Are probiotics used to treat specific conditions, and do they have any side effects?

Probiotics are beneficial "bacteria" for the human body. They can help regulate the digestive system, and can be consumed by both adults and infants. Probiotics can synthesize digestive enzymes and participate in the digestion of nutrients in the intestine, avoiding excessive intake of probiotics, which can easily lead to imbalance of intestinal flora and even induce adverse symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Proper consumption of probiotics usually does not have side effects.

The role of probiotics is to participate in various cycling processes in water. Through their own metabolism, they consume organic matter in water, reduce the concentration of nitrite nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in water, thus achieving the purpose of improving and maintaining water quality. Fungi can synthesize digestive enzymes and participate in the digestion of intestinal nutrients together with digestive enzymes synthesized from animal foods, stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes in the animal group, reducing the depth of intestinal crypts, increasing the height of villi, intestinal surface area, and promoting the absorption of intestinal nutrients.

Are probiotics safe for infants? This type of bacteria is safe for infants and unlikely to have dangerous side effects. There are few studies on the possible side effects of long-term use of probiotics. However, we know that probiotics can cause mild allergies, with symptoms such as diarrhea, gas expulsion (bloating sensation), abdominal distension, and mild stomach pain. Taking more than the recommended dose of probiotics can produce adverse reactions, but they are relatively mild and will not affect the health of infants. In addition, these symptoms mainly occur when infants first start using probiotics and usually disappear after a few days.
