Our gut is lined with about 100 billion bacteria consisting of up to 1000 identified species.

Roles of flora bacteria:

• Support the immune system,
• producing serotonin.
• making energy from the food we eat.
• disposing of foreign substances and toxins.
• Keep the gut healthy.

Sometimes, because of bad diet, infections, travelling, hygiene issues and sanitation habits, or illnesses like diarrhoea our gut flora loses its balance, and the bad bacteria starts to grow.

 It is important to preserve and rebuild this balance, this is the time that probiotics must intervene and become the hero to fight the harmful germs, and restore the balance of the gut flora. These microorganisms can inhibit pathogen growth in intestine by producing organic acids and antimicrobial factors

Why do we need probiotics?

• Stronger immune system
• Improved digestion
• Better metabolism
• Increased energy from production of vitamin B12
• Better breath because probiotics destroy candida
• Reduced cold and flu
• Even controlling blood sugar level both in healthy or diabetic people

COLIC

Colic episodes often peak about 6 weeks of life and drop dramatically around 3 to 4 months of age. While the frequent crying will eventually stop, dealing with colic adds a substantial amount of stress to caring for your newborn kid.

You may take efforts to reduce the severity and duration of colic episodes, reduce your personal stress, and boost your trust in the parent-child relationship.

Symptoms

Colic is often characterized as crying for three or more hours per day, three or more days per week, and for three or more weeks. Symptoms of colic may include the following:

Sometimes there is relief in symptoms after the infant passes gas or has a bowel movement. Gas is likely the result of swallowed air during prolonged crying.

The causes of colic

Experts are unsure what causes colic, although it can occur when babies

• Having a milk allergy or intolerance
• Being sensitive to gas.
