Gestational diabetes: study that they gave probiotics to reduce the chance of gestational diabetes worked. Nothing unless you bring them: nurses probably have multi-drug resistant staph, so probably no beneficial microbes. If you do(cid:374)"t get that at risk of diabetes. Necrotizing enterocolitis: you get alteres micrboes, and you get necrosis. Studies on antibiotics to prevent necrosis: probiotics do prevent nec, hospitals do(cid:374)"t see(cid:373) to gi(cid:448)e pro(cid:271)ioti(cid:272)s to pre(cid:448)e(cid:374)t, they have finally introduced as standard therapy for low birth weight therapy, now the rate is almost zero. Colic may be a consequence of early gut dysbiosis but probiotic therapy helps: simethicone helped to reduce the amount of time crying. Microbes in the gut affect pharmacological agents: some drugs are activated by the bacteria in your gut, some are inactivated, some can cause toxicity, no warnings anywhere from the drug companies. Pesticides: we consume pesticides that have been sprayed on to crops, has been linked to many diseases, e. g.
