What is the term “prebiotic” and how does that figure into all this good bacteria and candida talk?
“Prebiotics” are a type of dietary supplement that “feed” the good bacteria within your intestinal tract. Prebiotics work as sort of a “fertilizer” for the microscopic bacteria plants. The good bacteria feed and reproduce. This in itself is a very good thing because the growth of good bacteria helps keep the bad bacteria in check. It’s sorta like feeding your lawn a proper fertilizer so that the grass continues to grow and keep the weeds crowded out.
