What does ACIDOPHILUS DO inside us?

Acidophilus is a great, natural probiotic.  The way that it actually works is that certain substances which sour, such as active cultured yogurt, buttermilk and certain cheeses, contain Lactobacillus acidophilus that enhance digestion and elimination by effectively digesting proteins in the bowel.  Acidophilus also helps to detoxify harmful bacteria by helping to restore friendly bacteria that keep certain microorganisms in check.  That's the "how" in the best terms that I can use to describe it.  Please visit the website below to read more on the answer to whether the bacteria pass the stomach acids.  The answer is yes they do. The website reads, "Surviving the Stomach -\nAdding to the false-label-claim hazard is the fact that stomach acid destroys many probiotics before they reach the intestines, which is why some probiotic products must be taken in the morning when stomach acid levels are lowest. In response, some companies are developing new pill-coating methods to keep probiotics intact and alive as they pass through stomach acids."  Hope this information answers your questions!  They were good questions! :-)

They're different liquids. The stomach produces concentrated acid (HCl), the liver bile. The first mashes stuff up and kills germs, the other helps break down fats. Unless I've conmpletely forgotten my biology classes from 20 years ago.

The average human releases 0.5 to 1.5 litres (1 to 3 U.S. pints) of flatus a day by flatulating 12 to 25 times[1][2][3]. The primary constituents of flatulence are the non-odorous gases nitrogen (ingested), carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic microbes or ingested), and hydrogen (produced by some microbes and consumed by others), as well as lesser amounts of oxygen (ingested) and methane (produced by anaerobic microbes)[4]. Odors result from trace amounts of other components (often sulphur containing, see below).\n\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane[5]. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled.

What's your question about it?\n\nThis is the mechanism by which ATP is produced in bacteria, mitochondria and chlorplasts.  Energy for the formation of ATP (by the enzyme ATP synthase) is provided by a proton charge and concentration gradient across a membrane (inner mitochondrial membrane or thylakoid membrane, or plasma membrane in bacteria).  What else would you like to know?

its the methane producing bacteria in their digestive tract.\nthey break down the oganic nutrients from the cows food, and produce methane as a waste product

the bacteria's cell membrane is semi permeable to certain molecules.  bacteriacides probably have some form of "nutrient" in them to confuse the bacteria into taking it in.  It is sort of like rat poison.

Gas, my dear . .gas and acids in the stomach.

yeah that sounds like gastric ulcer this means that there has been a  puncture created by acid from ur stomach cells in ur stomach. this is going to allow the acid whiich has a pH of abt 2 to trickle little by little in the space and affect other organs causing irritaions. better see a doc quick.

Reduce your sugar intake and ingest yogurt made with Lactobacillus acidophilus. Wear breathable clothing. Your infection should dissipate.

No.  Proteus vulgaris is not one of the acid fast organisms.  It'll stain just fine with Gram's stain.\n(Gram Negative rod)

our skin is our first external defence, providing a barrior between the bacteria and our bodies. Another defence is flem, the stuff that comes out when you blow your nose. it captures dirt and bacteria on it's way to the lungs and gets rid of them either by taking it down to the stomach and a nice acid bath, or your cough it up and get rid of it completly.\nan obvious internal defence is the antibodies and white blood cells of the immune system.

Hello , yes, acidopholous, its "good bacteria" Yogurt has it in it. You can buy it separet in a capsule or liquid. Try not to eat anything acidic,like soda and fried foods,etc.Drink plenty of water. Also NO sugar. Stuff like white bread and pasta turns to sugar during digestion so stay away from that too, besides no cake and candy. Hope it heals up for you. Take care.

Bacteria, one-celled organisms visible only through a microscope. Bacteria live all around us and within us. The air is filled with bacteria, and they have even entered outer space in spacecraft. Bacteria live in the deepest parts of the ocean and deep within Earth. They are in the soil, in our food, and on plants and animals. Even our bodies are home to many different kinds of bacteria. Our lives are closely intertwined with theirs, and the health of our planet depends very much on their activities.\n\nMuch of our experience with bacteria involves disease. Although some bacteria do cause disease, many kinds of bacteria live on or in the human body and prevent disease. Bacteria associated with the human body outnumber body cells by ten to one. In addition, bacteria play important roles in the environment and in industry.\n\nWe have all had bacterial diseases. Bacteria cause many cases of gastroenteritis, sometimes called stomach flu. Perhaps the most common bacterial disease is tooth decay. Dental plaque, the sticky film on our teeth, consists primarily of masses of bacteria. These bacteria ferment (break down) the sugar we eat to produce acids, which over time can dissolve the enamel of the teeth and create cavities (holes) in the teeth.\n\nTooth decay provides a good example of how multiple factors contribute to bacterial disease. The human body hosts the bacteria, the diet supplies the sugars, and the bacteria produce the acid that damages the teeth.\n\nCommunities of bacteria form what are called biofilms on many body surfaces. Dental plaque is a biofilm covering the teeth. Biofilms also cover the soft tissues of our mouths and the inner surfaces of our nose, sinuses, throat, stomach, and intestines. Even the skin has bacterial communities that extend into hair follicles. Bacterial communities differ in each region of the body, reflecting the environmental conditions in their specific region. Bacteria that inhabit the surface of the stomach, for example, must deal with extremely strong acid in the digestive juices.\n\nSome regions in the interior of the body are sterile—that is, devoid of living organisms other than the cells of the body. Sterile regions include the muscles, the blood, and the nervous system. However, even these regions face constant invasion by bacteria. The body’s immune system is designed to rid the body of these invaders.\n\nA healthy, balanced community of bacteria is extremely important for our health. Some of these organisms protect us from disease-causing organisms that would otherwise infect us. Animals raised in a completely germ-free environment, without any contact with bacteria, are highly susceptible to infectious diseases if they are exposed to the outside world. Bacteria in our bodies also provide us with needed nutrients, such as vitamin K, which the body itself cannot make. The communities of bacteria and other organisms that inhabit the body are sometimes called the normal microflora or microbiota.\n\nFor the rest of this information, go to:)\n\nhttp://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761574409/Bacteria.html

There are tons of bacteria in our bodies that are there to help our body work.  E. coli in the digestive tract helps break down food.

Lactobacillus casei is a transient, anaerobic microorganism of genus Lactobacillus found in the human intestine and mouth. As a lactic acid producer, it has been found to assist in the propagation of desirable bacteria. This particular species of lactobacillus is documented to have a wide pH and temperature range, and complements the growth of L. acidophilus, a producer of the enzyme amylase (a carbohydrate-digesting enzyme). It is known to improve digestion and reduce milk intolerance and constipation.

Lactobacili\n\nMicroorganisms, both good and bad, that enter our bodies from the food we eat have to conquer various physiological barriers in order to remain alive and effective in the human intestinal tract. The first barrier is gastric juice, the second is bile. These barriers destroy all bacteria killing most of the microorganisms which invade the human intestinal tract. Live lactic acid bacteria called, Lactobacili Casei Shirota, is actually good bacteria isolated in the human intestinal tract. The Lactobacili Casei Shirota is resistant to gastric acid and bile, and thus are able to reach the intestines alive. Once in the intestines they keep a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria, thus promoting intestinal health. Drinking fermented milk or yogurt drinks that contains live lactic acid bacteria called, Lactobacili help prevent intestinal disorders like diarrhea, constipation and other diseases.
