Lactic acid bacteria and the human gastrointestinal tract
Article Abstract:
Studies of the impact of lactic acid bacteria on the human gastrointestinal tract indicate that these bacteria seem to improve lactose absorption in lactose malabsorbers when administered in fermented dietary milk products. This is not the case when lactic acid bacteria are administered in infermented milk products. There is evidence that lactic acid bacteria limit the course of infectious diarrhoea, particularly in young children with rotavirus diarrhoea. It is possible that lactic acid bacteria have an effect on the colonic flora in situations where some form of imbalance exists.
