Re: Do different strains of probiotics affect different areas

[Guest guest]

Yes, although I don't have anything handy but what I have read in the

past is that certain bacteria have certain functions and that they

are more heavily colonized in certain areas of the colon than in

other areas. For example, I think the body manufactures certain

forms of B vitamins more so in certain parts of the colon, than in

others, and so it makes sense that when there is a change in the

environment, that it is going to perhaps " host " different bacteria

more so than those bacteria would be in another part of the tract.

certain areas..................I guess they do, I would imagine just

like antibiotics, there is data on which strain of an antibioic kills

certain bacteria, and which does not, so according to what I've read,

yes certain bacteria aid certain areas.....................
