Many things, yes &..: Probiotics have many uses & benefits. They are famous for reducing GI symptoms like diarrhea & constipation & are proven to prevent diarrhea due to using antibiotics, but they also can regulate/boost/balance the immune system, helping allergies, asthma & autoimmune problems. They can lower cholesterol. See http://online.Wsj.Com/article/sb10001424127887324784404578143402702878118.Html & comment:.
