia out there. 
2. "I have poor digestion"- Sore gut, bloating, burping, digestive problems, cramps, diarrhea, gas, Crohn's? Try a probiotic!
3. Food Poisoning: Taking a probiotic supplement (powder or pill).
4. Skin Conditions-acne, eczema, rashes, hives, psoriasis-most likely due to poor digestion and decreased probiotics. 
5. Yeast Infections- Probiotics can reduce symptoms and help clear the infection up quicker!
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for your health, especially your digestive system/gut. We usually think of bacteria as something that causes diseases. But your body is full of bacteria, both good and bad. Probiotics are often called "good" or "helpful" bacteria because they help keep your gut healthy.
Probiotics are naturally found in your body. You can also find them in some foods and supplements. Supplements are quick and easy to add to your day.
It's only been since about the mid-1990s that people have wanted to know more about probiotics and their health benefits. Doctors often suggest them to help with digestive problems. And because of their new-found fame, you can find them in everything from yogurt to chocolate. But...sometimes we are not getting enough!

How Do They Work?

Researchers are trying to figure out exactly how probiotics work. Here are some of the ways they may keep you healthy:

  • When you lose "good" bacteria in your body (like after you take antibiotics, for example), probiotics can help replace them.
  • They can lower the amount of "bad" bacteria in your system that can cause infections or other problems.
  • They can help balance your "good" and "bad" bacteria to keep your body working like it should.
Please contact me if you would like to try USANA Probiotic: $32.05 for 14 sachets. I have recently started to use these every other day! That comes to a little over $2 per. Message me if you want to hear what it's doing for me!
There are also several other products in pill form that you could use. I prefer to sprinkle these, mix them in fluids or take on my tongue when I feel a cold coming on.
