Did you know that your intestinal (GI) tract contains over 1000 species of bacteria? Humans carry around more cells of other organisms than human cells and many are in the colon.

These bacteria eat what you eat, and a surprising amount of the microbial digestion products make it into your blood stream and body.  Different species of digestive tract microorganisms thrive on different foods.  Thus when we alter our dietary intake of things like fibre, simple sugars, protein, fat, and many other nutrients, we are literally either feeding or starving different populations of gut bacteria!

Healthy Diet, Healthy Bowel, Healthy You

Thankfully, studies are revealing that the vast majority of microbial species that positively affect human health thrive on what are considered healthy diets for humans.[ii] On the other hand, the bacteria that produce metabolites harmful to human health thrive on unhealthy foods. Thus by changing what we are feeding them, we can feed the good bacteria and starve out the bad, or we can do just the opposite. And this will either boost the health-promoting byproducts of microbial activity in our digestive tract or increase the toxic metabolites of ‘bad’ bacteria.
Unfortunately, the diets of most people leave something to be desired. For a variety of reasons, many people have a sub-optimal balance of good and bad bacteria in their digestive tract. The medical community has long suspected that something microbial was involved in gastrointestinal health problems. For many years, doctors have used faecal transplants in cases of difficult gastrointestinal problems in order to transfer the benefits of a healthy bowel to a diseased one. But only recently has research begun to reveal the full impact of gut microorganisms on human health. For instance, studies have shown a shocking correlation between gastrointestinal problems and serious mental illness. Researchers at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, observed that 90% of the patients who repeatedly sought treatment for digestive tract symptoms had at least one current psychiatric diagnosis – 48% had at least two. The billions of little molecules released into your bloodstream by the bacteria in your own body (digesting whatever you give them) can have a significant impact on almost every aspect of your metabolism and your health.
So, eat your vegetables and maybe replace a few sweets with some probiotic yogurt! It’s not only good for you, but it is good for the populations of bacteria that you want to thrive in your gut – the good ones.[v] But even your best efforts at lifestyle change can use a boost, especially if you have reached the point where you have health problems that need correcting. It takes a lot of time and effort to change the entire bowel ecosystem. Thankfully, there are ways to speed up the process.
One way to influence the populations of bacteria in your gut is to alter what you eat – what you feed them. Products using this approach are called “prebiotics.” Prebiotics are an increasing focus in the food and supplement worlds. A second way to change your gut ‘microflora’ is to insert some more of the bacteria you want and help out-compete the bad guys for resources and living space in your colon. Products that do this are called “probiotics” and they are also increasingly popular.
