Each probiotic is unique, has a very specific intended purpose, with specific types or strains helping to manage certain specific conditions.<sup>2<\/sup>&nbsp;These may include reducing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, managing IBS symptoms like bloating, and changes in bowel habits. These friendly microbes also help us digest fibre and other nutrients.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probiotics are known by their genus, species, sometimes subspecies,&nbsp;and strain. For example, for the probiotic&nbsp;bacterium&nbsp;<em>Bifidobacterium&nbsp;animalis<\/em>&nbsp;subsp.&nbsp;<em>lactis<\/em>&nbsp;CNCM I-2494, the genus is \u2018<em>Bifidobacterium<\/em>\u2019, the species is \u2018<em>animalis<\/em>\u2019, the subspecies is \u2018<em>lactis<\/em>\u2019 and the strain is \u2018CNCM I-2494\u2019.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/danone-graoh-things-02-1024x1000-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060 lazyload\" width=\"402\" height=\"392\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/danone-graoh-things-02-1024x1000-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1060 lazyload\" width=\"402\" height=\"392\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to&nbsp;what you may think, probiotics don\u2019t make their way into your gut and set up \u2018camp\u2019 but rather, have a \u2018transient\u2019 effect meaning you consume them, they do a specific job, and then they leave your gut.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to note that&nbsp;not everyone needs&nbsp;to take a&nbsp;probiotic&nbsp;for general \u201cgut health\u201d. Probiotics have been identified as a treatment for specific conditions and symptom relief. It\u2019s important that you talk with your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian&nbsp;before taking a probiotic, to ensure you have a proper diagnosis&nbsp;and understand&nbsp;how a probiotic may be helpful. Together, you can select an appropriate probiotic that is the most suitable for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Probiotics&nbsp;come&nbsp;in various forms. Some come&nbsp;in pill form&nbsp;or&nbsp;powders,&nbsp;and&nbsp;they&nbsp;can also be found in certain foods!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Now,&nbsp;what are fermented foods?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fermented foods are foods or beverages that are produced by&nbsp;controlled&nbsp;microbial growth.<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;They include things like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut,&nbsp;and&nbsp;miso,&nbsp;to name a few!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may come as a surprise,&nbsp;but fermented foods&nbsp;have&nbsp;been around for thousands of years!&nbsp;Although they&nbsp;were initially valued because of their long shelf life, and organoleptic properties (i.e.&nbsp;their&nbsp;taste and texture),&nbsp;research&nbsp;has also allowed us&nbsp;to understand&nbsp;their potential&nbsp;health&nbsp;benefits.<sup>4,5<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consumption of fermented&nbsp;dairy foods such as yogurt have been scientifically studied.&nbsp;Health benefits include:<sup>6<\/sup>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improved ability to digest lactose&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improvement in bone health&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight management&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improvement in blood pressure&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced risk of developing heart disease&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduced risk of developing colon cancer&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the food, certain species of bacteria, yeasts and molds&nbsp;will&nbsp;carry out fermentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Microbes&nbsp;that carry out&nbsp;fermentation&nbsp;can still be&nbsp;alive&nbsp;in some fermented foods.&nbsp;However,&nbsp;other&nbsp;foods that undergo fermentation&nbsp;are&nbsp;then&nbsp;processed by pasteurization, smoking, baking, or&nbsp;filtering,&nbsp;which&nbsp;destroys&nbsp;the&nbsp;active microbes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fermented foods that DO contain live microbes include:<\/strong><strong><sup>7<\/sup><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Yogurt&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kefir&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncooked sauerkraut&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Traditional Kimchi&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fermented foods that DO NOT contain live microbes include:<\/strong><strong><sup>7<\/sup><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Beer and wine&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sourdough bread&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chocolate&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tempeh&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do all fermented foods contain probiotics?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short answer is&nbsp;<strong>no.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>Not all fermented foods use strains&nbsp;of microbes&nbsp;that have proven benefits for our health, or that can survive the trip through the gut.&nbsp;In addition, not all fermented foods have adequate amounts of those microbes to qualify as a probiotic!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find a&nbsp;few fermented&nbsp;foods&nbsp;with&nbsp;probiotics on the market,&nbsp;like&nbsp;probiotic&nbsp;yogurt,&nbsp;however, you should&nbsp;check the&nbsp;label&nbsp;and&nbsp;read carefully.&nbsp;Products should display each strain\u2019s designation, though some probiotics sold on the market may also use a simplified trademarked name&nbsp;instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Check out our handy chart for&nbsp;reference:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/danone-graoh-things-01-1024x443-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdhf.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/danone-graoh-things-01-1024x443-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1062 lazyload\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see,&nbsp;fermented milks,&nbsp;such as some yogurts&nbsp;and kefir,&nbsp;contain probiotics.&nbsp;Still,&nbsp;as we mentioned earlier,&nbsp;<strong>not all fermented foods contain&nbsp;live&nbsp;cultures, and even if they do contain live cultures, these&nbsp;cultures&nbsp;may not&nbsp;meet&nbsp;the&nbsp;definition&nbsp;of a probiotic<\/strong>.&nbsp;In conclusion, you should&nbsp;always&nbsp;try to&nbsp;be informed&nbsp;about the&nbsp;fermented&nbsp;foods you are consuming&nbsp;and work with a health care professional if you are looking to add fermented foods to your diet&nbsp;to treat&nbsp;a specific ailment.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"info\">More of a Visual Learner?
