PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS – What are they all about..? Background • Probiotics are dietary supplements • • containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeast, with lactic acid bacteria { LAB } LAB have been used in the food industry for many years, because they are able to convert sugars and other carbohydrates into lactic acid. This provides characteristic sour taste of fermented dairy foods such as yogurt, and acts as a preservative, by lowering the pH. And… • Prebiotics are a category of functional food, defined as : Non digestable food ingredients that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and / or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon, and thus improve the host health. Eg; oligosaccharides The Theory • The body contains a miniature ecology of microbes, collectively known as gut flora. • The number of bacterial types can be thrown out of balance by a wide range of circumstances including the use of antibiotics or other drugs, excess alcohol, stress, disease, exposure to toxic substances , or even the use of antibacterial soap. Really…? • Do they survive in the acidic stomach environment, the alkaline conditions in the duodenum, as well as their ability to adhere to the intestinal mucosa of the colon and to colonize the colon. Some probiotics such as Lactobacillus GG and Lactobacillus plantarum, do. After passage through the stomach and the small intestine, they become established transiently in the colon. Also… • Lactobacillus casei has been demonstrated to increase levels of circulating Ig A in infants infected with rota virus. • Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum appear to enhance the nonspecific immune phagocytic activity of circulating blood granulocytes. So… • I suggest when giving antibiotics to all • • age groups apart from pregnant and breast feeding Anecdotal evidence so far: less D&V ,lower incidence of vaginal thrush, controlled diverticulosis. Potential s/e theoretically include flattulence/ constipation/ Lactobacillus bacteremia and endocarditis. And… ….has been found to secrete a protease which digests two protein exotoxins, toxin A and toxin B , which appear to mediate diarrhoea and collitis caused by Clostridium difficle • Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and bacterium lactis Bb 12 produce significant improvement of atopic eczema in children: the decrease in the signs and symptoms occurred in parallel with a reduction in the concentration of circulating CD4+ T lymphocytes and an increase in TGF – beta 1, indicating suppressive effects on T cell functions in this disorder. The players • Bifidobacterium • Lactobacillus • Lactococcus • Saccharomyces • Streptococcus • Thermophilus • Enterococcus How do they work…? • Probiotics may have antibacterial, immunomodulatory,anticarcinogenic, antidiarrhoeal, antiallergenic and antioxidant activities. • The antibacterial activity may partially be due to the ability to colonise the colon and reinforce the barrier function of the intestinal mucosa.
