Now I make yoghurt only on Yogulakta. Not a single puncture, excellent taste (I have been striving for this for a long time) and consistency.
🔗The microorganisms that make up Yogulact retain their viability in the acidic environment of the stomach: when cultivated in an environment with pH = 3.0 and a temperature of 37 ° C for 3 hours, the number of live bacteria remains unchanged, which makes it possible, if it is impossible to swallow the capsule whole (for example, when prescribing infants) take only the powder contained inside the capsule (no gelatinous shell).
PS Please do not rush with slippers: recently our doctor said that there is no such disease "dysbiosis".
And on the Internet I found a lot of evidence of this:
🔗1. In the international classification of diseases adopted by WHO, the word "dysbiosis" is absent. It is very difficult to find it (this word) in special literature outside the CIS. In the overwhelming majority of developed countries, medical workers do not know the diagnosis of "dysbiosis" and "analysis of feces for dysbiosis."
🔗Dysbacteriosis: how to treat a non-existent diseaseGastroenterologist, candidate of medical sciences Vladimir Vladimirovich Vasilenko answers questions about dysbiosis.
The doctor diagnosed me with dysbiosis. I did not find such a disease in the medical encyclopedia. Please tell us what it is and how is it treated?
A. Luzhin, St. Petersburg
The question is answered by the gastroenterologist Vladimir Vladimirovich Vasilenko.
Is there a diagnosis?In RUSSIAN medicine, colon dysbiosis is usually called a special chronic condition leading to numerous extraintestinal complications, which must be treated by "planting" certain microbes. Judging by the numerous requests of patients to us, dysbiosis is perhaps the most common disease, although not a word is said about it in the normative document of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation "Standards (protocols) for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive system", approved by order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 125 of 17.04 .98. When working in the gastroenterological field, doctors of state medical and prophylactic institutions should be guided by this document, which contains recommendations on the tactics of managing patients with 35 most common diseases and pathological conditions of the digestive system.
Most of the leading Russian gastroenterologists a few years ago admitted that the diagnosis of intestinal dysbiosis has no clinical component, to put it simply, there is no such disease, and that's it.
Dysbacteriosis in childrenBECAUSE of the fact that dysbacteriosis as a disease does not exist, you can overdo it with its treatment. Insist that the pediatrician clearly formulates the diagnosis in accordance with the existing requirements and standards. And if you want to help your child with constipation and intestinal disorders, read the book "Child and Care" by the world famous and respected pediatrician Benjamin Spock.

What is dysbiosis confused with?Dysbacteriosis is a purely bacteriological concept, and its "correction" has nothing to do with healing. The bacterial balance is restored on its own, even if you are taking antibiotics. The intestine is a self-organizing system! Eat fruits, eat vegetables, and everything will be great!
Unpleasant sensations (increased gas formation, bubbling in the intestines, etc.), which are caused by excessive growth of intestinal flora, in most cases are easily suppressed by intestinal antiseptics - sulgin and phthalazole. They themselves are hardly absorbed and practically do not cause side effects.
Doctors who diagnose "dysbiosis" recommend regulating the balance of the intestinal flora by ingestion of biological, bacterial preparations. In fact, there are few indications for antibiotic therapy. It is bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine; the presence of inflammatory changes in the mucous membrane; identification of conditionally pathogenic microflora in crops of intestinal contents.
Actual violations of the qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microflora, in particular, an increase in the bacterial content in the small intestine from normal 104 / ml (jejunum) to 106 / ml and above, is a syndrome of bacterial overgrowth. It can occur when the nature of nutrition changes sharply, the movement of digested food through the intestines slows down, the secretion of digestive juices is disrupted, the normal flora is suppressed by the intake of antibacterial agents acting at the intestinal level. Externally, the syndrome of bacterial overgrowth is manifested by diarrhea. But it is, of course, impossible to make a diagnosis on this basis alone. Treatment consists of targeting the underlying disease causing bacterial overgrowth.
The diagnosis of "intestinal dysbiosis" is usually attributed to periodic cramping pains along the colon, upset stools with a tendency to diarrhea, constipation, or their alternation. In fact, these symptoms are usually manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome or latent lactose deficiency. To detect it, a 2-3-week diet with the elimination of lactose is prescribed or a test with a load of lactose is performed. There are a number of other diseases with similar symptoms.
The diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be confirmed by laboratory and ultrasound examinations. It is very difficult to treat IBS even for a gastroenterologist. The best way to deal with this problem is a good therapist who is able to carry out complex treatment: psychotherapeutic, dietary, and medicinal. About IBS, one can say 100% that this disease is "from the nerves", therefore, ideally, one should follow Dr. Botkin's call to "treat the patient, not the disease. Anger, melancholy, fear, dissatisfaction with one's job or position, excessive emotional stress, lack of information - all this causes an overstrain of the nervous system; the regulation of the work of many organs, including the digestive system, is disrupted. " According to statistics, in European countries, IBS occurs in 15 - 20% of the population, but doctors themselves admit that the real number of sufferers is even greater. It's just that the rest prefer to deal with the "delicate" problem themselves.
Try to maintain an even and benevolent mood, following the commandments of ancient philosophers: Democritus, for example, considered the ideal "euthymy" - a calm, balanced life, and Epicurus preached "ataraxia" - a serene state of mind. Jonathan Swift said that the three best doctors in the world are Dr. Diet, Dr. Peace, and Dr. Fun.

Dysbiosis testsWHEN I am asked whether it is worth taking an analysis for dysbiosis, I answer: "It is worth it only if there is a doctor who, based on the results of the analysis, will prescribe a special treatment, and not the standard and harmless bactisubtil and hilak. They can be taken without preliminary research for 250 rubles." ...
The essence of the bacteriological examination of feces is that several types of bacteria are studied in its mass and, on the basis of this, conclusions are drawn about the most complex intestinal system, represented by more than 400 types of microorganisms. In this case, the bacterial spectrum is considered not a consequence, but a cause of systemic disorders. This is as reasonable as arguing that fever is the cause of the flu.
It is not known where the rates come from. There are no serious studies of the microflora of feces and the effect on it of age, gender, pregnancy, food and medications taken, current diseases. No one has seriously studied how quickly a return to baseline occurs after elimination of temporary factors.
Unfortunately, many doctors are still looking for the causes of most gastroenterological diseases in changes in the composition of the colon microflora.At best, they prescribe a long (and most often useless) intake of probiotics (coli- and bifidumbacterin, etc.), at worst, the patient takes antibiotics uncontrollably, risking serious complications, including intestinal complications.
Dysbiosis is not mentioned in the International Classification of Diseases. And among doctors of different specialties there is no consensus about what it is. A pediatrician, immunologist, microbiologist, allergist and infectious disease specialist will have different opinions on this topic.
