Description
Testing for Lactobacillus levels can benefit individuals with digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. It’s also useful for those with weakened immune systems, chronic gut disorders, or who have recently completed antibiotic treatments.

Lactobacillus offers several benefits, including improving digestive health, enhancing nutrient absorption, and supporting the immune system. It helps maintain a balanced gut microbiome, which is essential for overall health. Lactobacillus also plays a role in preventing and treating diarrhea, particularly following antibiotic use, and may alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and lactose intolerance.
Foods rich in Lactobacillus include fermented dairy products like yogurt and kefir. Fermented vegetables, such as sauerkraut and kimchi, and fermented soy products like miso and tempeh, also contain high levels.
