Abstract:

Lactobacillus acidophilus represents a probiotic bacterium that may be found in the mouth, gut, and vaginal canal. Lactobacillus acidophillus may help to relieve diarrhea, bloating, and cramps caused by bacteria that may cause everything from diarrhea to life-threatening colon inflammation. Escherichia coli (hencefourth E. Coil) bacteria are found in healthy people’s intestines as natural flora. Only a very small percentage, like the E. coli O157:H7 variety, can lead to severe stomach discomfort, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting; the rest of the E. coli variety is harmless.
