Better Digestion
Bellyaching: Digestive Health
The omnipotent tummy-ache. It has been responsible for keeping kids home from school, folks sequestered from dreaded work and has probably ruined a wedding or two in its day. Usually the condition is innocuous and temporary, perhaps the result of too many tamales or hot dogs, but sometimes, digestive problems have other underlying causes. At the minimum, bloating, diarrhea, gas and stomach cramps are unpleasant and if experienced often, can take away from quality of life.
Can’t Stomach it: Digestive difficulties
Poor diet, stress, or a course of antibiotics can cause your system to get out of whack, sometimes resulting in various stomach problems including Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). As many as one in five American adults has IBS. 1 Stress can really exacerbate IBS symptoms and one way to counteract this is to exercise, get plenty of sleep, take a yoga class or meditate. Making smart food choices and getting plenty of fiber in your diet can also help, while eschewing processed fast food and other nutritionally deficient snacks. It’s always a good idea to consume plenty of water as it can assuage constipation problems associated with IBS. If you have acute stomach pain or your symptoms do not get better in a timely fashion, it is imperative that you seek medical attention to determine the cause of your stomach problems. Ongoing digestive issues or pain can be a sign of a more serious medical condition.

Let’s hear it for the probiotic: Healthy bugs
There is a constant standoff between healthy and harmful micro-organisms in the body. The healthy ones called “microflora” reside in the digestive track and are protective in nature. “Pathogens” the villains of the micro-organism world are the opposite. When “microflora” levels decline in our bodies due to aging, traveling or some prescription drug use, “pathogens” can multiply to counteract the “good bacteria” in our systems. Enter “probiotics” to the rescue. Probiotics can be taken to support healthy digestion, strengthen the immune system and fight off infections and other digestive disorders. Another recent study presented at the American College of Gastroenterology again confirmed that probiotics are effective in treating the symptoms in patients suffering from IBS. 2 In addition, supplementing probiotics in your diet can be particularly helpful when taking a course of antibiotics because antibiotics eliminate the bug that is making you sick but can also kill off the good bugs in the digestive tract.
Tummy Tamers: Supplemental slayers
Probiotic BuddiesTM can do just that. It can increase the production of those healthy micro-organisms (probiotics) in the digestive track while inhibiting harmful ones that disrupt the digestive process. As a result, it improves the absorption rates of dietary minerals, vitamins and nutrients. And unlike lesser products, Probiotic Buddies contains 10 billion viable "good" bacteria per vege-capsule and utilizes patented Probiocap® technology to protect the strains.
