Are Probiotics Advisable For Frequent Stomach Infections?

Posted on Sat, 10 Sep 2016

Question: Hi,

I am intolerant to curd and milk products. Because of this I suffer from stomach infections more likely when I have restaurant food compared to home made food. So would you suggest any probiotic tablets and/or natural foods which are alternative to curd and butter milk i.e. 'the good bacteria'?
Thank you for your response. Is taking those tablets for one month sufficient? Or do I need to take them for one month every year?

Thanks,
XXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for query.

I understand your concern. You are having Lactose intolerance.Avoid outside food as most of the restaurant use tasting powders,hajino moto for taste which leads to gastritis. Avoid spicy and fatty diet.
You need to drink plenty of fluids.
Take fruits a lot especially kiwi and papaya,sprouts,lentils.
You can take Tab Biolac Z once daily for 1 month,But only with physician's prescription you get these medication

I saw the message. Just take them for 1 month, that's sufficient.
But drink plenty of fluids daily and make it a habbit.
