Probiotics and Colon Health: Everything You Need to Know

​This page gives you more information on the importance of the colon and probiotics, this we can discuss during your colonic irrigation treatment as well and if you have any questions we are happy to answer them 0191 222 0100.

What Are Probiotics?

Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that help maintain the health and balance of your digestive system. Often referred to as "good bacteria," probiotics support your intestinal tract, fight harmful organisms, and enhance overall wellbeing.
A healthy lower intestine should contain at least 85% friendly bacteria to prevent the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms like E. coli or yeast infections. Unfortunately, due to modern diets and lifestyles, many people experience an imbalance where unfriendly bacteria dominate.

Why Do We Need Probiotics?

Modern diets and habits can wreak havoc on gut health. Factors such as processed foods, stress, antibiotics, alcohol, and chlorinated water destroy good bacteria, allowing harmful bacteria to multiply. This imbalance can lead to:
  • Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Poor nutrient absorption
  • Digestive discomfort
Probiotics play a crucial role in restoring balance in the gut by replenishing friendly bacteria and keeping harmful bacteria under control.

The Benefits of Probiotics?

The Benefits of ProbioticsTaking probiotics has been shown to:
  • Improve digestion and nutrient absorption
  • Inhibit harmful bacteria that cause digestive issues
  • Stimulate the immune system, enhancing your body’s natural defenses
  • Support vitamin production essential for overall health
  • Promote regular bowel movements, reducing constipation and bloating

What’s the Difference Between Prebiotics and Probiotics?

Probiotics are live, beneficial bacteria that support your gut health and help maintain the balance of your digestive system. In contrast, prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that serve as “food” for probiotics. Prebiotics help stimulate the growth and activity of the good bacteria already in your gut. Think of prebiotics as the fuel that allows probiotics to thrive, working together to create a healthier and more balanced gut microbiome.

Do Probiotics Help After a Colonic Hydrotherapy Treatment?

After a colonic, some good bacteria are naturally flushed out along with harmful bacteria. While your body replenishes friendly bacteria on its own, a probiotic supplement can help accelerate this process, especially for individuals with:
  • Constipation
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
  • Frequent bloating or sluggish digestion
At Central Healthcare, we offer high-quality probiotic supplements to help restore your gut flora and maintain optimal digestive health.

Common Signs of Colon Dysfunction

Issues with colon health are more common than you may think. Common symptoms include:
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhoea
  • Bloated stomach
  • Indigestion
  • Headaches
  • Irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea
  • Overweight
  • Craving for food
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Insomnia
  • Bad breath
  • Menstrual problems
  • Swelling of the legs
  • Asthma
  • Backache
  • Poor appetite
  • Acne and skin problems
  • Abdominal discomfort

How Probiotics Support Colon Health

The colon, or large intestine, is essential for eliminating toxins and waste. Over time, waste can build up on colon walls, leading to symptoms like constipation, bloating, and discomfort. Probiotics improve colon health by:
  • Preventing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria
  • Supporting healthy bowel movements
  • Reducing intestinal toxicity
  • Aiding nutrient absorption
If you’re experiencing symptoms of poor colon function, probiotics can be a natural and effective solution.

How Probiotics Improve Overall Health

Probiotics don’t just benefit digestion; they also support:
  • Immune health: By maintaining gut balance, probiotics enhance your body’s ability to fight off illness.
  • Fungal infections: Probiotics are effective in treating candida overgrowth, thrush, and athlete’s foot.
  • Cholesterol levels: Certain probiotics help reduce reabsorbed bile salts, contributing to healthier cholesterol levels.

How Probiotics Improve Overall Health

Why Choose Probiotic Supplements?While probiotic-rich foods like live yogurt, miso, tempeh, and fermented vegetables can help, they don’t always guarantee consistent results. With food:
  • You don’t know the exact bacterial strain you're consuming.
  • Many probiotic bacteria struggle to survive the acidic environment of the stomach and fail to reach the colon.
A good probiotic supplement, like the one we provide at Central Healthcare, ensures you’re getting the right number of live, beneficial bacteria delivered where your body needs them most.

Oral Probiotics vs. Rectal Probiotic Inserts


​Probiotics can be taken orally in supplement or food form, or administered as rectal inserts. Oral probiotics must pass through the stomach, which is highly acidic and can destroy some beneficial bacteria before they reach the colon. However, high-quality supplements contain strains designed to survive this journey.

On the other hand, rectal probiotic inserts deliver probiotics directly to the colon, bypassing the stomach entirely. This method allows for quicker and more efficient absorption of beneficial bacteria, making it particularly useful for individuals with significant digestive issues or imbalances. Both methods can be effective, but choosing the right option depends on your specific needs and health goals.
