What has caused the death of good bacteria in the gut?

I had a number of emails and I thought I explain more here. In fact, I had used the same strategy to getting my IBS under controlled.

I was already a firm believer of natural food healing and understood the meaning of getting the right nutrients into the body. By getting the body 'strong' not just to receive right nutrients but also provide the 'right' protection.

let's face it, in our urban life now, our bodies are bombarded with millions and millions of 'bad' elements and it is not going to decrease unless you go somewhere remote. How many of us can really do that. Our environment are been assaulted every minute. Food is no longer 'clean' - it comes 'free' with pesticides and chemicals. Even livestock like chicken, cows, pigs and others are been fed with growth enhancers. And to top it all, our living environment have become even more stressful. We work more now than our forefathers, we have more problems to address on the daily basis than our forefathers. Our lives now have become more complicated. Lack of sleep and sleep deprivation are also 'hurting' our bodies.

Even drugs have contributed to 'attacking' our own bodies. Modern medicine has improved our lives, curing diseases and help to alleviate pain. But the same medicine also cause harm. Antibiotics already hailed as a miracle drug also harms if taken long term and frequently. It is the strong killer of good bacteria in the gut (it kills off the bad ones too).

That is why i advocate taking probiotics or plenty of yogurt when you take antibiotics. It will help to repair damage done by the antibiotics.

I made it a priority to make sure that my gut is in good shape. After all this is the only way (natural way) we get nutrients from our food. I take a lot of yogurt on a daily basis and I can say that I have significantly improved my control over my IBS.

Best regards
