A member asked:
Do (lactose free) probiotics help with gastritis? also, do they provide any benefit for the elderly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, esp. if...: Most cases of gastritis are caused by H. pylori. This is usually treated with antibiotics (though herbs like Mastic Gum can work as well). Probiotics are important for both helping to eliminate H. Pylori & for re-establishing healthy flora. Probiotics can be beneficial for people of any age as healthy flora is essential for good health.
