Male Speaker: A new study has revealed a poor digestive health is badly affecting UK workplaces, sex lives and also the nation's holidays. Over half of the sufferers have miswork because of diarrhea one in eight claim the digestive health has significantly reduced their sex lives, and also two-thirds have had an upside stomach whilst on holiday. In fact, digestive health problems are very common in the UK with two-thirds who have suffering in one way or another.
Emma Young: I've been suffering from regular bad habits since I was a teenager and constipation being one of my biggest problems and can get a lot of bloating and irritability with that. So, I decided one day to go to the doctor and find out what was going on. She then sent me for tests, one of those test being colonoscopy. I was diagnosed and with IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Male Speaker: So, does influence digestive health will earlier on I code out with Doctor Paul Stillman, he says it's all about bacteria and probiotics.
Dr. Paul Stillman: Let me think about bacteria, we tend to think about things, which can cause harm, which were going to cause infections, and of course, many of them do, but actually in a bowel, in our intestine are literally, untold numbers of friendly bacteria's than our core. These are bacteria, which are actually helping the digestive process; smoothing the transitive food through the process and generally doing lot a good. There are a number of different strains and the balance between them is actually vital to the whole thing that we working normally.
When we go abroad and have a stomach upset, often doesn't know what's happened as that balance been disturbed. Maybe if we're eating the food that we're not used to, maybe it's not been prepared properly, maybe we've actually got an infection from the water, which is upset the balance of those bacteria. What are probiotic does is really quite simple, essentially it's just a mixture of various strains of bacteria, which are designed to be very similar to the ones that's inside our body and therefore it restores the balance. And so, if you got some sort of problem like Traveler's Diarrhea that's very likely to be helped.
Even, if you got something Irritable Bowel Syndrome that too is quite likely to be improved if you take a probiotic regularly.
Male Speaker: So, probably I'll takes all the way forward, but had make sure you're getting the right one from the many on the market while earlier on I code out with another expert Doctor Carrie Ruxton.
Dr. Carrie Ruxton: What you're looking for is a probiotic that has a lot of the good bacteria in it, you really needing about one and a half billion per dose. Also, you want to guarantee to get through the acidity of the stomach to the lower intestine where it's needed, and not really needs the probiotic to be protective from the acid perhaps, even to have a balance of different types of streams that is going to make the product very stable. I think that's also was important as having a products that's convenient to take at the loss of refrigerative products, so they're you can't take them in holiday with you, of course, something ambient is actually a good idea because that means that you just take it wherever you happen to be.
The support that just been along which called -- that seems stoical the boxes for a good probiotic product. And what is got just the one-and-a-half billion good bacteria, they've done research showing that the bacteria get to where they're needed in the gut, there are five different streams, which help to make it more stable. And in chest, and then uniquely it seems to come in three different formats capsules, vial, which doesn't need to be refrigerated, and debenture for which can be sprinkled on food. And I think that gets consumers a lot more options and helps more people access the benefits of probiotics.
Male Speaker: There is no dialogue that those who have poor digestive health needs something to help them cope with what can be habilitating problem, and as Doctor Ruxton says there does seem to be some help out there and sufferers agree with that.
Emma Young: And when I was suggested to change where I had totally changed my Doctor. I did that first and I didn't notice any changes. I'm still getting a low constipation, still getting a loss of bloating. Once, first I start to taking the last biotic, after several weeks my symptoms has changed and I got less constipation, less bloating and I'm less irritable. It's really changed me the person, I'm really happy about it.
