The intestines are stocked with a wide range of bacteria.

Many conditions may damage digestive system flora. It is often useful to restore bowel flora.

This procedure often helps to restore digestive competence as a result of damaged bowel flora.

Principles:

· Use spectral probiotics sources which provide as many species as possible

· Use multiple doses over time to enable repopulation of the bowel

· Buffer stomach acid to enhance probiotics survival

· Eat foods which favor flora reproduction

It may be useful to follow this program with a bowel flora reseeding protocol. This involves use of Keifir or yogurt, or probiotics, over a period of time. Here is a bowel restock protocol:

· Obtain high grade probiotics which contain a spectrum of organisms. Pure acidophilus is helpful, but the gut has many different varieties.

· Obtain yogurt or preferably Kefir (available at health food stores. Kefir is preferable because it has more species of probiotics available to more completely repopulate the gut flora).

· Take at least 3 Billion units of probiotics every ½ hour for three to six hours. Swallow capsules with water with ¼ tsp of baking soda. Baking soda neutralizes stomach acid which enables the more organisms to survive stomach acid.

· Eat yogurt, Kefir, if tolerated to satisfy hunger.

· Return to moderate, easy to digest foods the following day.
