Some people get constipated. At this time, they may take probiotics to recuperate, but is it useful to eat probiotics for constipation?

Probiotics can treat constipation. Probiotics include Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Gram-positive cocci. When patients' intestinal flora is out of balance, probiotics decrease and pathogenic bacteria increase, and patients will have constipation, diarrhea, indigestion, abdominal pain and other symptoms. After oral probiotics treatment, oral probiotics are decomposed into acidic substances such as lactic acid and acetic acid in the intestine, and the pH value in the intestine of patients decreases, which stimulates intestinal mucosa to secrete mucus and improves intestinal microenvironment. The patient's intestinal cavity volume increases, which stimulates intestinal peristalsis, accelerates intestinal emptying and improves constipation. So constipation patients can be treated with probiotics.

Probiotics also have the function of relieving allergy: allergy is an immune disease and an imbalance of human immune function. When foreign substances or organisms stimulate the immune system to produce too much immunoglobulin (IgE), people with allergic constitution will release a substance called histamine, which will cause allergic symptoms. Probiotic therapy is one of the effective methods for adjuvant treatment of allergies at home and abroad. Probiotics can be used to regulate immunoglobulin (IgE) antibodies in vivo, so as to realize immunotherapy and alleviate allergies.
