Istanbul – Seasonal transitions are among the periods when epidemic diseases occur most frequently. The most important thing to do during these periods is to strengthen the immune system. One of the most effective ways to do this is probiotic use. Today, various dairy products containing probiotics, particularly yogurt, their complementary forms and probiotics in tablet, capsule and liquid forms can prevent many epidemic diseases, particularly diarrhea. While most people think of bacteria as harmful microorganisms when they hear the word bacteria, our bodies contain many both harmful and beneficial bacteria. While bacteria live in our intestines at a rate 10 times that of our body cells, an imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestines can lead to many diseases.

It is known that many discomforts such as digestive system diseases in particular, intestinal gas, bloating, constipation and diarrhea, etc. occur due to intestinal bacterial imbalance. Experts in the field state that one of the most important solutions to eliminate this imbalance is regular probiotic use.

Stating that probiotics have many different benefits besides helping maintain and restore the natural balance in the intestinal system, Chair of the Probiotic and Prebiotic Association Prof. Dr. Tarkan Karakan said; "The effectiveness of probiotic use in many digestive system-related diseases, particularly diarrhea, has been proven by clinical studies. Many studies conducted show that probiotics containing beneficial microorganisms can help in the treatment of infection-related diarrhea. Furthermore, there are many studies showing that probiotic use is beneficial in preventing diarrhea related to antibiotic use. For this reason, there is a much greater need for probiotic use especially during this period of seasonal transitions that create opportunities for epidemic diseases" he said.
