What destroys lactobacteria?
1. Antibiotics 2. Birth control pills 3. Gluten intolerance 4. Wheat allergies 5. Sweets (sugars can feed yeast and harmful bacteria in your colon) 6. Refined foods 7. A low fiber intake (rectified by simply eating a whole food diet) 8. Lack of food for the lactobacteria (they thrive on lactose!) How to beat the bloat? Include lactose-rich foods in your diet, including sweet dairy whey, which will directly feed lactobacteria. Also include yams, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and brown rice in your diet as secondary food (lactobacteria can also feed on dextrin, which is created when your body breaks down starches). AVOID pasta, bread, sugary cereals, and other refined grains. What about gluten intolerance and wheat allergies? If you suspect you are gluten intolerant, then try this simple test. Avoid ALL grains (and I mean ALL!) for four days, and then on the fifth day consume whole wheat bread or pasta twice. If you develop gas, bloating, diarrhea, or colon problems in the next 24 hours
