What is Acidophilus Bifidum?
Acidophilus Bifidum, often referred to as Bifidobacterium bifidum, is a beneficial probiotic bacterium found in the human gut. This strain plays a key role in maintaining a healthy digestive system by aiding in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates and promoting the absorption of nutrients. It also helps maintain the balance of gut microbiota and supports immune function.
Why do I have deficiency?
A Bifidobacterium bifidum deficiency can result from a poor diet, high stress, antibiotic use, or gut disorders. Low fiber and prebiotics reduce beneficial bacteria, while antibiotics disrupt the gut’s balance. Symptoms include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and digestive discomfort. Low B. bifidum levels can weaken immunity, increase inflammation, and may contribute to IBS, IBD, and skin issues like eczema. This bacterium also aids in nutrient absorption, so a deficiency may lead to fatigue and nutrient shortages.
What can I do about it?
To address a deficiency, consider increasing your intake of prebiotic-rich foods such as bananas, onions, and garlic, which support the growth of beneficial bacteria. Probiotic supplements containing Bifidobacterium bifidum can also help replenish levels. Eating a balanced diet with fiber-rich foods and avoiding unnecessary antibiotics can promote a healthier gut microbiome.
